I Have noticed a red hue to my urine lately and its kind of freaking me out. I am making a dr appointment first thing tomorrow 
trying not to let this trigger meā¦ i would always go to booz when i thought anything was wrong with me. rought night thats for sure. Not going to get any sleep unless i just pass outā¦ feel weird telling this to the world but im just worried. and of course when you webmd anything, the worst possibilities come up. ugh!
Yeah, donāt ever self diagnose online. āIt could be thisā¦ Or it could be cancer.ā Thatās WebMD in a nutshell basically. See your doctor, theyāre a professional and will help you more than WebMD or some strangers on the internet. Try to relax, youāre going to find out tomorrow and worrying about it one speed up the diagnosis nor change what you may or may not have, if anything may even make it worse. Relax.

Hi @Steve92. I just googled it myself. Lol.
I wouldnāt assume that itās anything serious. Even stuff that we eat can cause those effects.
Let us know what the doctor says. Weāre there for you. And thanks for sharing.

@Charlesfreck I passed out at like 7am after I took out my dog and didnāt wake up til I had to go to work at 4pm gona have to call tomorrow. Very rough night and day, all I could think about was how better I could feel if I go to the bar tonight since I donāt have work tomorrow. All day nonstop cravings

And I just got pulled overā¦ I was honestly dialing my sponsorās number and the cop pulled me over for being on my phoneā¦ he is behind me now -.- what a day
That is a crappyā day alright. Stay strong @Steve92! Best of luck with all the stuff you are dealing with today
You didnāt eat an beets. It doesnāt cause pain. It doesnāt cause the urine to have a bad odorā¦ Iām no urologist, but Iāve had to see one for 3 decades. Drink more water? When I canāt sleep I take a non-habit forming sleep aid. Sleep well tonight!

I hope everything is okay @Steve92! Sending good thoughts your way. I am in the middle of a health scare also with a mass on my ovary. It was diagnosed as a hemorrhagic cyst 5 months ago but itās gotten larger and causes me a lot of pain so theyāre doing another ultrasound tomorrow to check and see if I need an MRI. Itās been scary but it helps me to remember that panic and worry are not going to change a damn thing and drinking sure as heck wouldnāt help. Try and remind yourself that alcohol would be very hard on your kidneys, especially if something is going on that will need some medical attention. Take deep breaths and try your best not to worry until you know have reason to.

I am sorry, that is shit luck and I know seems universally unfair given everything youāre trying to do. Just try to remember nothing will get better if you give into the cravings. Symptoms may get worse and you will feel ten times worse - guaranteed. Try to sleep and wake up to a new day where you can hopefully get to the dr and get some reassurance.
I finally went to the dr on Monday after avoiding it since Nov, I had workef myself up so much googling symptoms and was relieved all of my tests came back and all is well. It was enough of a scare to solidify why I need to stay sober.
Anyway you are always so supportive on here, this is a bump in the road and will pass as all things do. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Oh boy, exhausted, worried, the police, no sleep and cravings - thatās one giant heap of crap to land on top of you!
At least with so many days of sobriety now you know drinking wonāt do anything at all to help you or the situation. Get your appointment and use your day off to get out and do things you enjoy Steve, you deserve it!
