Archive for the ‘ Kidney Stone Pictures ’ Category

My Dad’s GF is a narcissistic drug addict with no personality. She’s passive aggressive, makes veiled insults, huffs, puffs and pouts around my house when she doesn’t get her way, or when she’s not the center of attention.

For instance, last time they were here, I lit a candle. When I walked 10 feet away, she said to my dad "eeew that candle is gross, get it away from me". Also when my fat, lazy cat who sleep all day sat on the couch, she pulled away and said "get it away", when the cat didn’t do anything but sit.

Its like dealing with a 15 year old girl- the woman is over 50.

She also is addicted to pain killers– her head and eyes roll around all the time. She does have colitis and kidney stones, but she drinks NO water, and only will eat bread and pasta. Its like she gives herself the colitis so she can get the pain pills. I think she uses her disease to hide the real problems.

She is fixated with her looks She constantly reminds everyone that she weighs 100 pounds and is a size 2. Once my Dad and husband were talking about how annoying seat belt alarms in new cars are, and she interrupted them to say "I’m so light, I don’t even set off the seat belt alarm."

She spends over an hour putting make up on, and it comes out looking like it was applied with a paint roller.
She asks me constantly to take pictures of her, and asks to retake them if she doesn’t like them.

She looks over every plate of food I eat and makes comments like "wow, you really pigged out" and "You’re not really going to eat ALL that, are you?" (I’m 120lbs and healthy).

She also tells me stuff and says "don’t tell your dad I told you" or calls and says not to tell Dad I called.
She is disingenuous. Everything my husband or I do, she says "I do that, too" or "I like that, too".
Even worse she tries to relate us to her kids, who are a decade our juniors and not like us at all (one is a drug addict, the other a teenager). It is annoying and insulting.

She’s also dumb as a bag of rocks. She is unable to engage in any conversation that isn’t about her kids, her colitis, drugs or her weight/looks.

The worst is that she says inappropriate things to me about my family.
She told me the only reason my parents got married was because my mother was pregnant with me.
She told me I should have been her child, which is kinda creepy (Dad dated her in High School)
She offered to stand in place of my mother at my wedding. So, instead of a wedding, I eloped this summer with NO family at all.

So now dad wants to visit again (I haven’t seen any family in a year). This woman causes me too much stress and anxiety- I don’t want her in my house. How can I tell my dad I don’t want him to visit w/o hurting his feelings or lying?
Rock- I agree. This I why I want to find I way to avoid their visit w/o telling my dad or hurting his feelings.
Danika- Unfortunately they live 3000 miles away, so its a week-long trip on a plane. I haven’t seen any family in a year- no day trips or anything like that is possible.
Kimi- I am sure my dad would understand, but not without being hurt. And, what Rock said. This woman will turn on someone in a second & make life miserable.
Lona- Thank you, but I should add, I have not seen my real mother in 3 years. She was an abusive borderline. That’s part of what makes this so frightening- Dad’s GF’s behavior is extremely similar to my mother’s manipulations and entitlement. I do think my dad is somewhat clueless, or in denial, because he’s been alone for so long.

The wedding thing was my siblings would not have shown up if I didn’t invite my real mother. I was engaged before this woman came into the picture. The GF not only offered to stand in as my mother, but she also suggested I cut my brother & sister out of my life. For real. It was ‘the straw that broke the camel’s back’ for elopement.

Nash- LOL, my husband asked me if they could stay at a hotel!!

I don’t have a close relationship with my dad. Never have. I do visit home once per year for a week.
All my uncles and cousins are suspicious of her, too- its not just me.

I haven’t seen my real mother in 3 years- she was an abusive mother (borderline), and we have a tremulous relationship today.

I can see the problems in this lady- she is like my mother in manipulation behavior and entitlement. The difference is, this lady thinks she’s the Best, while my mother hates herself. Similar behavior, different origin.

I think my dad truly is blind… they say men never learn.

I’m a hgh school freshman and I had an english presentation for my honors english class today.

The assignment was to make a slideshow about a country in Europe, we chose Italy. I worked with my twin brother, and 2 other friends on it.

We all worked really hard and went all out. We not only made a slideshow, but made business cards, Italian suagr cookies, had four mini picture slideshow stations all around the room, and dressed in blue shirt and khakis to look like a professional travel company!

