What Causes Fatigue, Lack Of Appetite And Dark Urination?
I have been feeling crappy for a few weeks now. Very lethargic, tired, no appetite etc. My urine was a dark brown and then after a while it was bloody. My back (lower right) started to hurt. I tried to get into see my doctor but cant till the 13th. I went to quick care and they said it was a bladder infection. Gave me an antibiotic and that is better but the urine is still dark brown. This morning I was sick to my stomach. I have little red spots (not itchy or sore) on my lower legs and tops and bottom of my feet. I m getting concerned.
