Diary: September
16th Sept 14:00
Still slightly twingie and more of a marker, with acidic pH and a weird brown ketone marker. Eating not so well and working fairly hard etc. Will try and sort food better for two days and drink cleavers. ![]()

For the rest of September I intend to use the Uritest sticks as the monitoring of nitrites and leukocytes for a sign of infection or ought else has been uneventful.
The problem is that I have been used to very low or zero readings which I think are a product of using the mission sticks. This sense of things being ok and getting better have been a major part of my happiness and thence defence.
Today as anticipated the reading was slightly positive. There were indications of non-haem but very light, same as 6th Sept.
Update on the twinges which have been absent for months. They came back a few times over the last week and I think it may be due to an acidic pee. Whilst using the Mission sticks I had a regular highly alkaline pee except two days ago when I clearly felt something was amiss.

Using the Uristick again I find a light marker. The overall tone is off and there is almost a non-haem dot or two.
5th Sept 13:26
- pH The very high(alkaline) for a week or two or more. That's with the Mission sticks which I thought had a low reading compared to the Uristicks. The Uristick gives the same reading.(7.5 to 8)
- protein There has been a notable marker albeit at its lowest level of (0 to 15 g/Lt)on Mission, whilst the Uristick gives a negative reading.
- non-haem There is also a small marker on the Uristick whilst there is none on the Mission.
- Leukocytes gives >70 marker after a few more minutes.

Did a Leukocyte and Nitrite test this morning and they were both negative. I didn't do the blood as early morning is often unrepresentative due to the bladder storing overnight, although that's what I relied upon to show up any infection.
Also the tingling has all but gone, and the urine passed more easily, and in quantity: so maybe there was a blockage?
Having obtained some test sticks with Leukocytes and Nitrite options the next first two weeks shall contain results of those also.
In the few times I have tested there has been some Leukocyte positive markers.