I was the first one to present. We presented right after lunch. At lunch, I didn’t feel good; I took 2 bites of my pizza burger (burger w/tomato sauce) and felt sick to my stomach. But I wanted to do my presentation, so even though I had major cramps and felt like I was going to throw up, I went.

I started the presentation okay, then started stumbling over my words. I like to laugh, so I started to giggle and stutter some more. I was in so much pain I couldn’t even remember wat I was supposed to say. Everyone’s looking at me funny, and I just stop presenting, and ask the teacher if I can go to the nurse.

This isn’t the first time I’ve had stomach and back pain, but it was the most painful.

It turns out I have kidney stones and a weak back that I need physical therapy for.

I felt so embarrassed having to stop my presentation today, and letting my group down. They said it was okay, but I still feel like a fool in front of the class.

I usually love to present in front of the class! I even do extra credit presentations, so they know I’m not afraid of people.

As soon as I left the room, my twin brother picked up my part and continued one like nothing happened.

So, do you think this is embarrassing? What would you think if someone did this?

I would not have time to list all of the bad luck that has encompassed me over the past nearly 3 years so I will just give you the jist.

Prior to my string of bad luck, I was on top of the world, so it seemed. My husband and I had been trying for a baby for a couple of years, and we finally achieved the pregnancy, and in that time, a lot of great things were coming our way. Great finances, wonderful times with family, my older children from my first marriage were doing great, we were all in wonderful health, and so many other things that simply is not so right now.

We had our little girl and life was near bliss until she turned 7 months old and one morning, I woke up to find her not breathing and blue. Called 9-1-1 and turned out she was having a seizure. Fast forward to a couple of weeks and she had so many, that she almost lost her lost and ended up in the hospital for weeks, intubated twice. Over that time, from November 1st 2007 until present day, up to this very moment, I do not feel like I have felt a semblance of peace.

Her seizures still continue to happen, and has been hospitalized a lot since. She averages now 2-3 times a year in the hospital and is developmentally delayed due to her condition.

We were blessed to get pregnant again and all we did was hope and pray for a healthy baby, but when we was born, we almost lost him as he was born with a rare but life threatening condition which required him a hospital stay for the first month of his life. He is doing well (but I still feel so jipped he was so sick I could not hold him till he was almost two weeks old and was in the hospital the first month of his life) now, but I do somehow feel like we were really cursed with not only the bad health of our babies, but here’s some other things that have happened all starting in that time in 2007;

Husband’s job loss, and very bad financial strain, resulting from other very bad things happening from lack of money.

Got taken to court by my ex who walked out on our son before he was born, for parental rights and caused emotional turmoil to my son who was 12 and never knew this man. Actually our WHOLE family suffered as his siblings miss him when he has to go off with this man, they’re close and treasure their time together.The courts granted him rights to him against the boy’s will and he now is forced to spend time with him which cuts into the time he has with the only dad he has ever known. In the process, I had bad lawyer harassment from this man’s lawyer until we finally got our own, which the man who raised him as his son and gave him his name paid for.

I lost two pregnancies in this time which I really wanted while so many others around me were having healthy babies and pregnancies.

I had bad health with kidney stones. Hospitalized four times in 2008 for them, and had two surgeries in that time which left me with huge medical bills I am still paying down. In one of those hospital days that resulted in surgery, my daughter had a seizure relapse after I prayed with all my might she wouldn’t while i was sick and unable to take care of her. I had to leave the hospital early and in pain to be with her at her hospital stay. I literally went from my hospital to hers in so much pain.

My 16 year old son got in trouble from being caught smoking marijuana and now ‘the powers that be’ (government people to be exact) made him go into this program and these people breathe down our necks and watch our every move. Nobody else in our family smokes this or even drinks, but we are put under constant scrutiny for his mistake.

My license from out of state expired and I have gotten, twice, literally so close to getting my license that I passed the tests, they took my picture and money for it, literally to have them stop and void it all because at the last minute, they discover a ‘missing’ document which is usually something that takes weeks to get in the mail. In the meantime I can’t drive which creates a ton of problems and inconviences.

