    I have gotten kidney stones frequently since 2006

    Cut out tea, nuts, potatoes, chocolate, whole grains, carrots, spinach, and everything else. Keep my sodium around 1500mg/day

    I still form them prolifically

    I had a 2cm stone back in March that they tried blasting and ended up getting chunks of the stone stuck between the stent and the wall of my ureter. After keeping the stent in for 3 months my urologist gave up and another one picked me up. When he went in to laser the stones, he had to laser chunks that had adhered to the stent before he could get it out

    They shockwaved my other side last month and got the newer stent out and had my follow up today and there’s two more little ones on the left side already forming up

    Next step is an endocrinologist

  • Ish? I run machines at a steel tube/chromed bar processing plant in the Midwest which is kinda neat but also mind-numbing, but the money is really good for what I do. They just offered me an outside sales position over my whole state so… I like doing new things and my background is in food and bev so I’d much rather be dealing with people than pushing buttons on a CNC or hone all day plus for a pay increase and not being all gross and oily when I get off work? No-brainer
