My frienemies, the kidney stones, are back. It's just so bizarre because I had a check up six weeks ago and I had no visible stones. As of Friday, I have three stones, with one being a nuisance.
I don't know if I'm just used to the pain or if I have the world's highest pain tolerance, but I'm not feeling as bad as I know I could. I don't feel great, but I don't feel like total ass. So that's good.
My thoughts? I'm no Dr. House, but I think I'm allergic to the sun. Yes, I've been in the sun/around the sun my whole life (I love to be outside) but these stones only pop up in the summer, and only after I've spent time outdoors, in the heat of the summer (yes, it's spring, but last week it was in the high 80s, so I consider that summer).
Of course, this diagnosis is based on nothing. No medical or scientific findings, just my own opinion.
It's back to the lithotripsy machine on Monday. Oh boy.