I have had major relationship issues with my mother. We didn’t get along great over the years, but it has gotten to where we don’t speak for months at a time. I have also had bad blood with other family members, at the height of both my baby’s illnesses when I need help and support most.

I could go on and on and on, but these are the highlights, and every single day, there is always something that happens that makes some course of the day very hard, and I mostly never get any good sleep as I am up plagued with stress and worry.

I just want to know if it is somehow a curse, and how to get some peace as each day, I feel tortured.

We live in Hawaii. My husband was seen at the ER August 14th because he couldnt urinate or pass bowels. They did bloodwork on him & gave him pain meds, was going to send him home. When I inquired about the cause, he told us that "if you want, I can send you to the other ER & they can do a CT scan, but you’re going to have to wait long time".

At the 2nd ER, the dr examined my husbands penis & balls. He told us all the bloodwork came back normal & was about to send us home. I insisted that we came there for a CT scan. SO, they finally gave him a CT scan & found a kidney stone & a what appears to be a rectal mass. The dr & nurse explained that sometimes stuff shows up on a CT scan that isnt actually there so he could have cancer, but it could be nothing,& make sure he follows up w/his regular dr & see a specialist. After we informed the dr that my husband didnt have a regular dr established, he recommended us to a dr, who we thought was going to be a specialist. When we called to get an appointment, we discovered that it was an internal medicine dr & to see him, we would have to change our PCP to that dr who is 25 miles away from us. So since that dr wasnt a specialist, we opted to see a PCP that is closer to us, so that whenever my husband needed to see the PCP, it was close (we have QUEST HMSA medical insurance & no cash since my husband is out of work).

We went to Waianae Coast Comprehensive Center & seen DR. LIAO. Worst experience EVER. We could barely understand anything he said when he asked us what ER we went to & what he was seeing my husband for, told my husband he had to lotion & lose weight, then without looking at his paperwork from the ER that I gave him, he left the room. Then the nurse came in & told us to come back in a month for recheck. When I asked the nurse why in one month, she said for recheck. I told her the dr didnt look at his paperwork & explained my husband was in alot of pain & needed to see the specialist right away. She asked me what type of insurance we had & when I told her Quest, she made a face and told me thats why we had to wait a long time. SO naturally my voice raised when I insisted they refer my husband to a specialist immediately & thats when the dr started yelling at us from another examining room to go see another Dr if you dont like it!

We then had to find another PCP. He referred us out to a specialist. We drove there & my husband said that the specialist came in & told my husband that our dr referred him to the wrong specialist, & wrote down information for the urologist. He did not even look at the image of the CT scan or examine my husband. 3 days later, my husband passed a BM with lots of bright red blood. I took him to his Dr & he immediately send us to the emergency room (another different one, not the 1st 2 that we went to). At the emergency room, they gave him pain medication, took a urine sample, & informed us that there was nothing about a rectal mass in my husbands record from the ER. They gave him instructions to follow up w/his PCP & the urologist for his kidney stones and did not examine him or get a sample of his stool. When I asked about what we should do about the rectal mass, they said I dont know. Its weird and confusing because it doesnt say anything about a rectal mass in his report. BUT HE HAS BLOOD IN HIS STOOL! We were then told it could just be from a hemmoroid. Physically & emotionally exhausted & defeated, we went home.

We went back to my husbands PCP the next morning & explained everything that happened w/the specialist & the ER, & the Dr shook his head & then told us to follow up w/the urologist & see if the urologist. When I asked about the rectal mass, they said the urologist can help us because shes a urologist.

I called the ER that told us about the rectal mass & explained everything and they said they cant discuss anything over the phone, but EVERYTHING should be in the report. They wouldnt let me talk to the dr because they said that he couldnt discuss patient info over the phone. They wouldnt tell me his schedule either. I called our medical insurance & they told me to follow up w/the PCP or change PCPs or get a 2nd opinion. We did but because the possible rectal mass is not noted in the report, no one has examined him.

My husbands TDI is pending & no savings. I need to complete a 3 wk class in order to get assistance. BUT I have no cash, bus pass, or gas or family to help. I called the welfare worker & explained our situation & she said there is no way around it, I have to comply w/the class 1st. So I have no childcare & no $ or transportation. We used the pay from my husbands last check to pay our rent & put gas in the car. Now its gone. My phones going to get turned off soon along w/my internet. So then, I wont even be able to call or email!

