Thank you for sharing! I have a stent and will be having a nephrostomy placed. The stent has been very painful and docs seem to think that's unusual. I'll have to have a bag for 4 months and was searching for a personal experience. I'm grateful for your share!!!!

I have hydro nephrosis due to ureteral stricture and was advice to have a stent for 1 year and then test the response of my kidney after that. reading the comments here makes me want to take the prior offer of another doctor which is to cut the stricture in my ureter and have a stent for just 2 weeks rather than endure 1 year of stent. any recommendations based on your personal experience?

That's brilliant..well done...

You get your mineral back from the foods you eat

Unfortunately my distiller does not have any charcoal filter.

I have the same Distiller, very happy with it so far. A little bit more expensive than the regular ones you find at Amazon but it's nice very worth it 😊

Watching your video, I have stent inside will remove next month.

I found this really fascinating , especially the connection to OCD , anxiety and stress. I’ve done this since childhood also , but didn’t know it had a name. I could totally relate to not wanting little bumps etc and compulsively trying to remove them. My Dad was always saying “Don’t pick your face!” I’m now over 70 and have a disorder caused by a worn out nervous system. I also share your history with period pain and anxiety. My daughter is in her 30s and has the same symptoms. We also each have a Devon Rex cat and find their cuddles so supportive, which brought me to your channel. By the time you’re my age maybe they will figure out what causes these life long syndromes. My daughter and I have had successful careers and few know of these problems but thank you so much for sharing your story! Marley is adorable, as is our Roxy who is a black and white bi-color with green eyes.

The stents are awful. They want me to get a stent even though I don’t have stones bc of how much pain I’m in. I am hate the stents

could of bought a water softener and under the sink filter system

In Australia The local news just reported that the normal tap water has been identified to have a cancer causing chemicals kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGSnhpSZiNpmopIsi=IXKkCfvOKXVO5XXy

A lot less harsh on the teeth as well, just a small benefit but it's cool. I switched for 2 weeks and felt superhuman.

Chloramine in the tap water goes into the distilled water. Only way to get rid of it is by disposing the first 100 ml of distilled water.

Bless your heart. Nobody understands how PAINFUL kidney stones are, until they have it. It feels like labor pain. It's unimaginable pain. I just had my first stone at 43. I had to have a stent, and it came out a few days ago. Miserable experience. My heart breaks for you, honey. I can't imagine what you've went through. Bless your heart.

I take both mine out today… this process of having stents since march has been so depressing. The pain, the feeling of not being able to do as much as you use to. It’s just been a lot. I plan on doing a lifestyle change though. Especially within my diet. May not stop these stones from reoccurring. But it’s worth trying

Im on week six with my stint and its so terrible I have to pee all the time and it burns so bad. I go in in 6 days to get my 6mm stone removed. I tested negative for a uti I thought thats why it hurt so bad.

Great Results! Sounds like you need a new dentist.

I got stents put in for kidney stone Been 4 days. First Dr said remove in 2 days. Then said 4 days. I’m in so much pain. I want to take it out now. I have the string to remove at home. I’m just scared to pull

Distilled water removes washes out inorganic minerals - all those creating stones everywhere. It also cleans your joints, your eyes, ypur pineal gland, your body from all the toxic shit that our beloved food and pharmaceutical companies force us to ingest !

Update?

Start watching Dr berg he has some good videos relating to kidney stones he has helped me so much. I wish you all the best 😊

My stent is due to come out in a week but at the minute I’m suffering with swollen upper abdomen feeling uncomfortable all the time….i have a on going calcium build up in my kidney so develop kidney stones (large) all the time is the uncomfortable feeling in tummy normal did you get it?? Can’t wait to have it out I like you really don’t like stents they are my enemy!!!!lol

I also had a stent removed 2 months ago. NO pain AT ALL. South Africa🙏

How much distilled water do you drink per day ?

I would say the first 2 weeks were awful. I felt so many bladder and muscle spasms that felt like birth contractions. The last week was a lot better but still uncomfortable!

You wouldn't put tap water in a battery or radiator due to impurity's. So why drink water with impurity's. I've been drinking still water for over 10years now. Tap water is only good for cleaning only. Use citric acid to clean the scale.

I am experiencing frequent urination and constipation. When I urinate, I feel a balloon-like sensation on the left side of my abdomen and severe pain in my kidney. I still have one and a half weeks before my surgery to remove the stent. I am concerned about whether the pain will persist after the removal of stent. This discomfort is significantly affecting my ability to focus and concentrate. I would appreciate your expert opinion on this matter.

Thank you Ella for sharing your experience. I also have chronic kidney stones despite change of diet. I would love to talk with you sometime. Please feel free to contact me. God Bless!

