It means I put in an IV STAT and administer the strongest pain relief I can give at the time... and an anti nauseant. Gosh, you would not wish it on your worst enemy!Cazzie!!!http://www.blogger.com/profile/13856029137337148466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11314587.post-21960843866528063382011-05-23T07:06:02.810-05:002011-05-23T07:06:02.810-05:00Gosh what an ordeal.

Just reading this made me a little antsy and what not. I have never had a kidney stone, but I can imagine. My brother in law had a few bad bouts of them years ago and the pain was so bad that it left him with a permanent neurological condition-- the way the docs explained it (after they took 2 years trying to figure it out) is that the pain of the kidney stones was so intense that his brain was releasing all the dopamines and feel good chemicals it had, and it had to do this for so long that it sorta ran out of juice. Then once the stones were gone, his brain was kind of &quot;stuck&quot; in that mode, thinking it was feeling pain all the time. He went through many episodes of life threatening illness. I&#39;m talking hallucinations, falling asleep standing up, sleep paralysis-- a long list of strange, strange symptoms that had the doctors guessing for a long time. He lost tons of weight off his already skinny frame and could barely function. After seeing literally every doctor he could see in Memphis (and Memphis is a pretty doctor-rich area what with UT Medical and all), he finally traveled to some super hot shot specialist in North Carolina who figured it out. They finally started treating him with tons of anti-depressants and whatever else makes your brain chemistry even out and now he&#39;s okay. But it all started with bad kidney stones, and it dang near killed the man. Those things ain&#39;t no joke.<br /><br />Your hubby&#39;s been on my mind since this started. I&#39;m glad it&#39;s over.