I dont know what to do about anything. Any positive, educational answers would be greatly appreciated. Please no personal rude comments. I have enough

I had a severe pain in the location in the picture. It was a severe sharp [lasted 2 seconds or less marked BLACK] Could this have been a Kidney Stone or what? I’m really worried as I’ve been having nausea, abdominal pain, headaches marked RED symptoms of something which I thought to have been Indigestion lasting over a couple of weeks. I’ve been to the MEC and the E.R. [they took my blood and did a physical on me] but I still think it’s something urgent. My parents have given up on me and think i’m just freaking out over nothing because it costs them money EVEN THOUGH we have health insurance. Is this something I should worry about? I’m a healthy individual and just stopped smoking cigarettes about 9 days ago and haven’t used alcohol for about 3 weeks.

Also, it looks like my stool is a yellowish-brown.
But I also ate a lot of carrots. >_>

In my opinion Jerry Lawler was one of the funniest commentators when he was a heel… Here’s some of his funniest quotes:

(About Sunny) "She’s as pretty as a picture…and quite a frame too."

"C’mom McMahon. If someone kept telling how awesome, fast, and how good your are, your head would get so big that your toupee would not be able to fit on it."

(about Razor Ramon) "I’ll bet every time he gets in his car, the oil light comes on."

"Being a 3-time Intercontinental champion doesn’t make you a great wrestler, just like Larry King having 9 wives don’t make him a great husband."

(about Henry Godwinn) "He needs a sign in his mouth that says ‘Next Tooth One Mile’."

"Henry Godwin has got so many missing teeth, it looks like his tongue is in jail. "

"Who cares about Jim Ross, anyway? He’ll never run for president. All he’ll run for is lunch."

(about Ahmed Johnson) "He used to hold his report card over his head trying to raise his grades."
"when you graduated from kindergarten, you were so excited that you could hardly shave without cutting yourself."

"I heard a rumor that Ahmed Johnson needed a kidney transplant, and Jake "The Snake" was the donor, Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! "

"I don ‘t want to get Dink mad, he might punch me in the ankle, Ha! Ha! Ha! "

"The only reason why Aldo Montoya beat me was because he has been hanging around Jake "The Snake" Roberts and has been carrying around those intoxicating fumes from Jake. "

"Tonight on RAW, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin battles Jake "The Drunk" Roberts."

"Look at Jake, he’s missing his shirt. He probably sold it for a shot."

"Look at these two, look at her face! You see, it’s girls like you that turn men into… well, you know, people like Goldust."

"If Vader drops the Vader Bomb on Razor Ramon, a huge grease spot will be left on the ring. "

These are just a few, can anybody else think of more?

Last October (a little over a year ago) I had a 6mm kidney stone lodged in my ureter. I ended up getting ecoli in my blood and my kidney was filled with pus.

I am on here today because I am having back pain. Have been for weeks now. It’s a deep pain just above my hips. I can pin point it but it’s deep. My stomach hurts deep in the same spot and I have been having "hunger pains". I have no clue what that is. I had gas earlier and it made me nausous to let it out. It actually felt good for my husband to hit me in the back. Although, I love a good massage so I may have trained myself to feel pain as being a good thing at this point. I had him hitting my back last time I got a kidney infection. This time, may or may not be one, it’s back pain, side pain and stomach pain. I am very tender and I swear, I can feel it all the way down to the groin area.

At this moment it feel almost like a gas pain under the front of my ribs. I have a burning, stinging pain down to the right of my belly button halway between my rips and hips. My back hurts really deep just about even with the top of the back of my pelvic bones. But it’s deep in there and more twords the outer edge of the muscles surrounding my spine. To pinpoint the pain I have to push in deep from the side, kinda at an angle. When I was standing in my bathroom, I pushed on my stomach and it caused the back pain to act up worse. A moment ago I had a stinging kind of groin pain as I lay here, but that could be the prolapses.

Lately I have been having these hunger pains after eating. At times it almost feels as if my stomach is eating away at itself. And I have been having tons of gas like pains, although, not always with gas. And I have had chest pains mostly on the left side, kinda gas like. The back pain is on the right as well as the low pain. It kinda feel like something is sitting between the hip and ribs. Like when I was pregnant. I just feel full. No, I am not pregnant.

