No UTI. The urine clture came back saying no UTI.
Tomorrow I have a kidney exam including iodine injection. I have to fast for 4 hours prior to the procedre. Thursday I have an in-office cystoscopy to make sure I don't have cancer.
So...it's either infimation of the vagina (not sure what that means or how it gets treated), kidney stones/tumor, my anatomy is off, or I have cancer.
Please pray for me.
I'm exhausted. Please forgive me for not posting.
Ruch
P.S. If you have any experience with an iodine injection please share it with me. My fear is throwing up, nausea, and PAIN. Thanks...

*HUGS* Ask the doc/whoever is doing the iodine injection if you can have some anti-nausea meds as well.
Lots of love and you are definitely in my thoughts, please let me know the results!

I hope they solve the mystery a.s.a.p. and that the remedy/answer is in your favour.
So, in the interim, "hang on to yourself!" Know that we all adore you. And usually you can get/take some Gravol or something for the nausea.
Kate.

Oh, Ruchie, I'm so sorry. I know you are worried about this, but it is going to be ok. I'm glad they are doing the tests soon, so you won't have to wait (and worry) before you get some answers.
I haven't had tests on my kidneys, but I had an dye test once to check and see if my fallopian tubes were blocked. The test was not painful. It was no big deal! I just remember having to undress for it, which in my younger years, really embarrassed me!
We are all here for you. You will not go through this alone. I will be praying for you this week, that God will give you the strength, courage, and widsom to make it through this difficult time.
((((Big hugs)))) I love you!

Oh sis, poor you. They will find out what it is soon.
I'm pretty sure mu mom had an iodine injection. Is this to make your veins show up? That's what hers did. She said it just made her very tired but no nausea.
Hang in there little one.

I've not ever had any of these tests before but they can give you something to prevent nausea. I'm hoping they get to the bottom of this very soon! Lots of love and hugs!

Ruchie,
I'm thinking of you. I know waiting for exams and results is the worst! So, please take care of yourself, get plenty of rest, and try to find something relaxing to do before your procedure.
*hugs*
