Hi Rebecca - Since you've asked specifically about dark colored urine you may find the following article helpful, as it covers the many causes of abnormally colored urine: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003139.htm
I would, however, advise you to call your doctor's office about these symptoms. Also, if you have changed or added new medications or any supplements lately I'd look them up for information on possible side effects or possible contraindications.
Just yesterday I worked with a man who is taking an over the counter medication that is contraindicated for the cancer medication he takes and will negate the impact of his drug therapy. He had seen his oncologist this week and mentioned that he was taking the medication and the oncologist didn't tell him that he should not take it, yet the information is right there on the package insert and website for the cancer medication. As you know, and point out so well in your blog, we sometimes have to check and double check information to protect our health.
Let us know what you learn, I will be thinking about you and hoping that you will be feeling better soon.
Take care,
Pat