I am on Daily Aspirin. I have been for 8 months to a year. I am 28 years old with Fibromyalgia, a prolapsed bladder, uterus and rectum. I have had right hip pain for 8 years, although this is not that pain.

Last time my urine smelled rancid. It does not smell yet.

3 months ago I went to the ER a few times and there was blood in my urine and crystals. They did imaging and there were no stones. I went to the ER mostly due to fear. It was 1 year from my last stone.

What is this? Is it a stone? Is it the aspirin eating my stomach?

Oh, and I have no fever that I know of.

I also suffer from Fibromyalgia and a prolapsed bladder, uterus and rectum. And I keep having gas like pains and chest pains. It just feels like there is something in there. In my body. Something that doesn’t belong. It almost reminds me of when I was pregnant and the baby got her feet over there where my ribs are. But I am not pregnant.

I went for a physical 2 weeks ago, woke up the following Monday with severe abdominal pain, pain in left side, pain in between breast, pain in back and neck and trouble urinating. Went back to doctor, urine test showed blood in urine, was told I had a stone moving and ultra sound scheduled. I have had kidney stones in past and it did feel like that, but some of the other symptoms were knew to me. Could also not have a bowel movement. Was put on Nexium, and given pain pills. Went for ultra sound two days later. Results showed an 8mm stone and cysts on ovary, pain in chest was better and assumed that the Nexium was helping, but advised to see a Gastro doc. Still no bowel movement, drinking Prune juice, taking stool softners and High Fiber drink. Doc ordered CT scan to get better picture of stone and ovary, went for that test this past Wednesday, doctor has called to tell me no stone was found, cysts on ovaries and OB appt made, but said they have found a aorta Thrombosis in wall and I would need removed and they are getting me an appt with Vascular Surgeon. Question 1 how did that show up on a stomach CT scan? Question 2 I do have a 60% blockage in my aorta diagnosed 2 years ago, so before they do surgery wouldn’t they want to check to make sure I have no other blockages as I have stents in my legs and have been having trouble walking again? Still no idea why I am having trouble urinating and why in 14 days only one bowel movement.

hello, i just arrived home from the ER due to excruciating lower back pain which has been going on for almost a month now. I can’t even work b/c of the pain. Well, the first visit they diagnosed me with a kidney stone, they did a CT Scan, and supposedly I had it. I went 3 days later b/c the pain was unbearable, and again they did a CT scan and diagnosed me with a kidney stone… sent me home with narcotics. now today almost 3 weeks after my last ER visit I went b/c of the pain. It’s too much. The doctor came up to me saying. I took care of you last time you were here. WRONG!!! I’ve never seen this Dr. the last Dr who took care of me was a woman. He asked what was my problem and I explained the whole ordeal. He said the only thing I can do is give you a pain killer intravenous and send you home, I saw your CT Scan and you never had a kidney stone!!!!
I got so mad… I told him, no no no no!!! I want this resolved already I have been with out work for over a month and I was diagnosed with a kidney stone. He stated there was no kidney stone. he did not even bother to check me you know what Dr.s usually do. Not even bother for another CT Scan and check what is the cause of the pain…NOTHING… they injected me with a super strong pain killer, which took a little of the pain away, but I still felt it…
the DR. never came back, and they discharged me with Motrin to take home LMAOL. I don’t like narcotics, but I have been taking percocet once a day at night to help me through the night b/c of the pain… if percocet is not doing any thing why even bother with Motrin?? Any ways getting back to the subject. I feel I have been misdiagnosed and under medical malpractice. Very unprofessional DR or DRS. Could I sue them for this?? I have all the paper work from my last 2 visits plus this one, also I have requested for all my documents including ct scan images which i will pick up tomorrow…
please let me know what you think. I have little knowledge about this, I have never sued any one in my life…
thanks Nicky

The website jieshibaobao.com (children that developed kidney stones) was established to allow parents of victims to communicate with one another and post pictures of their children and the ordeal they endured. The website posted images of the children’s suffering and has become an advocate group for compensation. This website was constantly attacked by the Chinese patriotic hackers (50 centers?)

http://www.thedarkvisitor.com/2009/01/patriotic-chinese-hackers-attack-website-of-melamine-poisoned-children/

Did the CCP despots directed the patriotic hackers to suppress the voice of victims?

