Ok, about 5:30 I am in the kitchen putting up groceries and wham-I am doubled over in pain! Deja vous! 4-5 years ago I had a kidney stone and this is what it was like. Laid down took 2 muscle relaxers and started feeling better. 30 min later wham-- here it comes again!

Any suggestions on a plan of action? Any suggestions on what I shoul or should not eat? Are WLSers more prone to them??

Ahhh-- just another hiccup in the journey!!!

 OMG Meggie.....Kidney stones are the WORSE !!!!  I have one right now in my right kidney and dread the day that it decides to move.    I know that everytime I have gone to the ER with one I have left with pain meds and the little screen to catch the urine in.   I happen to have the kind of kidney stones that are way smaller than the screen.....so the only way that I know it has passed is the pain stops.   You might want to go to get checked out just to make sure that is what is happeneing and that you will be able to pass it.   Some are so large that they have to give medicines to dissolve them.   Good luck.   You will  be in my thoughts and prayers !!!


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Hey Roomie,

Kidney stones is my gig! lol Drink water and more water and cranberry juice (I buy the diet) if it does not get better in a few days you need to see the Dr cause sometimes they get stuck in the duct and can cause an infection. Prayers that you pass them on your own and quickly. Dr told me that some people are just prone to them and also thyroid can affect it. Who knows???

Your loved!

Lynnette
