Day 34 - MY ER visit

I started my day off normally today with my usual green smoothie. I had gotten up and polished off the last 1/2 of the Dancing Dandelion smoothie I had yesterday.

I was sure I started my period today so I plugged and it hurt and I started getting some pain in my right side and some weird feeling in the downstairs area. So I took out my tampon and put in another..........the same thing happened so I just removed it permanently. As the night went on I was attempting to get ready for work and the pain in my side just kept getting worse and worse. The pain got so bad I fell to my knees and had a VERY hard time getting up. My grandmother had to rush me to the ER. Once we got there she had to put me into a wheelchair b/c I was unable to walk.

I was just hoping the pain in my sides was temporary and would go away for good instead of escalating to this.

I wanted to refuse any kind of medication but I was in excruciating pain and even though I tried to research pain in my side on a raw food diet I couldn't take the pain any longer and my search results were not helping, mainly b/c I didn't know what was going on.

I received an IV with a bag of fluids and they hit me up with some nausea and pain medicine. btw the pain got so bad I started vomiting. They did a CT on my lower abdomen and found a kidney stone which was well on its way of passing b/c of the position of the stone. They also found a cyst on my left ovary...........its been there for about 5 years or more, its harmless and that's why I haven't gotten it removed.

Today when I woke up I started researching kidney stones and a raw food diet...............not good. I did find some great natural remedies to use for my next kidney stone. Even though I have NEVER had kidney stones in my life, from what I've researched you are prone to get more when you are on a raw food diet, and this is probably the reason for my odd side pain that goes from one side to the next. Maybe b/c I'm not 100% raw, or something. I don't know what to think, I don't want to give up on raw or vegan but I'm hearing all this negative that its b/c I eat too many green leafy vegetables and that is over doing it on the calcium. But how can something so good cause something so bad and painful? I don't even think I get enough greens as it is. So I'd really like to know where this is coming from.

Oh, and my period stopped, so maybe I was just spotting again or the trauma from the stone caused it to stop. I'm doing a lot more research on these stones and a raw food diet, I'll keep posted as to my findings.
