I'm staring at every wee that I do, thinking is that dark, how dark is dark?
Are you drinking enough water-most folks don't. You need 8-10 glasses daily unless you are on some type of fluid restriction from cardiac issues. Many skin problems you describe & dark urine are often from dehydration. It's also important for those of us on meds to stay hydrated-I think it would be a good idea to get your labwork checked just to get that extra stress off of you. Take care
