NEW COMIC
this is what I was hoping for and did not get because one, the treatment for gallstones is not the treatment for kidney stones, and two, the pain just stopped and went away, hahaha, great feeling, doesn't feel like pain could find me at any moment at all

Okay, so August is kicking my ass good and proper on a few fronts including health and finances, but you know what that means? It means I'm still alive to fight back.
Always a positive😁😉

For those of you following about my most recent emergency hospital stay, operation due to more kidney stones, discovering kidney injury, and placement of stent:
I'm still waiting for news of when my next operation is. I'm managing reasonably well with the stent, although pain is quite high, causing additional issues with my fibro. The combination of meds are making me drowsy, brain foggy on top of fibro fog, and giving me some digestive issues. Overall, could be worse, so I'm hanging in there. Joys of disabled life😁

CW: dark humor
"Alright so I got kidney stones. Let's check the condition bingo card.... Yes. It is there. Let me circle it. Wow!!!! Heart attack, PCNS lymphoma, gout, GERD, and now kidney stones. Bingo!"
"Did I hear 'bingo?'"
"Yes. What's my prize?"
"Your prize is death!"
"Death? Aw... but I wanted to live."
"Yes. Sooner or later, everybody is a winner at the game of life and death, and the prize is death."
(For the random folks who don't know me and stumble upon this. I've had, or I currently have all the conditions I mention above. Such is life... and death. :derpface:)

CW: avoid if you experience emetophobia
I also puked. I was fine until I was going to the ambulance, and there, in the parking lot, I projectile-returned-to-sender the water I had been drinking.
Because of this, I had been thinking that I probably had appendicitis, but no. It turns out the pain I was experiencing because of the kidney stone was so bad that my gut went "YOLO, motherfuckers." (I did ask the doctor, and that's what she told me, though not with the exact words I'm using.)

Bad news... I have kidney stones. 🤬 I woke up with excruciating pain last night. At some point I decided to call 911 to go to the hospital.
The sliver of good news in this is that I took an Uber to go back home, and I was driven by Juan. We spoke almost all the way in Spanish.
I'm going to put the rest of my symptoms in a CW.

I hesitate to post #medical disinformation but at this point I think it's clear
I have been dissolving #kidneystones with crystalized lemons
In 2023, I had to have two stones removed surgically.
For Christmas 2024, I got big boxes of "True Lemon" packets (lemon, lime and orange) as flavors to drink more warer. But I've always loved sour things so I was just tossing back packets like candy.
Jan/Feb 2025 I started noticing stinging while urinating. By spring, I had captured a ~1mm stone.
Still not realizing the connection, I came up with a homemade lemon ice #recipe that I would then add lemon packets to. I started eating this daily as a low-cal, high-flavor treat. (Each serving of the ice is ~1 lemon worth of lemon oil and juice, but I also dump....20-30?...packets on a serving. If the marketing is to be believed, this is equivalent to several lemons per day. I LOVE sour.)
To be clear, I'm also still drinking vast amounts of water.
Over the summer I started collecting more and more stones. Every week or two there'd be a day where I'd get say 5 ~1mm stones plus various tiny bits over the course of a couple hours, exactly as if a larger stone broke up and came out as pieces. (Also some other phenomenology I won't get into here.) Mostly there's no pain associated with this but that's not to say I feel nothing.
Once I noticed the connection, I experimented. No lemon for a week or two -> stones stop. Back on lemon -> stones resume. I've done that cycle a few times now under different conditions.
Clear, detailed info on kidney stones is hard to find because there are so many different chemistries and causes. And very few will go so far as to say you can *dissolve* stones.
But also, very few can be taking in as much citric acid as I am.
But here's the deal: *citric* acid helps prevent and may also dissolve (some) kidney stones. But *ascorbic* acid can cause them.
So MAYBE I'm *causing* tiny stones to grow rapidly, passing them and calling that victory.
I would love to get some X-rays to really know.

Surprising Find Inside Kidney Stones Suggests We Were Wrong About How They Form

Bacteria and bacterial biofilms have been found in and on the surface of calcium oxalate kidney stones, which had been thought to be abiotic. The bacteria may be responsible for the development of the kidney stones and associated infections.

CW: Surgery / kidney stone update +
I removed my ureteral stent myself today! It went smoothly, no blood, I seem fully healed and back to normal as far as I can tell. I'll take it easy but I can't tell you what a relief it is to be done with the kidney stone + aftermath (knock on wood).
I found this page to have useful advice for removing the stent, for anyone in the same boat:
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/how-is-a-stent-for-kidney-stones-removed
And if none of this sounds fun, I encourage you to hydrate ;-)

Is there any reason *not* to go to Dorney Park and ride the roller coasters in an attempt to get my kidney stone to pass?
The actual study, where researchers took a model of a kidney on roller coasters and fed kidney stones through it:

https://www.sciencenews.org/article/riding-roller-coasters-might-help-dislodge-kidney-stonesI could ask my urologist, but I bet he'll say "no" and I guess if I have to hear "no" I'd rather hear it from fedi.

Had a #kidneystone a few years ago.
Recently I've noticed some stinging and one tiny stone pass. I bought a strainer and I've caught a bunch of gravel, but I couldn't find any #medical info explaining such a profusion of tiny #kidneystones
A new, larger attack today finally made me realize I'm not forming lots of tiny stones. One big stone is breaking up!
And why have I been breaking up a stone for the past few months? Because for Christmas I got 3 large boxes of dried citrus powder.
I'm eating the equivalent of probably 20 lemons/day. I bet my pH is through the roof (or floor--I can never remember which way that goes)

I need #US #healthcare advice.
I went to the ER with a kidney stone. They gave me ibuprofen and Flomax and sent me home to pee it out, they estimated a 60% chance of success, 40% chance I'll need surgery. They said get a #urology appointment ASAP.
Soonest appointment I've found is in 3 weeks. Painkillers run out before then, and it's not good to take ibuprofen 24/7 for that long anyway.
What do I do if I can't get an appointment sooner? Any tips for getting appointments faster?

Sheesh, I know it's 2024 & the tenth anniversary of Rosetta & Philae arriving at Comet 67P/C-G, but does my left *kidney* really need to pay tribute?! ☄️🛰️🫘
Anyway, am happy to have that little bugger out of my body – who'd have thought getting rid of a 5mm object could cause such agony, but then the ureter is a pretty narrow tube 😬✌️
Take it from me kids, drink more water. No, more than that. Keep going ... 🚰🚰🚰👍
