So long story short, I have digestive disorders but lots of time ill wake up at night with intense pain in my upper right quadrant. Went to the doctor and the doctor said, no more monkeys jumping on the bed! ...haha just kidding.
He ordered me a complete abdomen ultrasound.
Results?
I, Darlene Ines, am the sad owner of gallstones.
Yep, gallstones. Thankfully, it's not lodged in a bile duct so no surgery. But every once in a while i get really bad pain from it so it suggests that it does at one point interfere with my ducts. bleh.
Oh, that's not all.
I, Darlene Ines, am also the sad owner of kidney stones.
REALLY? ...wow. I suck. I'm terrified for when the time comes to pass them cause according to my patients and other Nurses, it's "like giving birth to a stone". And with my ZERO PAIN TOLERANCE, i can't imagine how ill be.
Treatment? No more soda. foreals this time. I have to break up with Dr.Pepper and Pepsi. I dont know that ill be able to. Im on day 2 without soda and already popped advil for my headache. No more fast food. I dont think i can break up with IN N' OUT. The thought itself makes me sick. No more chicken nuggets? WHYYYY PORQUE!!
this sucks.
Advice to you: If you have a DR.Pepper for breakfast, kfc for lunch and in n' out for dinner...you're heading down my path and i say STOP. eat better or you'll be the sad owner of stones in your body.
one love :)

My daddy has had kidney stones multiple times. He found some remedy to make the sharp edges of the stone go away so that it won't be as painful when you pass them. Talk to him if you want it. He swears by it. When Alex's step dad had stones my dad gave him the remedy as well! Sorry that you're in pain sugar. Makes me sad. Get better!!
