Thanks for all the advice and comments.

Dang, I am sorry that you had to go through the pain with that!! 2 weeks ago my younger sister woke up in excruciating pain and ended up passing out because the pain was so bad. Her DH took her to the ER and she was diagnosed with an Appendix about to rupture, a cyst on her ovary that had ruptured and was bleeding and kidney stones in both of her kidneys, all at the same time. She was rushed into surgery and had her appendix removed, the bleeding stopped, and then they gave her medicine to help with the Kidney Stones. She said the pain was beyond anything she every could even imagine feeling. Worse than giving birth natural.

I hope you are feeling better soon.

YEOUCH! Sorry for your pain, it's gotta be about the worst on the planet. English chick has the right idea, flush with ACV. The acidity helps break up those nasty deposits and if you're really brave, add a bit of olive oil and lemon juice. Your gallbladder and kidneys will thank you. Personally, the beer is better on the kidneys than the vodka, but your chemistry may be different than mine. Thank heaven my UTI days are over- I lived on cranberry juice and water for most of my college career. Good luck and hope you don't have any more of that!

Been there, done that, got the hospital bill.

My wife's had kidney stones twice... she's had 5 of the 7 children like Sarah in the wilderness with no meds or anesthetic of any kind and says she'd rather have five more babies rather than go through the pain of a kidney stone.

i've passed 4 in my lifetime and I can remember with clarity EACH and EVERY ONE!

You need lots and lots of DISTILLED WATER.
Tap water does me in... especially here in Phoenix.

Also, an FYI, Metamucil will cause kidney stones.
