Brief Answer:
Might be due to urinary tract infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query.

When you see white tissue-like floats in urine, they could be due to some discharge like pus and it could indicate presence of urinary tract infection.
I suggest you need to take a test like urinalysis, urine culture.
Presently I would suggest you drink plenty of water and drink cranberry juice which is found to be helpful in urinary tract infection.

In case, the investigation are suggestive of infection I would have treated you with tablet norflox 400 mg taken twice daily for three days.

Hope this helps.
Take care

Thank you. I will. Do you think the prickly skin or feeling like something is crawling on me is related? I am getting ready to take my NCLEX, so maybe its anxiety/stress?
