[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 548589, member: 84"] I hear ya Witz. I have my Mom telling me if I'd just drink cranberry juice by the gallon, and it's not just my mom but any medical/non medical person who has no clue about my kidney disease (um well one of them) telling me the same.....that all my issues will be solved. Well, now, if that were the case I think I'd have done it more than 20 yrs ago thankyouverymuch. But the calcium found in cranberries (aka cranberry juice) [B]my[/B] body happens to turn into stones......and no way in hades am I going down that road again. I've been stone free since my early 20's. Having a cardiologist question why I take Lasix twice a day as if I'm doing so for the fun of it, then arguing with me when I told her my [B]nephrologist[/B] scripted them that way for a reason........Well, I just got up and walked out of her office. I mean, c'mon, seriously??? Since that dude didn't want to believe me either and tested me every which way but up, I think perhaps he might know wth he's doing. omg That one killed me. Now who in their right minds would take one of the strongest water pills for the fun of it?? Cuz you like to run to the john 50 plus times a day?? (I don't, I'm lucky if I go twice WITH the darn things) sheesh! It really irks me no end because if a person in pain lets that pain build and build because they are trying not to use the medication? Then they finally take it? It not only doesn't work as well, but it takes a much longer time to do so. Can't tell you how many patients have tried to hold out suffering for the horrid fear of addiction.......then gave in......then had to wait an additional hour or more for the medication to finally take effect. When if they'd just asked when they needed it the blood level of the medication wouldn't drop to nothing and would remain steady in the blood stream and they wouldn't suffer like that in between doses. And when they do that, they fuss at the nurse because it's not working fast enough. ugh [/QUOTE]
