I’m young and thin, and have a good diet, drink lots of water, but I found out I have multiple kidney stones in both kidneys (and unexplained severe insomnia), do kidney stone flushes really work?

Have you seen results? I will have to use them long term for life.

I will be having shock waves in a few weeks if I can get appt.

In the future, I need herbs to stop formation of them before they turn to stones. So far diet change (I’ve eliminated so many things, I figured this would work), water, …is not working and I need extra help.

Are there any ayurvedic herbs or supplements that can help?

The urologist says I should not be getting them and thinks it is probably 3 different types forming.

I stopped low dose B-vitamins (50% RDA), and the extra B-2 (for migraines, worked great though!), and Phosphadyl serine (PS) supplements last month in case they worsened it? Could PS do that?

I am a student, so money is tight. in herbs a month is not possible.
Kelle- You are acting like I am overdosing or something and taking a bunch of things, and I barely took any, now I take none.

I asked for herbs and flushes to help bc I believe nature has an answer. But I wanted peoples experience who have this problem, not someone who is anti. Obviously I have been following guidelines and advice, and it is not working. I would like something natural in hopes it helps me, and I can avoid more stones and avoid lifelong Rx drugs that have side effects. I had crystals as long ago as 4 yrs ago. Have you ever had a stone?

I have to follow a strict diet and they told me to take a vitamin complex. They are low dose so I didnt get stomach problems and to help my body. I already went off them.

PS was added for memory and concentration bc I have always had problems with that area since I was 3. I am a student and hoped it would help my brain, like fish does. It did not say it could cause stones. But I went off that as well just in case it did.

I’ve had one before and the pain was sudden and intense. My grandmother is having pain which sounds similar but it has been increasing over the past week. Initially she was relatively pain free except for acute attacks. Now it seems that she is in a fair amount of pain all of the time (one accute attack last night but I don’t think any today). Heat/hot showers help (as they did with mine) but I can’t find anything that says that the pain of a kidney stone would build like that over time. She doesn’t go back to the dr. until Monday (he said it was muscular which it obviously is not) so I was hoping to figure something out before then. Thanks….
I already did a google search – i’m looking for personal experience (or merely an answer to the question I asked) and, as I said, she’s got an appointment Monday and I’m just worried so thanks so much…

Hello everyone. It turns out I have a stone in my right kidney, although the doctor did not tell me the size of it. He only said that I need to have Lithotripsy. I am interested in hearing your personal experience. Please only answer if you have had the actual treatment done. I know it’s not a big deal, but I am just kinda wondering what to expect.

Also, I am female if it matters.
