Life : I Hate Drugs

Posted by Compubomb On Aug 06, 2008 @ 6:32 pm | Visited ( 132 )

So, now that I'm over this kidney stone, after having taken some order of magnitude i think 10+ or so pills of vicodin in a 50 hour period i seem to have developed some kind of acetaminophen tolerance. Herein lies the problem, I normally take Tylenol Arthritis for my ankle during the day to help alleviate pain in my ankle and use Ibuprofen to work down the swelling as an anti-inflammatory. Now Tylenol is no longer working, and i fear it's because the dosage of the vicodin from the acetaminophen. I normally take only 1 to 2 doses per day, totaling like 700mg of acetaminophen, and roughly the same of ibuprofen. So.. Who knows, maybe I'm just in a bit more pain than normal. Drug abuse is one of those things i don't take lightly which is something i avoid as much as humanly possible. I'd rather push through it then numb it.

Life : Kidney Stones are fun!

So, earlier today, I passed a kidney stone the size of a small pebble. You wouldn't imagine something so small would wreak havoc on your kidney but your kidney is designed to excrete fluids, not solids. The process took me a whopping 50 or so hours during which I was mostly medicated on 5mg/500mg Vicodin. And no, I only took 1 at a time, totaling 10 pills during 50 hours, so roughly 1 pill every 5 hours or so. Vicodin sure does have a way of making you constipated, that is definately for sure. Anyways, that was fun, now I'm hopping the next time it happens is when I'm in a grave. At least then, I probably won't feel it.
