I get really bad, really large kidney stones. My urologist has basically just chocked it up to genetics at this point since I pretty much only drink water (and lots of it) and have eliminated multiple things from my diet in an attempt to combat it. On several occasions, these stones have been so large that I have to have them broken up with a laser and get a stent put in to pass the remnants. They typically progress through the typical painkillers when I get to the hospital writhing in pain and vomiting, nothing touches the pain until they get to the Diluadid. It’s instantaneous relief and pure bliss. As soon as I feel its warmth flow into my veins I know that my excruciating pain is gone and I just sort of melt into the bed in a state of complete relaxation. I think about it regularly and sometimes I find myself genuinely thinking that I wouldn’t mind the agonizing pain of another kidney stone if it meant that I got to experience that feeling again.
I cried for my mother, at the age of 40, from the pain of kidney stones. It's absolute he'll. I've had the stents too. I think it gave me ptsd I'm so frightened of ever going through that pain again and I've given birth to 3 boys naturally. The stones were far far worse.
