Listen. I JUST had a kidney stone and it was worse than period cramps my dude person. My fellow human. Please please please pleeeeease. Drink straight water too. I do not wish that pain on ANYONE. Ever. It landed me sweaty, in ER, silently screaming and twisting in the bed, and hyperventilating. Like BamSara, please, be be be careful. I never hit a lvl 10 pain scale and I genuinely thought I was going to croak. I don’t wish that kind of PAIN on even my worst enemy. For real.

And I have health insurance but my bill was 2,300-ish $$

I’ve cut back on coffee and Dr Pepper… I’m also 32 so I dunno if age factors into that

I have both great and terrible news: I have already had kidney stones slkdhglksdhgsd

I had 8 of them, and one of them got stuck in the tract for a while. I thought it was P Cramps too and since it was late at night/early in the morning I decided to see if I could wait it out (plus also hospital is expensive) and so I ended up doubled on the floor, curled up and sobbing in pain near some of my own vomit completely unable to move

Finally went to the ER after 6 hours of agony and they were like 'why didnt you come earlier' and 'welp theres nothing we can really do outside of manage the damage and give you some strong painkillers and morphine'

But yeah anyone who's reading this don't be like me, kidney stones are very painful. Still drinking this cup tho
