Hi
I have had nauseating, terrible pain for about 3 to4 days now. Called Dr on wkend and he said my dr didn't let them give breakthrough meds to his patients but he would let them know I called about pain. Yesterday I called Dr and never got return call. Today called again and the nurse said he might want me to come in-not possible 2 hours away and can't ride that long right now anyway. So I finally had my daughter go get the Azo test strips- I have never used them before and don't know if my Dr will put any credence in them but the strip said my white blood cells are 500+++ but did not register any nitrites. For those that have used these before does this usually with confirmed infection as result? I have had very few infections in my life and none since diagnosis one year ago. I called back to have service add the results of the test at home to my previous call. I will probably end up at urgent care but honestly dont have the $55 co-pay. Anyway just looking for other experiences and hoping that this can be solved with an atibiotic if not I have no clue what has changed- I was sailing along very well and now boom this hits.