Had a ureteroscopy 2 days ago to remove a stone. Unfortunately for me, it was discovered I had a ureteral stricture so the scope couldn't pass through my ureter to get to the stone. A stent was placed. I'm dying of pain. Cannot stand straight, walk or move, nauseous at times, no appetite, peeing blood constantly and it's painful to pee, back hurts, abdomen feels full and extremely bloated, lower pelvic area in constant pain and the side with the stent is throbbing, can't get comfortable in any position, can't sleep, can't do a thing, basically bedridden. My parents are doing everything, feeding me, bathing me, changing my clothes, helping me use bathroom etc. Pure hell. I have to go at least 2 weeks with it. I don't know how to cope that long. Painkillers aren't helping much 😢 There is a chance the stent won't be enough and I have to do some sort of balloon dilation procedure in 2 weeks to try and retrieve the stone. If that doesn't work, I have to do laser to cut the stricture. All because of an unnecessary stone 😡 God help me through this! 😢 P.S: I am glad you are doing well and over this whole ordeal. God bless and thanks for the video. Thought I was having complications but it seems it's all "normal" with stents. You put my mind at ease so thanks a lot for sharing. My doctor gave me no info whatsoever about what to expect nor does he take my concerns seriously.

Shout out to your partner for helping out!! Decades of dealing with similar issues and it never gets easier but someone to lean on is priceless. Let’s all remind ourselves how lucky we are to live in this age of modern medical marvels. Surely even a few decades to a hundred years or so ago kidney blockage/stone pain issues were, well…likely midevil for a lack of a better term. Keep fighting the good fight! Much Love from Cali ✌️

hello, to all who see, do you drink distilled? I need to know, please say if you are joking

Omg still 14 days to go, 😢

Beautiful lady, beautiful teeth! I'm about to start my Invisalign journey at age 55.

"Dr. Sten Ekberg" KZbin channel has tons of great information about health, I hope it will help you a lot.

Is it normal to feel pain when removing your stent? I tried removing it myself but it felt like it got caught on something and was too painful it was like my body did not want it to get out 😔 would you recommend I go to the ER or see my surgeon.

I know this is two years old and I am so sorry of the pain you experienced. I too had double j stints in each kidney. Started with the neph tubes in my back for 6 months, then the stints went in. All this because of cancer and blocking my uter tubes. Was told they could control the spasms with meds, get them put in then get told we can’t give you anything because of your reduced kidney function. So, o thing in the bladder for 6 months then two stints rubbing. I have never ever experienced such agony, constant agony, worse when I pee which is like all the time. I agree, docs should be honest and tell us this could suck. These are coming out in 48 hours, I will take my chances, I have a shit life right now and cannot even walk.

God bless you for sharing. We have a decision to make. You are so Awesome!!!

I have to keep mine in for two weeks 😢 Thanks for sharing, you uad me in tears with how relatable it feels. Im only at day 2 lol

I love it !! 😂

Absolute gorgeous cat. I have half debated adopting this bread myself but will admit if I get another pedigree it will be another Maine coon. I find the bigger the cat, the more chill they are. Hope you got him a friend 😂 I mean you have to get another one, right?

Awful. So glad to know I’m not alone!

SO JELLY OF YOU. You have broad shoulders like me but somehow you make it look feminine, like a runway model.

I have kidney stones all the time and have had so many surgeries and have stents put in .this last surgery was March 21st and I had my stent removed on the 27th but this time a have had really bad bladde spasms and i have been bleeding and blood clots so does that help with all of that ?

Wow, I am so fortunate that I was not in any pain while the stent was in place. I knew what a cystoscopy was like since I had gone over 20 years before. This time after a kidney surgery, I was not told until two days afterward, that I had a stent put in.I found a urologist who would remove the stent under general anesthesia because I would never let anyone do a cystoscopy again without that I realize that for some reason the procedure is not that painful but for enough patience, it is excruciating

Damn english water is way worse than scottish water. My distiller looks nowhere near as bad as that after a few weeks. Its still bad though.

So glad you’re drinking distilled water! Be sure and change the charcoal filter. It catches any chemicals that survives the condensation. It’s important to catch the VOCs.

WOW, hate to hear your experience and all the other peoples experience. I have had one for four weeks and the only thing I have been urinating a lot. I thank God for that. Praying if you have to have another your experience if better.

I had my stent removed last Tuesday. I hated the stent! It was in there for 2 weeks and I urinated blood the entire time it was in there and kidneys ached and throbbed the whole time. Every time I urinated, it felt like someone was squeezing my testicles. I felt nauseous and clammy the entire time. The removal was pretty painful, but it didn’t take but like 10 seconds or so. Once it was out, I felt like a brand new man! I was finally able to pee and feel like it all came out.

I have a Cornish. They are Velcro cats like the Devons.

I have stomach cramps since the Stent has been in. Anyone else experience that?
