So this purging thing...

[MorningGlow]

Can it include kidney stones? :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

1. OUCH!!!!!1

Oh I'm very sorry MorningGlow.That hurts. Sending healing and Light post haste.:wow: :scared: :hug:

3. Thanks, Howler

At least it's better than what I initially feared--appendicitis. Heck, I birthed a kid with no meds, I can push out a miniscule spikey thing! :P :hi:

2. Yes it can!

Sorry you're in pain -- saw your FB post. Passing kidney stones can be brutal. Sending light and energy to get them out with as little pain as possible.

4. Yippee

5. Definitely

but, it's most likely Saturn. Saturn calcifies, hardens and coagulates. Venus rules the kidneys.
Saturn is almost exactly opp. your Chiron. This could cause kidney stones; I'm not a medical astrologer.
I wish you relief and safe passage! :hi:

(It's not Pluto purging, it's Saturn)

6. Owiee!!!

I had kidney stone attacks about once a month, for seven months, a couple of years ago. The pain was in my left side, a couple of inches left of my belly button.

I would vomit and get the runs since the pain overruled the circuits.

Now I drink lots of water and juice and milk.

It's as bad as a busted ovarian cyst as far as duration and intensity. Unbearable.

As far as having a child, I had labor pains and then a planned C section. Kidney stone is comparable in intensity but lasted far longer than labor pains and uterine cramps post-delivery (which are quite painful).

:hug: :grouphug:

7. if you can collect a sample of urine and take it post haste

for analysis, the lab may be able to determine the type of kidney stones you have and from there, adjustments to diet can help prevent recurrances. You'll need a doctor's order for the labwork, though.

In general, plenty of fluids may help keep particles dissolved. Depending on the type of stones, adjusting the pH of your urine by diet or reducing the intake of certain foods, can help prevent them. (Certain types form in an acid environment; other types form in an alkaline environment, so just changing your pH without knowing the type won't necessarily help and could make things worse.)

And from a Louise Hay perspective, if there is anybody close to you that you are deeply pissed off at, those feelings need to be addressed :D

8. Thanks, NL--I appreciate your expertise!

Unfortunately in NYS you can only go to a lab with a doctor's order for work; the good news is I know exactly what my problem is--I am very prone to dehydration, and like an idiot I've been drinking WAY too much strong coffee lately. So that's the first change I need to make.

I will call my doctor during the week, though--just to make sure it's moving along properly, and if she wants me to have lab work done, I will certainly do that.

Now...deeply pissed off...? Who, me? Maaayyyybe.... :evilgrin:
