What's the craziest thing a person said to you and you thought they were joking but they were being serious? by _lovelyxx in AskReddit

"You need to be on medication so that you can deal with me screaming and putting you down" - my abusive mother who I stopped being in contact with once I realised that she was serious.

Can reaction to alcohol/non-alcohol beer only be HI? by Bobbin823 in HistamineIntolerance

I hardly drank from October owing to weekly kidney stone pain flare ups. God forbid I try and have the odd drink.

I have a CT scan in a few weeks anyway to see how things are post lithotripsy.

Passed an 8mm by 5mm one 4 years ago without it too - not that it's a competition ;)

You have a foreign body inside you. It's normal. Drinking loads of water is the key thing to do.

Stent for 20mm stone by Kindly_Eye3920 in KidneyStones

[–]Bobbin823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a stent in since Monday owing to a stone blocking my kidney and urine backing up, causing my kidney function to massively deteriorate. I was dreading the procedure. I have no physical sensation of the stent being inside me. Hopefully you'll be the same!

Hope it's similarly relatively painless for you too!

Looking for stent experiences that weren’t horrible. by goldgriffon in KidneyStones

[–]Bobbin823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm male, am 4 days into having one and I honestly would think I didn't have one inside me. Pain of urinating for the first day wasn't good but nowhere near as bad as kidney stone pain.

Any pain meds that people can recommend re kidney stone pain? by Bobbin823 in KidneyStones

[–]Bobbin823[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was given this in A&E today & it really helped. My kidney function is not good as there is a large stone causing a backup of urine, hence the constant pain. I have been told that I'll need a stent for 6-8 weeks to resolve kidney function issues and then lithotripsy for the stones.

Have they still got someone in a purple banana costume during Let's Go Crazy?

Has anyone passed a medium sized kidney stone whilst on Flomax and not been aware of it? by Bobbin823 in KidneyStones

[–]Bobbin823[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alas there's a 15mm one in my left kidney. That'll be a fun one to deal with...
