I dont want to alarm everyone, but I had an episode at work - TopicsExpress

I dont want to alarm everyone, but I had an episode at work yesterday morning. I had been experiencing some lower back pain and some muscle spasms in my lower abdominal area, and yesterday I experienced extreme light-headedness at work. I talked to some friends who are very knowledgeable, and also went to Urgent Care this morning. The consensus is that I am most likely developing a kidney problem. I started to hydrate myself yesterday, and will continue to do so. I am starting to drink a glass of water before I go to bed, and a glass or warm water when I get up in the morning. I have cut down on both my coffee intake and cigarette smoking, and am starting to get a little food in me in the morning. I feel much better now.... I will be making an sppointment to a holistic medicinal center up in Chambersburg on Monday, and in the meanwhile, have a recommendation from that center for a couple of herbal kidney cleanses which I will go get at the Whole Foods Market today. I am more inclined to go Eastern Style for my internal problems first...If this does not work, I will get an appointment with my regular doctor and go the Western route on this. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers, and I will keep everyone updated on this. I also want to thank all the people at my workplace who helped me yesterday and kept in touch with me during the night..Paulela Burchill, Alan Day, Carlos Rivera, and most especially Vicki Love...thank you all for your kindness and concern.
