@so1frustrated, I am reading your posts, and I want to commend you for your determination as you deal with your health concerns. It is not an easy thing to do, even in the best of times. You are fortunate to have a connection with a nearby NP. I do not have any experience with your condition, but I do have a respect/appreciation for kidneys due to my transplant. I am going to be thinking of you and hoping that your urologist appointment later this month goes well for you.
Will your NP be forwarding your medical records to the urologist so that he can refer to it? Are you making a list of the questions that you would like to ask?
How are you feeling these days?

Rosemary, thank you for your concern and encouragement. I am presently on day 4 of cephalexin 500 mg., and am seeing improvement in my urine color. I am hoping this will resolve the issue. My NP had me on 250 mg. 2 time a day but I talked her into increasing to full dose as even the lesser dose seemed to be helping a little. I still have some foamy urine and darker urine in afternoon and evening, but no longer seeing blood and overall improvement in urine color. Will be finishing course of antibiotic and am praying this is the problem (unidentified kidney infection). If this totally clears up will probably cancel urologist appointment and will go back only if problem comes about again. This has been a puzzle even for the urologist. Will update after finishing this last course of antibiotics. My NP has been forwarding all their results and actions so everyone is up to speed.
