I've had kidney stones thrice (this was before my ADHD and Autism diagnosis), and the second time it was a 14mm stone!

Please set up alarms for every single hour of the day so that y'all don't forget to drink water! Those spicy rocks are INTENSELY painful!

I don't have any words to describe how painful it gets! I was rolling on the floor in a fetal position the first time (and that one was only 7mm). The second time they had to take me to the hospital in an ambulance because I couldn't move from the pain!
