Like 2 years ago I started developing severe pain near my sides and frequent urination, I'd wake up like 3 times to go piss every night and god fucking damn the side pain hurts so bad it's impossible to sleep, I get like 3 hours worth of actual sleep per night max. I thought it would go away on it's own but it never did, I recently got a blood test and my GFR came back at 120 which was weird I was 100% confident it was some form of CKD, I tried explaining my symptoms to my family doctor and he kept denying I had anything wrong, I was baffled by some of the shit he was trying to tell me (he was trying to blame my issues on temperature/etc, like what the fuck?? I just agreed and left I didn't know what to tell him, I'm in my early-mid 20s and have no previous health conditions).

Certainly this is a kidney issue, are blood tests bullshit then? Like how could my kidneys be working that well when I urinate like every hour. No blood in piss, my only symptoms are extreme discomfort near my sides and frequent urination. I don't know how I lived like this for two years and I honestly can't imagine living much longer like this. Drinking less water doesn't help

Does the pain in your sides radiate? Is it dull or sharp? Considering the time course it doesn't sound like stones or a UTI. Could be interstitial cystitis

Thanks, honestly too retarded to answer whether or not it's sharp or dull but I'll try: the pain isn't consistent sometimes I barely feel it and then other times I feel an intense amount of pressure in that area, sometimes it's both sides sometimes it's only one side (usually left), everyday it's painful however and it's always noticeable it never goes away 100%, like right now it's 20-30% as bad as it was just an hour or two ago, really weird. When I sleep I have to sleep on one of my sides, on whichever side I can feel the most amount of pressure on.

I used to fast a lot, what I originally thought was I gave myself renal damage. I did this for years without issues originally but maybe it just slowly damaged my organs until it became unbearable.

Even though I said I feel pain on my sides, I also feel some pressure near my bladder area, besides the pressure I can't sleep on my back because of this it's too uncomfortable in my bladder area. I used to take aspirin maybe this is what caused it? Really retarded but I'd take a gram a day if not more back then, however I already had the urination problems by then, don't know about the bladder pressure though. I looked up interstitial cystitis and it wouldn't be surprising.

Something I didn't bring up: I took vyvanse 20mg a year ago for the first time I had never taken a stim before, I had bad side effects for 2 weeks straight, I had erectile dysfunction, and I was freezing for those 2 weeks, etc. This was already a year after I already started having these other symptoms, it wasn't placebo because I couldn't get out of my bed, I'd sleep with like 10 blankets and would be drenched in sweat, and the second I'd get up to go piss I'd be freezing again, yes this really lasted 2 weeks. after I booked an appointment to see my old doc but he died 2 days before (early 50s), and that shook me and made me not want to go see another one until recently, but this also made me think it was kidney related

So back in early 2021 I stayed at an airbnb, I woke up either once or twice to go piss that was the earliest memory I can remember of this happening, I still slept fine after I don't recall any pain at all. I started taking dupixent like a month or two after this memory, around this time I do remember being in pain, I actually thought this was what was causing it for a while but I didn't want to discontinue it, I took it for a year then I got fed up and discontinued, but it's been many months and nothing has gotten better.

[Anonymous No.15379747]

>>15379734
Also before vyvanse I took minocycline 200mg per day for a few months, it discolored my teeth. This was right around the time I took dupixent so that could have been another cause, my doctor only wanted me to take 50mg but I didn't notice any benefits, I took 200mg because I read online that it was still a safe dose.

op here, you're good don't sweat it just don't forget to drink water, I used to fast for 1+ weeks, longest I went was 3 weeks, insane I actually pulled this off I wasn't even that overweight, and I did it on and off for years. I don't recommend fasting at all though it's very easy to get delusional once you do it often, I started off with one day fasts and then it progressed as I noticed I could do them longer, like 3 weeks without food just sounds like a recipe for organ damage, but I didn't think of it like this at the time I was surrounded by many other delusional people online.

probably kidney stones. Put 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a cup and mix it with some water and drink it twice a day.

[bodhi No.15381898]

>>15381875
it isnt organ damage. fasting is very good for you. It is because people get most of the water they need from food. When you cut off the food you werent getting enough water for your kidneys to break down the minerals and salts they formed into little rocks. The pain you are experiencing is because those little rocks are getting into your tubes, getting stuck and clogging shit that shouldn't be clogged.

You need to dissolve those rocks now using something acidic, hence the apple cider vinegar and the olive oil acts as a lubricant. You also need to stay well hydrated.