FINDINGS:The Extrahepatic bile ducts are mildly dilated for the patients age,with the common hepatic duct measuring up to 9mm on a series 10 image 9.

*There is also mild prominence of the central intrahepatic duct. No intraductal filling defects are seen. The pancreatic duct is non-dilated and pancreatic duct is nondilated and the pancreatic ductal anatomy appears classic.

*There is a duodenal diverticulum seen just anterior to the to the distal common bile duct adjacent to the pancreatic head. The gallbladder is normal in appearance with no gallbladder stones seen.

*In the inferior right hepatic lobe is am 8mm T2 hyper intense lesion which is not fully characterized best seen on the M.R.C.P. images,

*tiny foci of markedly bright T2 signal likely representing hepatic cysts seen in the liver dome,lateral left hepatic lobe,and in the more inferior left hepatic lobe. These measure 3 to 4 mm in diameter. No focal pancreatic lesions are seen on this non contrast study.

*The spleen, adrenal glands, and kidneys are normal. There is a rectus diastasis and evidence of a prior mid-line surgical incision with probable mesh repair, not fully imaged.

*Abdominal wall incisional hernia with complete rectus diastasis with significant progression in comparison with prior CT study done on 3/7/2011

IMPRESSION:
1) Mild biliary ductal of unclear etiology. No evidence of choledocholithiasis or

cholecystics. Suggest correlation with liver function studies.
2) Duodenal diverticulum seen just anterior to the to the distal common bile duct adjacent to the pancreatic head.
3) nonspecific T2 hyperintense lesion in the inferior right hepatic lobe. The absence of any history of malignancy. this is likely to represent a hemangioma. Several tiny hepatic cysts are incidentally noted.
4) Rectus diastasis with the probable prior mesh repair of the anterior abdominal wall. hernia also present

I am 21 years old and have had medical issues in the past couple of years,mainly concerning my digestive tract.I cannot go to the bathroom without laxatives.I have tried water,higher liquid intake,muesli with honey,oatmeal,raw vegetables,soups,probiotics,prebiotics and about 30 grams of fiber powder a day,flaxseed oil supplements,castor oil,rose jam,you name it but it all fails to work as i have been laxative-dependant for about a year.I take senna supplements and senna tea along with stronger laxatives and i gradually came to increase the dosage and i know it could lead to some long term damage to my internal organs.I used to never struggle with constipation but a year ago my doctor said that my gallbladder is not producing enough bile and that’s the root of my problem.I also want to mention that about year and 7 months ago i had gall stones and had them removed.I was also diagnosed with chronic cholecystitis last summer when i was overseas and had done a lot of medical exams but i had no gall stones present.They also ran a blood picture and told me i have increased white cell count,high liver enzymes(given i do not consume alcohol),and was told i had an enlarged liver and spleen,it was seen on a CAT scan(i do not drink or take drugs and haven’t in the past and i have stopped taking acetaminophen on a daily basis since it can damage the liver),i was also told i have IBS when they performed endoscopy(over the summer last year) but i just recently(about two weeks ago) actually ended up in the emergency room and they told me they were concerned i might have a colon cancer and i need a colonoscopy done and i was debating should i do it since i saw a gastroenterologist overseas 8 months ago and was told i did not have stomach cancer because i don’t think it’s possible to develop a cancer condition in such a short period of time and i figured i would turn to someone competent in this field such as yourself.I also have unexplained anemia(i do have iron deficiency but was told my anemia is not due to it) and hemophilia runs in my family so i was wondering would it be possible for me to have hemolytic anemia,i also have kidney stones but my kidneys are functioning correctly,i am just mentioning all my conditiones and medical history because of intense connection between internal organs,i have also been told i have some pancreas and menstrual irregularities(i usually get my period about once a year or so,sometimes it’s once every two years but since i started taking contraceptives it’s been more regular,but i also told i have amenorrhea),i also was diagnosed with hiatal hernia,scoliosis and migraines.I also have anxiety that’s taken a control of my life,rosacea and chronic rash and hives.Each time they give me steroids but this makes me nervous and paranoid because it releases cortisol and since i have had anxiety for years my body has already released too much cortisol on a daily basis and i figured it would contribute to me feeling fatigue.I also have a peptic ulcer and i think that about sums it up.I have learned to deal with the majority of my symptoms and discomfort but what i am really interested in is how could i regulate my digestive tract again and prevent my body from further discomfort and complications.I also have had blood in my stools occasionaly but not every day for the past couple of months and actually was recently told that about 80 percent of our immune system is actually located in the gut so i figured that’s what i should focus on.I apologize for mentioning all those additional conditions and disorders,i just figured that all internal organs are connected.Thank you in advance for your attention and time.

