AURRRRGH!

Written as “Kidney Girl” on the original Cystinuria Blog · 1 min read

Namsatē,

Okay I spoke too soon again. The pain is back, and just as bad. Why do my kidneys still hurt? I wouldn't be whining like this if I thought this was stone pain. This feels more like angry swollen kidney pain. When I move, the kidney hurts. Especially when I twist.

No nausea, no edema. Hmm.

I was in so much pain last night that I started learning Punjabi to take my mind off of everything else. :/

ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਦੇਹ ਅਰੋਗਤਾ ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ੇ।
tuhānūṃ dēh arōgtā baḵẖshē.
