Are you Kidney Stoning me!?

Yes, it seems it's time for another kidney stone!

Can I hear a "OH HOLY SHIT THIS MIGHT REALLY HURT!?"

Actually, I started noticing my symptoms last week.

First comes additional swelling and water retention.

Next comes the sensation of having your testicles squeezed by some invisible vice grips.

Following that comes the bloody urine and sensation that you have gravel up your piss pipe.

This time the pain is very minimal compared to the large kidney stones I had last year.

It feels like this time around there might only be one kidney stone and it's small.

I don't feel like it's in the kidney anymore and it's probably somewhere on it's way to the bladder or there already.

It's just a matter of drinking more water and increasing the amount of citric acid in my diet.

Citric acid comes in all sorts of things.

Citrus fruits (lemons, limes, oranges, etc.), different instant drink packages you put into your water bottle, and various vitamin/food supplements.

The urologists suggest Potassium Citrate.

I hadn't been taking my Potassium Citrate for a while, and a few weeks back I started eating roasted salted peanuts with candy corn. (Pretty good if you've never tried it).

Peanuts aren't good for people with Kidney stone problems.

At least I found that salted & roasted peanuts are the worst for me.

I wish Ellie hadn't of bought the peanuts in the first place.

Ah well...

I'm just going to keep drinking lots of water, and trying to piss this think out.
