Oily urine?

This is a bit odd, but lately I've been feeling very fatigued - like needing 2/3 naps a day as well as a full nights sleep sort of fatigue! And I have been weeing more frequently and getting cramps in my legs, and occasionally waking up with a sore back at night which goes away by the morning.

I've just been really busy lately and I was sort of thinking these are individual problems that will sort themselves out, and probably because I'm overweight. But then last night I went for a wee and there were big globs of oil in the bowl after! It was the oddest thing.

I've been again this morning and it's definitely not as bad but there does seem to be a greasy film on top of the water in the bowl after I have weed in it.

My doctors surgery doesn't open on Wednesdays but I'll be giving them a ring tomorrow. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced oily wees before!

Are you taking any vitamins or are you diabetic or doing low carb dieting?

Keytones in urine (from low carving or poorly controlled diabetes) can cause an oily film, as can an excess in some vitamins.

@Asimhereanyway not taking vitamins or on any special diets, also not diabetic that I know of but I have had gestational diabetes twice...maybe time for a check up about that
