i need to vent

[Daveroo]

i know i seem to do this alot lately...but im in the process of finding a psyhciatrist..but for now yall are my sounding board....this isnt anything bad...just frustrating....

several months ago i had passed a kidney stone..it was my 3rd in like 4 years..so the GP doctor sent me to a Urologist,the GP had,had xrays done and the xray tech had found 3 or 4 small deposits that could have been more stones and forwarded this info to the urologist...well i get tothe urologist and first thing oout of his mouth was...you have NO stones ( to which with my sense of humor i made an off color joke to which he didnt like)and he added..but i see what appears to be bladder cancer......oh joy......this guy was some kind of jr dr not the accual urologist..i had to wait a month and then go to have a CT scan and the back to urologist and he put a scope up my willie and into my blader and he had a look around and said

i see no cancer!!!! why are you here???

i said im here because i keep passing kidney stones...!!!

he looked at me and said..please get dressed and meet me at the counter...then i stood there like and idiot for 20 minutes and somewoman says..the dr doesnt wish to treat you at this point...i said why not YOU people are the ones who made the mistake..not me...and i was escorted out....

that was 6 weeks ago..and in the 6 weeks since..ive passed 3 more kidney stones,,ive saved them all..they are approxamatly 2 weeks apart...i called the gp yesterday and he called me last night ( were also friends) and we talked....havent come up with an answer yet as he cant understand why i have such a build up of calcium ( the other were all tested and have been calcium) when im lactose intollerant,,and use NO dary or anything...

one funny thing that happened

went to gp ( my friend) over the years as he has done prostrate exams ect ive said things like..."kissme now fool",,,or "oh please,is that all you can give me"...he just smiles and slaps the back of my head...
well i passed a kidney stone and took it to him for testing..it was large...he looked at it said..wow big one did it hurt?..i said no..but it burn as it passed through....
he looked at me with a dead straight look on his face and said

well no problem..it was a mighty short trip


i almost died laughin........

I feel for ya Daveroo. Many years ago I had a suspected case of kidney stones and the pain was excruciating. I eventually passed one several days later about the size and shape of half a split yellow pea. It felt like I was trying to pass a football though!

I too am lactose intolerant and haven't touched milk for years although I do eat cheese and an occasional ice-cream in the summer.
