Yesterday, while I was working, I started to experience a bit of blurred vision and then started to see spots. I tried to see if it would pass but after a while it got a bit worse. I called my friend Cathy to ask her if this ever happened to her, because the day before I had a dizzy spell on my walk home from daycare. We both agreed that it would be best for me to call my doctor and see what they said. I left a message, and did some research as I new that this could be a sign of high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia. I knew it wasn't the latter as I would have other symptoms.
My doctors office called me back right away and they said I should get in right away to be sure everything was alright. I then had to call Mike, but where he was working on site was a bad service range and had no reception. Darn it! So I had to call his foreman and leave the message for him to call home right away. I hate leaving messages like that! So he did and I said I needed him to come home so I could go to the doctors.
BP was fine, but my urine had some blood and whiteblood cells in it. So they suspect that I might be getting a bladder infection, which left untreated can cause kidney problems. This doesn't explain the spots or vision problems, but if it happens again I have call them right away. I have to go get some bloodwork done tomorrow morning though, and do my diabetes screen at the same time. Joy! Fasting from 8pm tonight! No snack before bed! Luckily the lab opens at 7am so I will be there as soon as I can! Now that we are over the flu, I like food again! Don't leave a pregnant woman hungry!!
So I go back as scheduled on the 17th to see my own doctor, and if anything is abnormal with my results they will contact me. Keep you posted!

That is really scary Cynthia - take it easy and keep us posted on how you are doing for sure!!!
Sounds scary - any chance you had any kind of a headache with the blurred vision, spots or dizziness? Could be a migraine starting to come on that just never materialized.
Good for you for calling the doctor right away though and getting things checked. Hope all goes well with the test results.
Hi honey, any news on this? How frightening! I hope you are better...
Am back from LB and am knackered! I am going to bed, will write with all the details tomorrow - or can you get in a phone chat? If so, call me at home...I think I should be in all day!
