The new Kidney matters

[Jameskbt]

Has anyone read the Autumn Kidney Matters Magazine?.

The article about Kidney stones was fascinating, had no idea they could be so large and the damage they can do.

Also didnt realise they actually are solid mineral stones 😮

Recently diag. with kidney stones so your post caught my attention. Looks like this mag. is a U.K. publication and I live in U.S.

However, Google listed other kidney/digestive mags. and one online free I just signed up for is from: kidney.org/patients/kidneyl.... This one appears monthly and also offers kidney friendly recipes. Thanks for your post because it lead me to another source of kidney info.

Kidney.org is the USA equivalent of kidney life. The Kidney life mag also has cooking recipes and ideas.

Im glad my post prompted you to find kidney.org!. 🙂

My son is 23 in January and from the age of 16 he has up to now had 5 kidney stones. The doctors in our hospital have never known a child of 16 to have stones let alone the size his first one was 12 mm now that’s a big one for your first xxx

They do say for a man passing a kidney stone will be the closest he will ever come to experiencing the pain of child birth cazzy. And 12mm, that is alot of stone 😖

It sure is James. He is a big strapping lad and to see him on his knees breaking his heart almost killed me. I wished it was me going through it not him xxx
