A few weeks ago (2 to be exact lol) I started having these weird pains in my abdomen area, I tried to think nothing of it, but when its constant and doesn't go away for 2 weeks, it kinda starts to make you think something is up.... well that and the fact I have had several instances where I peed this weird brown color, Thursday night being the nastiest... because everyone cares about the color of my urine. Well, anyway, me not liking to "bother" my doctor, I decided the best thing to do would be to talk to my pharmacist, so I did and it seems she never wants to tell me what she thinks is going on because she doesn't want to scare me, she pretty much told me to call a doctor, because I should be seen...well I end up telling my mom because, of course, it was a friday morning, there were no appointments, she kinda blew me off and said "yeah, whatever call the md" then later I went to her house for dinner and her and my sister were talking about it like I am crazy.... I guess they just don't understand... I ended up going to a after hours clinic that sutter offers, loved the doctor, and told her about the family situation, she told me not to listen to them and to listen to my body and its a good thing I came in, because I probably caught something that may turn into a bigger problem....

Anyway, does anyone else have any experience with this issue...family, friends, coworkers thinking your a weirdo for being concerned about new things that come up? To be honest, before I would've probably waited like 3 months before I got this worried to see a md, but being on so many damn medications, having urine tests with protein and just the simple fact of lupus being a messed up disease...makes me worry a lot more about the little things
