The dumb s have dried up pills here...so now the drug culture as a whole is on meth and/or heroin/fentanyl and dropping like flies. Speedballing meth and fentanyl is a death wish.
The hoops and humiliation that people with legitimate chronic pain issues have to go through to get the medication that gives them at leasy some quality of life makes me absolutely sick on a daily basis.
The fact I can't take anything but Tylenol for my pain, which doesn't work, must be why I have such a crappy quality of life.
Been meaning to explore CBD, but haven't found time to go to an actual shop and talk to someone. Doctors say I have to be careful what I take as it could potentially interact with my anti-rejection meds.
Back in the spring I had gall stones.... Misdiagnosed as a heart attack the first trip to the ER... My wife's best friend who is a PA, told us to have my gall bladder checked... Thank goodness for her, because on the second trip to the ER, I was screaming 'check the gall bladder!'. And she was right lol. It's a bit longer story, but in the process of an that I developed pancreatitis, mild version comparitively speaking mind you, but let's just say that was a long 2 months... Pain I've never felt before, hope to never again.
Anyway... After all that you start to find out just how common all that is, and how some people go years without the correct diagnosis... So I consider myself lucky, Relatively speaking that is...
5 ️ UK commit Kiyaunta Goodwin just received a CB to Michigan State haha love it @Bruce Wayne
When you say both kidneys taken out, you mean like they had a transplant or something? You only have two kidneys, and you've got to have at least one.
That’s what I thought. But they took out both and he went to dialysis 3 days a week. Unfortunately, he died in a car accident on the way to dialysis. He was on the list for a transplant, but he was far down even though in his forties because there was something genetic that runs in his family. His started earlier than most family members because of those before mentioned drugs that has been the topic of discussion.
We should ask Doc. I'm no doctor, just a guy who has had a transplant, but I don't think what you're saying is actually possible. I don't think you are lying, but I do think you were given incorrect information.
@VolsDoc81TX - Could you comment on this with your medical expertise?
I apologize in advance because I respect you and your posts, but there is no scenario where anybody would have both kidneys removed and be sent home. Not here, not in any country in the world. It just is not possible.
