Get your heart checked while your at it. Get a stress test. Low kidney function is a possible indicator of something wrong with your heart.
Just had all this stuff done. If you juiced for any length of time I would get it checked as soon as you can.
I remember when I had THAT discussion with the doc "Holy shit... your creatin and BUN levels are through the roof!!!" ... "Yeah... I take creatine and eat a lot of protein, I am muscular so naturally those levels will be high"... "yes, I suppose you may right"..."does that mean this visit is free???"..."NO, it means you need to stop taking everything and come back in 30 days to test your theory"... "DAMMIT! I guess you win again"... "See you 30 days Mr.Core, the receptionist will schedule your next appointment"..... I was right
I got a blood test last month and my creatinine levels were off the charts. I didn't really know anything about that and all I was told was that my kidneys might not be working and they needed to do another test. So I spent part of last month kinda worried about/thinking about mortality. And then I also found out that my cholesterol is ridiculous. Bad stuff too high (391, should be below 200) and good stuff too low. So now I'm on Lipitor and baby aspirin and shit.
Kidneys ended up being fine. They make you save a day's worth of urine and then draw blood the next day and compare the levels of creatinine in your blood vs urine. Carrying around that gas can full of piss all day wasn't fun.
Anyway, when you're thinking about dying there are plenty of things you realize are wastes of time. Like the show Girls, or arguing about Muslims on the internet. I spent a lot of quality time with friends, called my mom a lot (but maintained the standoff with my dick dad).
Did you miss me?
When you have a health scare, it definitely makes you look at life different and realize the important things. Glad you are ok.
