I imagine TVC having fever dreams of victorian prostitutes birthing basketball sized kidney stones in opium dens
HOLY FUCKING FUCK.
These have officially replaced having a swab inserted in the end of my penis as my most feared thing on earth.
umbrella-opening swab dealie
I dunno, kidney stones can pass over days.
I had a kidney stone earlier this year

Please do. This thread is really making me uncomfortable, so I want to see how far we can push it.
I had a kidney stone last year. Worst and most painful experience of my life and the first time I got down on my knees and prayed for death.
You know it sucks when shoving a jagged rock through your pisshole is usually described as the least painful part.

I got mine while I was on vacation in Japan. I speak Japanese (thank Christ) but my medical Japanese is spotty at best. I was in Osaka looking around trying to find an emergency room and when I got there I thought for only the second time in my life that I might actually be dying.
It felt like I had swallowed a razor blade and it was working its way through my digestive track, shredding it with every breath. It was unquestionably the most painful experience of my entire life.
So you have to piss that out? Jesus fucking christ on a stick.
How do kidney stones form? Are they man's pearls?
A friend of mine got hit by one when home alone. The pain was so bad that it took him several hours just to get to his phone to call the ambulance. The phone was 6 feet away.
I can't begin to imagine the punishments life has for me. Part of my aversion of doctors has to do with a fear of getting cancer. If I were told I had cancer, I'd opt to just put a bullet through my head rather than wade through years and years of treatments that would greatly compromise my quality of life even if I did beat it. I am fairly certain something chronic and debilitating is waiting for me in the future.
I should also mention that by the time I was back in the US I had a pretty serious sinus infection going on
thanks to being up for 24 hours straight three times in the previous week (flight to Japan, The Kidney Stone Experience, flight from Japan)
so I could hardly speak, my throat was so fucked up
man, what an awesome time
also my surgeon was named "Ramin" and I was like "haha ... Ramin ... sounds like Ramen ... I like Ramen ... I'm not gay though ... it's cool if you are though ... wait, no, I mean ... uh ... so sleepy"
I'm lucky I still had my dick when I woke upA friend of mine got hit by one when home alone. The pain was so bad that it took him several hours just to get to his phone to call the ambulance. The phone was 6 feet away.
walking around the abandoned dawn streets of Osaka with the pain in my gut was probably the closest thing to living a post-apocalyptic zombie movie I'll ever feel. it felt like I had taken a bullet to the gut and was wandering in a pain-fueled haze looking for the medical supplies to let me make it another day.

I also took like five hot baths that night
I kind of alternated between sitting in the bathtub and curling up in the fetal position on the bed
and complaining about the pain to TVC
I dunno, I suppose I was still functional (ha) which means it wasn't as bad as some? or maybe I just have a really high pain threshhold. I mean, I still did legitimately think I might be dying.
"I wish you had told me about this vomiting problem earlier. We could have cleared it up no problem. Now you have kidney stones."
"..."
"and cancer"

I was also concerned because of the whole international factor, and that you had other recent health problems. It's really gay to say so, but I was worried about you. Especially because it seems like a bunch of us have had really shitty 2008s.

aww
my 2008 has been pretty shitty
but at least I can remember it, unlike 2007
the next time you pee, though? THAT'S when it hurts
it was one the humiliating moments of my life :(
My Mom said that her kidney stones were worse than childbirth
i was naked on the floor.....covered with pubes
yeesh those kidney stones look horrifying alright :o
I never had kidney stones, but i'm dealing with gallstones at the moment. they say they have the same symptoms and "attacks" (although i'm sure someone is thinking "what a pussy" :P)
the attack feels at first as if it's a minor stomach ache. then is kinda spreads out to my chest and abdomen (they get hard like a rock) like the worst muscle spasm you've ever experienced. i can't take any position to feel less pain, and it's always hard to breath (i have to take short rapid breaths that always leads to a hyperventilation in my case :-\). these attacks stays for at least two hours up to six.
ok, now all you have to do is ask a dude who has kidney stones "what's worse, kidney stones or a kick in the nut?"
we really need to put an end to that dispute.
Well, I had a nightmare i sprayed hot bloody piss all over my bathroom last night and was rushed to the emergency room. :'(
so what you're saying is, a dreamcatcher is kind of like a condom for your subconscious

I almost watched Dreamcatcher last night. True story.
Also, if you had sex with Kosma, you'd be having sex with sexy asians via the transitive property, what with his third world fuck tour and all.
