A story about Kidney Stones

If you think you have kidney stones eat a lot of fresh asparagus. I did this and mine passed very comfortably.

Don't worry ryj, it's just God punishing you for leaving Alleg.

Understandable problem

it's mostly flat with few sharp edges. I don't see the problem.

The problem is Eris is from Missouri and he's trying to revive the Civil War.

Why? Comparing Atlanta vs, say, Detroit, I'd say the south won.

Unfortunately this is used for stones which are too big to pass and with a little luck reduces them to the size that you can pass them...
This is cheaper and safer than surgery and also quiet convenient if you're interested in making the patient suffer...

For those who have suffered from KS I can only say I feel your pain as im sure you felt mine. Even Psyc took the high road as a man who has been where I was. However TC continues to act as a child. I expect nothing less from him.

As for Backtrak: After the CAT scan they found no more. At least none big enough to see. However I was told once you get a KS you are high risk to pass more in your lifetime.

As I would not wish this on my worst most hatted enemy(even the ones in Alleg who hate me)(expect maybe my xwife but she has had 4 kids so she most likely knows how it feels:) I dred the day I pass another. Im only hopefull im not driving the next time it happens

Amd for CookieMonster: its a small price to pay to enjoy life outside a online game. My jet ski has never called me an idiot......... well not yet:)

Took them out today and had a blast

Happy easter

I've passed chips before, but never full-formed stones. I drink so much water (8+ liters a day, every day) that they never have a chance to form fully. Between that and the cranberry pills I take (because UTI's are no fun either) I'm low risk for ever having a fully-formed kidney stone.

The first chip I passed scared the crap out of me. I'm pissing in a urinal and suddenly there's this sharp pain and a *tink* into the urinal. It would have hurt more, but I had a full-fledged version of Poseidon's Mighty Piss Stream going on.

I will say that avoiding Mountain Dew is probably a good idea. Every heavy Mountain Dew drinker I've known has either had bad kidney stones or bad gall bladder stones.
