      Kidney stones are second only to biliary colic for me. I’ve never fucking felt pain like it, and I’ve got a very high pain tolerance. I had an attack come on that was so bad, I passed out twice between bouts of writhing around on the floor like a worm, unable to even speak.

      An emergency run to the hospital, 4 shots of fentanyl, and an ultrasound later, and it turns out my gallbladder was set to explode. Also turns out it’d been fucking rotting inside me for years, and a previous hospital stay failed to mention it in 2019 despite them knowing about it.

      So FUCKING glad that’s over now. Towards the end, merely drinking water would set off an attack.

      kidney stones - my only experience with morphine - pretty sweet - apart from the sheer fucking agony preceding it.

      Two things have been more painful than childbirth. Kidney/bladder stone and migraine. Staying hydrated helps avoid both.
