I was just at my rheumatologist & nephrologist they told me not to worry about some blood in pee and my flare symptoms by blood work no changes?

Call your doctor: It sounds like you received some information that DID make you worry. Call your nephrologist first and ask about the urine. There are likely some good reasons you were told not to worry and you may need reminding what they were. Same with your rheumatologist. Take your medications as directed and ask lots of questions. You need to know how best to care for your condition.