I’ve had electronic imaging about 5 years back after I’d had a kidney stone, and I was told something to the affect of that I had alot of small little stones that could potentially become kidney stones, and they asked me if I wanted to have them blasted out. I said no, and then they never ended up becoming kidney stones, PROBLEM JUST WENT AWAY ON IT’S OWN, I GUESS?

Well, now, I had a kidney stone finally a few weeks ago. And now they want to send me to electronic imaging again.

My question is this…

1. Do I just have a whole lot of little kidney stones there all the time, and then just every few years it becomes big enough that I actually pass one?

2. Does everybody have little deposits at all times that can be seen in electronic imaging?

any info is appreciated

I used to live in North carolina and when I lived there I had two cats Mooch And fritz. Mooch was all black male and about 2 years old. Fritz looked like my avatar picture but skinny and about two years old too. Then fritz one day ran away, and mooch later died of a kidney stone. I moved back to New jersy where I am now and my mom bought two cats for me they looked exactly like mooch and fritz exept babies. It was so weird I named them Bob and Sparta. Bob reminds me alot like someone but I don’t know who? Its like he is reincarnated or something its weird. Do you know what this means??

Ok this WIll be kind of long but i will try to keep it as short as i can. i have had some health issues for almost 3 years. before this time i was a very healthy and athletic person. i worked as a Mechanic 10 hours a day six days a Week. and i did heavy work. i was an engine specialist. anyways. this health problem has still Not been identified. because it always has new symptoms. the doctors i see are only focused on the part of it that they know and not the whole picture. the symptoms change as time goes on. all of this is related to bare with Me. My first health problems started 3 and a half years ago. My first problems were gastrointestinal problems. every time i would eat i would get this sudden squeezing pressure in My tummy it would make Me dizzy. it made Me feel like i was going to puke and mess Myself all at the same time. this happened every meal. it would only last a few seconds. then i was just fine. after i would stand up to leave the restaurant. i would with in 20 seconds start to gag and dry heave. every single time. Me getting up and moving around would trigger it every time after every meal. i never had heart burn in My life. or anything. it was just a problem. i would dry heave and almost throw up immediately after every meal. this lasted 6 months. next i started getting crackling sounds in My rib joints. if i were to breath deep it would sound almost like fluid rushing in the muscle. that stayed the same for months. next i got kidney stones. one after the other non stop still to this day. i have had a er visit for a stone every 6 months for almost three years. after this started. i would get these sudden intense dizzy spells. the kind ware i would be walking in a straight line and form no ware just start walking of to the right or stumbling and walking into a circle. this whole time i was still trying to walk straight. when this would happen i would get a tight feeling and breathless feeling in My chest. this only happened 4 times in a 3 month period. never happened again. all My symptoms stays static for almost a year. then i started having moments of extreme fatigue and weakness. to the point i was to weak to stand. i would drool on My self i was so weak. this would last for hours. then at the end of they day i would vomit like hell. and suddenly afterwards all My energy and came back and i felt great. this would happen about 3 days a week. i couldn’t do My job it was so bad. then one day i stood up to fast. and when i did My heat gave Me three hard painful beats in a row. it felt like My chest was being punched from the inside. and i felt like i was being strangle. pressure built in My head i started to black out. after this My heart rate slowly started to climb 20 mins later it was up over 200 bpm. blood pressure also sky high. they called 911. i was pale and clammy. the strangest thing about that is. the second they set an iv the second they flush it with the saline. all My symptoms suddenly stop and i feel fine. however if i am hooked up to a saline drip no matter if i had symptoms before or not. you hook Me up. in 3 mins. i get pale. My legs feel like bricks i cant breath and My heart gets super slow. and My tongue goes numb and i become incoherent. happens every time i get an iv. and no its not anxiety. i don’t mind needles. and when i am having symptoms a small squirt of saline solution just to flush the iv cures My symptoms. the strange thing is when they push fluid in My arm i hear crackling sounds and it feels like cold fluid is rushing into My ear on that same side. its very strange. doctors have not been able to explain this. the last day i was at work. i swore it was a heart attack but the medics said no. i started to feel hot. sweaty and increasingly weak. after about 30 mins i finally just collapsed. My heart rate after my legs turned into noodles. it shot up over 300. just like always as soon as medics hit Me with a single syringe of saline. boom im cured. weird huh? i developed pots syndrome about 3 months after this event. it was bad enough i could not get out of bed. the moment i would stand up MY heart rate and bp both would get sky high and i would get so breathless immediately upon standing i had to lay right back down. today i am better i can move around. but that last day at work. that same event will happen if i am on My feet for to long. id say 2 hours i am down. i also get very hot when its cold. a cold draft in the room i start burning up. i also cant tolerate heat anymore either. the shop was 113 degrees all summer long no issue. now if i go above 70F i am so hot i am about to faint. as of today My chest cracks and pops worse than it ever has. i cant sleep. i gained 40 pounds. and i get a headache after every meal. i almost pass out when i lay down. not when i stand up. i have had a laundry list of test. nothing has ever been found out of place. so you tell Me. what in the hell could this be?

