Hi I Am Having A Problem With My Drug Screens


Do you take any medicine?
Detailed Answer:
Hi Happymother79,
I am sorry to hear about your troubles. Do you take any prescription medicine? Legal prescription drugs can interfere with drug screenings. Also, you could hear if there is any possibility of getting tested by a blood sample, as any chronic UTI would not affect such a test result. Do you have chronic kidney failure, heart disease, or any other preexisting medical condition?
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Have you been around people doing drugs?
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
The metabolite you are referring to is indeed from cocaine. If you have been in the company of people who smoke crack cocaine, you could passively inhale the fumes?
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Is it positive on all tests
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
Yes it certainly is strange. Is it always positive for cocaine or just occasionally? Have they tried alternative tests, e.g. from hair?

It’s positive every 3rd or 4th test and the ones that isn’t positive is showing a high PH. Before the false positives the tests I was showing high PH every 3rd or 4th test. My counselor would tell me that I needed to be tested for a UTI when they would have the high PH. Now when I don’t have the false positive I have a high PH and they are saying that that means I’m trying to “manipulate” the drug test, by drinking a lot of water before the drug test or I’m trying to use a flush or something. I don’t know what a flush is, but they said if I am doing this, my methadone levels are exactly where They are supposed to be though. So that doesn’t make sense either. My urine is dark yellow to almost orange and it has a very very strong odor. I have a history of chronic UTI’s. I have had a kidney stone the size of a quarter that they found doing some xrays of my screws and rods in my back for my neurologist. I wish they would give me a different drug screen but urine is the only one they will do. I’ve asked if they would do a drug screen blood test and they said they don’t do that. I have medicaid so the clinic send my urine specimens all the way to XXXXXXX to have it analyzed and the patients that don’t have the state/government insurance, the clinic sends their urine specimens to their lab. In Tennessee I think? I’ve even offered to pay for them to be sent to the other lab and they wouldn’t let me. They were supposed to start doing the dip tests before they had it sent off but I haven’t heard nothing and haven’t been told nothing. When they told me that they were going to start doing that, it gave me the idea to buy some myself that is a 5 panel dip test that does Test for cocaine. That way when they would do a drug screen on me, I would use one of mine and have proof that I didn’t fail on my tests.... I’ve taken them every time too and I haven’t had a positive for NOTHING on them but my counselor would call me between 8-10 days later and tell me that I have failed. It’s crazy and there is something that’s not right. I have tried to find something on the internet that might could help or point me in the right direction to at least give me somewhere to test first like my kidneys or something. I did read one thing online and I have the link but it says something went wrong and to come back later. It’s the nbc-2 website so it’s a credible site. It said kidney disease can cause a false positive for cocaine and it said a couple of other things. This is the link for when or if they upload the content again. I have screenshots of those paragraphs.

You should make an appeal
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
It all seems very plausible and I believe that you do not do drugs. I suggest you find a local physician or health care lawyer to speak your case and make an appeal.
