It has been two weeks and I have been drinking water like it is no man's business! My primary doctor wanted me to drink a lot of water for two weeks to see if my creatine levels would go down. Creatine can be the sign of kidney stones developing as a result of taking calcium supplements. I have had to take calcium supplements ever since my Thyroidectomy because I lost two parathyroids during the surgery.
I went for the blood test on Wednesday. I also had to pee in a cup.
The blood tests results arrived today. My creatine levels (which should be below 1.0) were 1.48. Drinking all that water did not help!
Next stop? I need to get an ultrasound of the kidneys to see what is going on.
