Thoughts of a Hyperchondriac

http://library.crossfit.com/free/pdf/38_05_cf_rhabdo.pdf

So...the other day after a trip to bathroom...I've increased my water intake, yay!...I looked down and thought...rhabdo!!!  Holy crap!...I was going to have to get blood tests, and that would be expensive...I could also die if I didn't act quickly:/  I could be having some major internal problem and no symptoms, except for...coca-cola colored urine...with a slight red tint!  What was going on?  Did I have rhabdo?  It was shocking.



I immediately began to self diagnose and after a little research...come to find out, I had "Beeturia".  Whoowee!  What a relief.

I seriously thought...okay, maybe I had done my GHD sit-ups too fast or the combination of a little celebration after the NorCal Regionals! 

Low and behold, I had a beet salad with my breakfast and lunch.  Again, this is self diagnosis.

Beeturia:  After some people eat beets, their urine turns red, a harmless condition called beeturia or betaninuria. (http://udel.edu/~mcdonald/mythbeeturia.html)
