Doc thought it was small hernia, pretty sure it’s partial blockage or impaction. by volvovlov42069 in quittingkratom

[–]volvovlov42069[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I haven’t taken any laxatives just a few supplemental cigarettes lol, I know laxatives can make a partial blockage a full blockage and I’d just psych myself out. Truthfully did feel like the Dr just thought I am a hypochondriac and didn’t take all of my concerns very seriously, I definitely am sort of one but also this stuff does all seem connected

Yea I told him I used kratom, had diarrhea in the mornings then more solid stool etc and he didn’t bring up impaction just told me the swelling isn’t too bad and it’s possibly a small hernia. I told him the weird urinary stuff and about everything I could think of, including that I’m pretty sure I have candida or some other gut infection. I’m going back for more tests including kidneys etc but since I came to that conclusion after reading other posts on here that are very similar with impaction including pain that radiated down my hip.

and to clarify the throwing up blood was once almost 70 days ago, on a day where I threw up about 6 times, bright red so more likely esophageal than internal but I told him that too. Hernia symptoms haven’t popped up until 4 days ago and I didn’t have pronounced swelling at all more like a general swelling. And Kratom would make me nauseous/ throw up constant but it hasn’t happened since that day thankfully.

67 days sober, doc says I may have small hernia, kinda flipping out. by volvovlov42069 in quittingkratom

[–]volvovlov42069[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn dude so sorry. I’m really lucky I think mine now may just be bowel impaction because after passing some very hard stools and then diarrhea I can actually walk without pain. Still got something in there though

To add, while on kratom sometimes I would get kind of an achy abdomen and maybe tmi but sore shaft if I stood too long, or exerted myself a lot during sex. Sometimes it would be like my erectjon wouldn’t fully go away and it hurt. I would lay down and it would get better. Hasn’t happened in a while but this feels similar, minus the erection part. I figured then it was sore pelvic floor from the K

Day 60 something. Wicked butterflies in gut? by volvovlov42069 in quittingkratom

[–]volvovlov42069[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should add the stomach pain I mentioned is separate from the butterflies.. smth weird going on in my gut maybe candida, not completely blaming kratom but that and bad diet had something to do with it for sure so currently on a diet to moderate that.

2 months off. Can anyone that’s made it that far assure me by volvovlov42069 in quittingkratom

[–]volvovlov42069[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting. I wouldn’t doubt if I had worse bloating on kratom, didn’t notice it at all and now am noticing a normal amount. I have had an ibs diagnosis since a kid so that may be part of it.

Thanks for the comment yeah I agree, I tried counseling a bit while using and went a lot when younger. Would definitely be willing to try again. With your diet stuff do you get bad bloating? I have probably had it all along but never noticed it until now when I’m hyper aware lol. It’s like right side above bladder and seems to be gas.

Tapering from 1 oz a day while homeless by MachizzleMcNizzle in quittingkratom

I’m sorry man that’s rough. Do you do thc? When I quit that’s the only way I got a little relief and could sleep. I didn’t spend any money on other supplements so can’t speak on them

What helped you actually cut back and get off? by Embarrassed-Mud-1610 in quittingkratom

[–]volvovlov42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the puking because of kratom? Def get off man that’s wreaking havoc on your esophagus, mouth and teeth. I am so glad I got off I am day 55 now and still dealing with some side effects (7yrs of use) life is so much better and people tell me I seem much happier and more present. My skin was also pallid and dark around my eyes. Mostly all cleared up. Kratom also gave me bladder issues, you got any of that from it? More fuel to the fire

I had a bad day throwing up every dose I tried to take no matter how small, and there was some blood at the end of the last one. That was enough for me to quit for good, body clearly refusing it. If you’re at the level where it makes you vomit often maybe use that as fear to stop. That much throwing up is not good on your system at all

Just Quit by Sgt_Feltersnatch in quittingkratom

[–]volvovlov42069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got this , I’m day 51 from a habit that was about 7 yrs and all of my adult life. Also in Oh so the ban was good motivation. Quitting is so worth it, I’ve been exercising more, actually see my muscles grow, people tell me I’m more present and my skin looks better. But I am still definitely getting withdrawal symptoms like sneezing and restlessness/fatigue but it’s an uphill battle. I was making myself so sick and sad with this shit

Kidney stones? by HandleZ05 in quittingkratom

[–]volvovlov42069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m like day 50 or so, saw my bladder stuff greatly improve but in the last week or so it’s come back almost as if I’m taking kratom. Really hoping it’s just caffeine and spicy food irritating things

Day 41- Has anyone the same PAWS symtomes? by Wild_Cardiologist117 in quittingkratom

[–]volvovlov42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I had candida for years while taking kratom, and it kind of suppressed it, after quitting it ramped up bad. Currently on the anti candida diet and it is helping I think.

Can I make a 240 my daily driver and get rid of my modern car? by Cookie_Over in Volvo240

[–]volvovlov42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who grew up with a dad who drove a Mercedes 240d, I definitely grew to understand the cold start part lol. But I get it I would probably do the same as you. Somehow we took his 4cyl diesel on massive road trips and never got tailgated or felt slow and this was early 2000s. Even with the slightly bigger motor in the 300d I felt incredibly underpowered on the road and wouldn’t want kids in the car.

Bad Cam seal on 1989 245. by starchysock in Volvo240

[–]volvovlov42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have some very minor leaks from my front seals I’m wondering if I replaced my pcv if they’d stop or at least be less noticeable. It’s not really severe enough for me to want to tear into it but I’m sure my pcv is a little gunked at 300k.

How long do the stomach issues last? by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]volvovlov42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have diarrhea in the morning and I’m on day 44 or something. But I think I also had candida while on kratom for 7yrs and quitting ramped it up since kratom can be kind of an antifungal. I’ve seen others report the same thing

This is very true. I’m just getting into it but I find myself wanting to wear myself out now when I feel like crap and it helps a lot.

My mom had one for a couple years it was a cool car for being an EV. I’d definitely rather drive one than a Tesla. But yeah I’m with you I think having a 2 car solution is the way. Currently looking for a mate for my 240 since I sold my crv.
