So, within the past 2 years I have had 5, count 'em 5 kidney stones. 3 the first time, and 2 the second time. The measurements were 4.5mm, 4.5mm, and 3mm. Do to medical research they only operate when they are 5 mm or more. So the first time was obviously the worst. The second time I had a 4.5mm, and a 1 mm. That time wasn't as bad as the first but still HURT LIKE HELL. I can't even begin to describe the pain they cause in it's entirety. Just imagine a small blade appearing suddenly in your kidneys and it starts to spin rapidly on multiple axis just causing unstoppable wanna kill myself pain. And because of the size they made me pass these fuckers! Forums and research that I read online says that they can pass with just drinking water. I would like to know how, if I can't even stand up and speak understandable words cause the pain is so terrible, how they expect me to get to the kitchen for a glass of water? I have made the necessary life changes that my doctor asked me to, no caffeine, no high salt food, stray from dairy, not all the time but hold back some. And I still seem to be getting this pain like they are coming. There are apparently imbalances and diseases that cause a person to have kidney stones often no matter what they do, but then why was I given such a shitty hand? I mean, this shit is REALLY terrible. My free medical was stopped when I turned 21 and right before that I saw my medical bill that thankfully I didn't have to pay for the last time I was in the hospital. If I get these damn things again I am going to owe somewhere close to 23,000 dollars. I COULD GET SOME COSMETIC SURGERY FOR LESS!!! And that was only for a 3 day stay! And if I had this desiease that causes frequent and unavoidable kidney stones, which can be found out from a simple blood test, why would the doctors not have done that the first, if not the second time? For being advanced they sure know how to fuck people over. I wish I had the money to eat let alone keep myself healthy. Just grrr, official grrr.
