Medical stuff below the cut...
As many of my followers may be aware of, I've been dealing with a UTI for about six weeks now. I did a single round of antibiotics, but still deal with the symptoms. Difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and leaking. Wearing a (reusable) pad has been absolutely necessary. I take a cranberry supplement and drink cranberry juice daily, plus lots of water and tea, and go to the bathroom a lot. I was on Flomax for four days, but had an allergic reaction. It was helping with the symptoms, but fucking e up. Also did a round of Azzo's two-day treatment for UTI symptoms.
Someone came into my asks, requesting I not reply publically, with some helpful information. They said they're a doctor who specializes in treating chronic conditions related to the bladder and kidneys, and that they see what I'm dealing with very frequently. Except...it's the fullness of what I've been dealing with for a year: a side effect of my ADHD medication. Said side effect is constipation, which has been worsening. I use metamucil, benefiber, drink plenty of fluids, lots of fiber in my diet, and still I require a glycerin suppository any time I need to shit.
What I wasn't aware of is this can lead to another side effect, which is urinary retention disorder. Having a UTI started the issue, but the UTI could have been caused by a combination of stress and the constipation. The ADHD medication is making things significantly worse, and it's resulting in all the previous symptoms stated above.
My doctor never mentioned this as a possibility, and likely due to it not being a common side effect in those of us with a vagina. It's more common if you have a penis because the pressure from the bowels can fuck with the prostate, and that gets pushed into the urinary tract. It's not unheard of for folks with a vagina though, just uncommon.
They suggested I contact my doctor and ask for another round of a different UTI antibiotic, just in case there's still an infection. That infection will be resistant to the previous antibiotic. They also suggested I inquire about coming off the ADHD mediction for two to four weeks, to clear it out of my system so my body can clear things out, and follow up with a different medication later.
I've sent my PCP an email regarding this, that I want an antibiotic and to come off the ADHD medication. She incorporates hollistic medicine with her practice, and it's been wonderful, so I know she'll be more open about this than most doctors I've had to deal with. I've also informed my husband about this so he can prepare for me to revert to what I was like last year. One missed dose, which was a few days ago because he forgot to pick up my medication before the pharmacy closed, and I was back to what I was like before. It wasn't fun. It won't be fun this time around either. Yeah, I feel bad for him, but he's very understanding, especially with the lack of confidence and security the leaking has caused me.
Thank you, blog follower, for the info. I'm sharing it here so others may be made aware of the issue. Some of them may be dealing with the same exact issue, and the info here will help them as well.

I have a kidney stone that has been stuck for 8 days, no matter what I do.
Beer hasn't helped. Flomax hasn't helped. Climbing in and out of trucks at work hasn't helped.
I can't take much more of this pain, and as I get older, the pain is harder to bear.
But the last thing I need is to rack up a $20K bill for a lithotripsy, $4K of which the insurance won't pay.

"Sorry, I can't come in to work today. I have to suffer."
I awoke early and went to use the bathroom. I was still half asleep and was having a "Why hurting?" moment.
Oh.
It must be Kidney Stone Day.
Fucking great.
So yeah, there's a red hot poker jammed into my right hip.
I took my Ibuprofen. I forced myself to eat some bread so I could take my flomax. I contactedy friend, the doctor, who is in town.
I texted my boss, who is all, "Well, if you can't come in today I'm cancelling your classes tomorrow."
Like, I don't know how this will work? I know that it's gonna be horrific until the little stone is out, and that afterward I will feel much better. I have no idea what the timeline is going to be.
Lady, I did not call you during a huge annual sale to tell you that I don't feel like working today, and I'm gonna go eat bonbons and read fanfiction instead.
I didn't arbitrarily decide to dump half my hours this week when my next week's vacation pay is based on an average of how many hours I worked for the last 6 weeks (including this one.)
I called in sick because I'm in terrible pain, and have to have ready access to a toilet with a strainer. I'm not going to work retail while this is going on.
And I might be right as rain tomorrow, and able to teach those classes.
Ooooggh. I'm going to go suffer now.

When I try to pee it’s like I have to poop at the same time. I tried to pee little hard some urine come out.  If I try to poop hard sitting down on the toilet then I pee much urine come out.  While standing up I can’t pee normally. I tried to pretend pooping while standing then push to pee hard much of the urine came out  however my head hurt doing this.  I use my poop muscle to pee hard.  Strain and push to pee 
Last week I did have cystoscopy.  The doctor said they found nothing.  It the same problem before I got seen for cystoscopy.  The problem started yesterday afternoon.  Right now I’m taking flomax. 
It might be urine hesitancy or something else  prostate , pelvic muscles