Drinking coca cola also helps break down the rocks from the phosphoric acid in coke. Stay away from dairy

look up the phoenix protocol btw. It is a 60+ year doctor who does a week long dry fast every year or so and will explain why it is good for you. The tldr is you have lots of unhealthy cells that could potentially become cancerous. They are only able to survive because of the sugar and nutrients you are provided to them. When you do a week long fast your body will kill all those cells off because it cant waste the energy required to keep them alive. It is kind of like human shedding for reptiles or molting for crabs and lobs and what not

I'll unironically try this out, I do drink a lot of milk, a liter per day, I also thought it was from excess calcium I tried cutting milk off for a small period of time and I didn't notice any difference, but I'll try what you're saying which is something acidic, lemons are ok right? I can drink high amounts water with lemon very easily. I'll also try some ACV

However it's been 2 years, I feel like if it was reversible this easily it would have already fixed itself, but I'll still try this out thanks.

it possibly could be little calcium rocks. Kidney stones can be any salt or mineral. Not every persons stones are made of the same thing.

Yah lemons will work, I prefer the apple cidar vinegar because you can purchase in relatively large containers compared to citrus flavors. Drink a lot of cranberry juice too.

>However it's been 2 years, I feel like if it was reversible this easily it would have already fixed itself
Nah, however long it took to build those rocks, it will take just as long to dissolve them as a general rule of thumb.

Stone formation has been directly associated with a lack of fluid intake and is by far one of the most common causes of kidney stone formation. Low fluid intake leads to reduced diuresis, resulting in concentrated urine. This may lead to supersaturation of minerals contributing to the formation of kidney stones.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7731957/#:~:text=Stone%20formation%20has%20been%20directly,the%20formation%20of%20kidney%20stones

What Are Kidney Stones?
A kidney stone is a hard mass that forms from crystals in the urine. They can be as tiny as a grain of sand or as big as a golf ball. Sometimes they stay in the kidney, but they often travel through the urinary tract.

If a kidney stone is small enough, you may not even know you have one as it passes through the urinary system.

A large kidney stone can cause significant pain. It can also block the flow of urine, causing harmful backups.

The most common type of kidney stones are calcium oxalate stones.

Calcium naturally binds to a substance called oxalate. Ideally, calcium binds with oxalate in the stomach and intestines before moving to the kidneys. Then, the substances leave the body without forming stones.

However, if calcium and oxalate combine in the urine, they can form kidney stones, especially if there’s not enough liquid.

Kidney stones are common. The National Kidney Foundation estimates that one in 10 people will have a kidney stone at some point in their lives. They affect more men than women.

What are the Symptoms?
If you’ve had kidney stones before, you may recognize the signs. Typical symptoms of kidney stones are:

Chills.
Constant need to urinate.
Fever.
Bloody urine.
Nausea.
Pain in your lower back or side (flank pain).
Vomiting.

Oddly this website (pic rel) says to consume dairy OP but most, if not all, the other ones I checked out say not to and when I had kidney stones drinking milk or cream always made it worse. Since you were dehydrated from fasting and consuming large amounts of dairy I will say this points to your stones most likely being calcium so I would cut out dairy altogether but it is up to you.

>>15381999
I mentioned your diet and constipation for a reason anon. >>15382301 is correct and appears on the same track. If your bloodwork and everything else is fine, odds are cyclical constipation is causing your issues. Look it up. Causes bladder pains and migrating pain. Your doctor should have asked the related questions and investigated that unless he fucked up OR you were not honest or cant recall detail enough. If you dont know what normal is you wont know if your diet is abnormal for example, and doctors sometimes have to go fishing to figure out ehat you think normal means.

You need to make sure you arent driving yourself crazy over something as simple as not staying hydrated, with moderate salt and calcium and related. Talk to your doctor about your diet. I bet you it isnt good. If it is, then get an xray when the pain happens to rule out other causes of constipation.

Beyond that you either have a super duper rare zebra condition, which you dont or you would have other complaints a lot worse, or anxiety related somaticism. Lots of people with anxiety or adhd have dietary ajd digestion issues due to bad diet and anxiety causing bad digestion.

Stones, constipation, or otherwise, all amounts to the same thing about diet and hydration. So that's what you'd want to discount first. Hence that, and if in extreme pain again an x-ray would differentiate and narrow a lot of possibilities.

Caffeine irritation isn't that rare though. I worked with a woman that had interstitial cystitis, so it's more immediately in my view as a possibility despite me not being the one to suggest it earlier on itt. We're coming in and posting globally, so rarity for something is skewed. Kidney stones are usually pretty common in people that drink a lot of soda, sometimes with beet juice (which is evil because it's delicious).

>people get most of the water they need from food
Sorry, correction here:

Your body typically gets about 20% of the water it needs from the foods you eat throughout the day. Foods that typically provide the highest water content are raw fruits and vegetables. Eating a diet heavy in produce is a good way to give the body vitamins, minerals and fiber while increasing your daily water intake.

The reason I mentioned this is because you said you were fasting. So you aren't getting any of the water you need from food and you were consuming large amounts of calcium ALONG with the fact you were consuming the source of the calcium IN PLACE OF water as well. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to connect the dots

Frequent urination and side pain has a lot of causes, and you can rule out low GFR as a symptom.
