Thats what my aunt says. I'm a guy I dont get to weigh in like that.

I know. I have been present when some family members were getting into a heated argument about the pain difference between the two. Very entertaining at least.

Loki broke out of his kennel and destroyed a few things in his room. Mostly boxes and substrate for the geckos and tarantulas that we have. He was trying to suck up.
So we've upped walks and he now has a pink doggie back pack.

 

[dantimdad]

So you named him Loki and you expect him to behave? LOL!!!

All the female nurses I've had said it's comparable or worse, especialy since you get a pebble at the end instead of a baby lol

Pain is also different from person to person.

*** I'd also like to add to all you kidney stone passers out there that I was told by my urologist that lemon is one of the few things that can prevent the formation of kidney stones. I wasn't about to drink lemon water every day, so I ordered dehydrated lemon pills from Seagate through Amazon. I take two in the morning. So far it's been the longest I've ever gone without passing a stone by two years (i was averaging once a year and it's been three). My last ct scan, the nurse said "you have a **** ton of stones in your kidneys." But they were all small. Since taking the lemon, I've felt minimal pain here and there which I think we're the small stones being passed.

Hear my advice! Could just be anecdotal, but it seems to be working very well for me. Stones won't deteriorate in your kidneys, but the acid in lemons prevents their formation. Lemons are also very healthy for your health and digestive track.

It must be because I know people who can't function when they have them. I get a little back ache and then they hurt for about 10 seconds when they pass.

Tearing three stomach muscles in half was MUCH more painful.

I really can't comment. I've never had a kidney stone.

First was 12 hours of the agonizing pain, second was only six... My last one 5 days! I took so many percocets... It was absolutely terrible.

Man that stinks @Murica I am glad I don't suffer like that.

But, to put it into perspective, I don't use pain killers or locals. I have given myself stitches when I played hockey. I set my own fingers or toes if I break one. :eek:;Wideyed

It's really weird the looks you get from medical people when you tell them "Just stitch it up, it's fine." LOL!

Hope you're all up to snuff today.

Do you have Meniere’s disease?

Bingo. That’s what they think anyway. I hope you don’t have it also.

 

[najer]

Anyone here have experience with longnose hawkfish?

How are they around cleaner / blood shrimp? Also other tank mates?
I hear bad from no experience but read not so bad from people with them.

My little pointy mate makes me smile all the time, very active and a great personality, I have a cleaner shrimp. :)

I know Norse god of mischief. I shouldn't expect any thing different. He is really living up to the name

Yeah, they're never fun. I'm the same way and think going to the doctor is just an unnecessary bill lol. Other than ibuprofen I'm the same with pain medicine. Mine get to the point where I feel like it's either that or dilaudid at the er.

I passed a couple of boulders last year. 10mm & 8mm. I only had pain at first. Not really painful passing them. Fortunately they were round and smooth. I firget now what their composition was. It took about a week or so to get them out. FlowMax helped a great deal. I have photos if you are interested. Ha!

mine was a jagged piece of rock.

Im usually near death by the time I seek medical care. The last time I finally gave in and went to urgent care for what I expected to be a scrip for an antibiotic turned into emergency surgery. Thought I had the flu... Turns out Id been walking around with a collapsed lung for the better part of two weeks.

Im not a good patient!

Haha, I think we both win the “He so dang Stubborn” award!

It turned out I had pneumonia, collapsed the lung from coughing so hard it ruptured some sacks of air that had been growing on the outside of the lungs. They gave me a giant dose of Ketamine and tubed me on the spot. What a ride Ketamine was.... talk about separating mind from body! Ill never forget that!

Had to have further surgery a few weeks later after the pneumonia cleared to remove the sacks of air that didn't rupture. Still cant sleep on my left side :(