I'm being stoned again.
Tumblr media
I had Kidney Stone Day on Friday, but by Saturday I was feeling better. Panning for stones netted me debris, which was similar to what has gone before.
On Monday my Mom and I were going to leave for another state, planning to be there through the week for Thanksgiving.
I decided to grab my meds "just in case" and keep taking my flomax. I felt perfectly fine.
I borrowed a vehicle, and the seat was a little bit too far back, but not enough to prevent my using the pedals. A few hours into the 8 hour journey, I noticed soreness in my right hip. As that's the foot on the gas and break, I just assumed (hoped?) that it was my hip complaining about the reach, so we took a pit stop and I shifted the seat closer. I also got out and walked, used the restroom (normally) and stretched. I was feeling better, so we got back on the road.
The pain creeped up on me. I took one of the ibuprofen horse pills. It creeped back.
And then, just in time for the ibuprofen to wear off, the pain kind of landed on me in cleats.
I dug out the anti nausea meds, and even the Oxycodone. I didn't take the latter, but wanted it handy. I explained to my mom about what was going on. She had gotten to telling me stories from my childhood (yes, Mom, I was there) and was on a rant about how awful my father was. Normally, I just let her ramble, but I set a boundary. "Let's not talk about our emotional pain while I'm trying to cope with physical pain, ok?"
It took about 20 minutes for the second ibuprofen dose to kick in, and I got us back on the road after 15, on faith. We only had an hour and 45 min left, so I decided to power through and get us to our hotel.
We were driving in the rain again, so that slowed us down, but the meds worked well enough to keep me functional.
I got us checked in, and we found a cart to bring out stuff in.
Then my pain was so well managed that I was hungry, so I had a snack and went to bed.
This morning, the pain returned.
So I asked my aunt if she would like a Sister's Day with Mom, and encouraged them to go play together.
I'm going to chill out in the hotel room, and try to get the gravel out of my system. I haven't needed the Good Drugs yet, but I have them handy.
Honestly, having a day to rest and recooperate after driving and listening to my mother monologuing is kind of nice. I love her, and I like getting time with her.
On the other hand, she has taken it up on herself to persuade me that Christian Bale is A Great Actor and that his Batman is Best Batman*. While I'm sure that Bale is a perfectly good person, and that he studied his craft intensely, I don't enjoy him, in anything. And Mopey Throat Cancer Batman is my least favorite Batman.
Once I'm done being stoned from within, I will be happy to join in on the Bat Disc Horse with my mom. I intend to throw some of my favorite fanfic at her in retaliation. (She's old school and thinks fanfic is yucky. She'd call it "Cringe" if she weren't a legit boomer.) I bet the Bruce Wayne/Miss Piggy/Kermit story will delight her.
*I mean, to be fair, no live action creation is going to be better than Kevin Conroy's animated series Batman. But even George Clooney was a better Batman than Bale.

KIDNEY STONE
Kidney Stone- Part 2
Tumblr media
Treatment
Treatment for kidney stones varies, depending on the type of stone and the cause.
Small stones with minimal symptoms
Most small kidney stones won't require invasive treatment. You may be able to pass a small stone by:
Drinking water: Your urine will be less concentrated and less likely to contain stones if you drink as much as 2 to 3 quarts (1.8 to 3.6 liters) per day. Drink enough fluid, ideally mostly water, to produce clear or nearly clear urine unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
Pain Relievers: A small stone can be uncomfortable to pass. For mild pain relief, your doctor may recommend pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or naproxen sodium (Aleve).
Medical therapy: To help you get rid of your kidney stone, your doctor may prescribe medication. An alpha blocker is a medication that helps you pass a kidney stone more quickly and with less pain by relaxing the muscles in your ureter. Examples of alpha blockers include tamsulosin (Flomax) and the drug combination dutasteride and tamsulosin (Jalyn).
Large stones and those that cause symptoms
More extensive treatment may be required for kidney stones that are too large to pass on their own, cause bleeding, damage to the kidney, or persistent infections of the urinary tract.
Dr. Amit Ghosh is one of the best urologist and robotics uro-surgeon in Kolkata.

Can ED drugs really help your sex life?
Can ED drugs really help your sex life?
Erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs are more readily available than ever before, and in general, men have gotten past any stigma about needing them. Yet many men still approach ED drugs the wrong way.To get more news about where to buy vigrx plus, you can visit vigrxplus-original.com official website.
Which drug is right for you? Finding out is often a trial-and-error approach. Many doctors first prescribe Viagra because it has been around the longest and has a high success rate, says Dr. Liou.
If one drug doesn’t work after a predetermined period, your doctor may increase the dosage or prescribe one of the others. "Sometimes, you have to try all of them before knowing whether ED drugs work for you," says Dr. Liou. An ED drug kicks in within 15 minutes to an hour after you take it and can last anywhere from four to five hours up to 24 hours or longer depending on the drug. (See "ED drugs: How soon and how long?") It’s best not to take the pill with food or soon after a meal, which can block absorption. Watch out for side effects The most common side effects are headaches, upset stomach, nasal congestion, muscle pain, and facial flushing. But most of these are relatively mild and go away after a few hours.
ED drugs can make blood pressure temporarily drop, so never use them if you also take medications that contain nitrates. (Nitrates found in food don’t pose a problem.)
You also need to be careful if you take any other drugs that lower blood pressure. For example, alpha blockers — such as tamsulosin (Flomax) and alfuzosin (Uroxatral), which are used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate, lower blood pressure in some men. Make sure to take them at least four hours apart from an ED drug. The mental side of sex It’s important to realize that ED drugs don’t increase sexual desire, and you have to be ready and sexually stimulated for them to work.
"The drugs won’t work well if you are mentally or emotionally not ready for sex," says Dr. Liou. "You can’t just take a pill, pay some bills or wash the dishes, and then go to the bedroom and think you’ll be ready to go. When your mind is not there, you are not going to want sex, and no ED drug can fix that problem."
He says that before trying an ED drug, you should step back and analyze your sex life and when your ED occurs. Does it happen all the time or just in certain situations? Is it with only one partner or different ones? Does it ever happen when you masturbate? Are the problems associated with stress or alcohol?