since febuary, ive been having lower back pain on my sides only
we thought it was my birth control, so we switched brands
that didnt help, we went to 3 doctors that said it was just a pulled muscle, im active but not that active, they gave me perscription advil of 600 mg, that did nothing
another doctor told me yoga, i tried, made it worse
one said PMDD, gave me naproxin/naproxen, it helped the first 2 times i took it
then stopped
i started taking 2 tylenol every chance i could, i helped for about 3 months, then stopped
my weight has been 159 for the past 5 years, which is normal, my weight isnt the problem
my mom refuses to take me to the doctor because "its just from being lazy"
i do just as much as she does, if not more
i got fired from my job a month ago, and dont have any money to take myself to the doctor
im tired of crying myself to sleep after rolling around for an hour trying to find a comfortable postition that doesnt cause pain
i cant even sit at a chair for more then an 10 minutes without pain striking up my back
resting doesnt help, moving doesnt help
it doesnt hurt more when pressed or more when i bend over
it just constantly hurts
ive been tested for infections and kidney failure
nothing showed up
ive been tested for kidney stones
negative
its not painful to pee either, though, i doubt this has to do anything with it, ive been really swollen for the past few weeks down there

just recently, it started to hurt when i breath in deep
and just tonight, it started to hurt on my lower left back, everytime i stepped with my right foot
and im swollen down there again, and i have that itchy burny feeling after i pee

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb30/Koralle_german/ist2_8373373-human-back.jpg

the key for the picture is
red-the constant pressure
green-where it stings when i step
yellow, the area where the pain grows
purple- the area it hurts when i breath in deep
and 90% of the time i stand, i feel like my knees are going to give out and im going to collapse

My dad’s gf has been living with him, along with her 3 yr old son. her boy isnt there all the time, but most of the time. shes a senior in college, so shes quite a bit younger than he is and she looks good! I know she loves my dad though, but her behavior indicates that she hasnt grown up yet, at 24 and having one child, she acts like shes 17. shes always out partying and drinking. I’m really not sure why a young woman that looks like her wants a man thats twice her age and has a full beard, but they seem to get along quite well and im sure the sex is amazing. his health is good, he just gets kidney stones every now and then and then has to pass them. he also suffers from BPH with his prostate and had a gallstone removed. He passes stones every year, so he’s always drinking liquids and peeing. i know that she does want to have another baby once she graduates at the end of the summer. my dad is willing to have a baby with her, even though he doesnt need anymore kids, but most men wouldnt turn her down! he thinks a baby will settle her down a bit. i guess its possible. they do love each other and i believe that she could be my stepmom at some point. there is a good picture of them kissing on her facebook with their arms around one another. a good pic!
