    I understand everything your going through! I’m dealing with kidney stones right now! You’re not crazy, our brains take a snapshot of traumatic situations and tries to keep u safe from it ever happening again. Learn how to tame the Animal, learn to sit with the emotions. Doing that over and over again will make your brain realize who’s in charge. Kidney stones are a bitch! Did u ever have blood in your urine?

Still havent passed it, but its less painful today! Solidarity, kidney stone folk!

    Same thing happened to me just now. Im a trucker whos had kidney stones before, but the other day one hit me so hard i was screaming in agony for SIX hours straight. Was out of town but went straight to an emergency room anyway. They just let me sit in their waiting room for another two hours in absolute agony before finally giving me morphine. Then took a CAT scan and found a 7mm stone. Doc insists all these painful procedures will be necessary to remove it, but they wont do it there, they want me to go to a urologist in my own city. So yeah, right now im scared out of my mind that the next ER will see dollar signs and want to do a bunch of barbaric things to remove it. Im still hoping it passes on its own anyway, before my appointment tomorrow.

    I have chronic kidney stones. I am so sorry to hear about your experience especially with the ambulance douche. So frustrating. My stent was pulled out without meds or anything and it ripped my pelvic floor to shreds as it took four nurses two on either side holding my legs apart and down. I was back at the hospital 1 hr after surgery puking thinking I was dying! I know that back pain all too well and I've been suffering ....like I walk with my hand on my right hand side of my body which my urologist said is a natural response to try to protect yourself even tho the pain is coming from the inside of me. Has anyone else who is reading this had a problem with their pelvic floor due to this condition?

    I am so sorry this happened to you. I have had about 100 stones in my life as I have a disease that makes me have stones at all times and osteoarthritis …its always bad when you get medical staff that just dont care. It can make any situation worse. I haven’t had one obstructed in years, but I fear I have one now. I passed a 9mm stone last year and usually get obstructed when they are 4mm greater. I have had drs that have ridiculed me or some that empathize … I get what you are going through. I hope you dont get another one but as you know when you have one you have greater chance of having another…I do what ever I can not to go to hospital as well.

    I've always wanted to work at Disneyland, But my anxiety, stopped that dream from ever happening. I get claustrophobic, so I don't think I could stand being crowded. Plus my anxiety happens when I drive. I know Anaheim is only a 45 minute drive from Ontario, But to me that is like WOW!! Too far. I am guessing your anxiety didn't include close people next to you. BTW I know 3 other Alice's but they sang in a Mad T party band. LOL

    If the stones are small, they’ll pass on their own. I believe it’s 5mm or smaller. I used to be the same way because I had a stone that got obstructed and wouldn’t pass, but then I had a small stone that I passed on my own, and it wasn’t too bad, so now I’m not as anxious as I once was. But I was just as bad as you were. Also lemon water prevents kidney stones. It also helps kidney stones pass.

    I loved this one too. I think we like it because we're adults, and this movie was more earnest, quiet and emotional than most Pixar movies. - which kids likely do find boring as a result. Having fewer characters than other Pixar movies and oftentimes a more subtle sense of humor probably didn't help. I happened to love it, however.

I was hospitalized in early October with a kidney stone, and since then, my “health anxiety” has been through the roof. I’m suffering as I write this, once again worried about experiencing such a horrific thing, in a pandemic no less. It’s comforting to know I’m not alone. Also, I’m sorry that you experienced such an attitude from the paramedic - anxiety is so stigmatized, and it is so demeaning to be treated that way.

They ask me to go that i am free, I am existed and grateful to God who uses doctor chimnedum herbal home to wipe my tears away from my face, in case you wants to contact him for the same or similar issues,you can reach him through his email address, Dr.chimnedumherbalhome1616@gmail.com or you contact him through his WhatsApp number :+2347086675538, now i believe in doctor chimnedum herbal home and his Herb's.......................

    That is so frustrating! I'm sorry you had to go through that. I think anyone can tell the difference between their anxiety and kidney stone pain, especially someone very familiar with both. It shouldn't have been a question. Just because a person is capable of standing and walking doesn't mean they're not in great pain. I'm glad you stuck to your guns and got the treatment you needed. I had gallstones a few years ago. The pain was excruciating. I totally get what you're saying about the anxiety living in the subconscious. Even after having my gallbladder removed, I'm afraid to eat certain foods. I associate a certain ache and tightness after eating with an oncoming gallbladder attack. The sensation makes my adrenaline go up even though I know those days are over. By the way, I watched The Good Dinosaur and thought it was wonderful. Thank you for the recommendation.

  • @BeautiflMystry
    @BeautiflMystry 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    You aren’t crazy. I wish I could tell you that it will get better but I don’t know if it will. It may lessen over time, but I suffer anxiety attacks from the same fear. I wound up in the er 5 years ago with an 8 lb ovarian cyst twisting my ovary. The entire experience and hospital stay was so extremely traumatic to me. The first few months following I was overly cautious and so scared of every muscle twinge or cramp. It’s gotten better now but sadly whenever I get the slightest bit injured or ill I wind up in full blown attacks. It’s the fear of the unknown, experiencing health issues, and winding up in surgery or worse again that sends me overboard.I agree, it may be part ptsd and I don’t want to self diagnose or use that word lightly, but in my case I feel that it is. A lot of people don’t understand it , cant relate or don’t talk about it so it’s hard to move past the fear/trigger. I hope that you are able to overcome it. If you do please share with us all how you did. It’s going to be rough but hang in there. Just know you got through it once and if it happens again you’ll get through it again.

      Jessica Prell some days I do well other times I don’t. If I get up in the morning and I don’t have any weird aches and pains I reassure myself that I’m ok and going to be ok and go on with life. But if at any time I get weird pains it does make me slightly panicky inside. I usually don’t have a full meltdown unless the pain is severe or not going away or if I injure myself to where I know I need to go to urgent care I have total panic attacks. I wish I had better coping abilities to ward it off and get through it better but I’m still pretty traumatized/terrified of medical emergencies. It does lessen over time, but I think that time is the only thing that works for me. Or at least it works until I have another medical emergency 😕
