al/ck/ thread, kidney edition

My paternal Grandpa lived for 85 years with only one. The doctors didn't even know he was born with just one

He runs a horse farm, or at least did, but you can't charge a sick man for a fucking kidney this aint china

They're gonna stick a huge ass diameter 24 gauge needle in my arm and scrape around until they get what they need

I can drink with just one kidney, my grandpap did it for years

This has been my 2nd day sober, tomorrow (Monday) might be sober as well if I can but if I end up drinking, I won't be particularly disappointed.

Last thread

I hope you all make it. ;-;

To hell you mean right?

After fucking that prostitute I am going to spend all week sketching out due to a fear of contracting an STD. Will probably go to the sexual health clinic next weekend to get blood/urine tests to sooth my hypochondria. About three liters of beer would be good right now.

What kind of hooker let you fuck her without a condom?

I fucked her with a condom. Only the oral was unprotected.

i keep thinking about getting a hooker, but for the very reason i do not

Honestly it's not worth it. Every time I do it I regret it and hate myself for it but it feels really nice to be touched by another human being once in a while.

am I gonna get drunker more faster with only one kidney?

and can some MDs or nurses chime in here and describe what its like to get my bone marrow taken out

I was the one who ended up in the hospital for about 5 days with acute pancreatitis after a 10 day bender. Ended up giving in Friday night and drinking, then drank all day Saturday.

Woke up this morning with chest pains and a really bad hangover. My body just can't handle this shit anymore.

>al/ck/y
>rotting, yellow teeth
>full dental benefits
>still won't get them fixed

If the cause of pancreatitis is alcohol, cessation of alcohol consumption and treatment for alcohol dependency may improve pancreatitis. Even if the underlying cause is not related to alcohol consumption, doctors recommend avoiding it for at least six months as this can cause further damage to the pancreas during the recovery process.

I have fluid leaking INTERNALLY in several areas of my body including arms, legs, thighs, pelvic area, lower and upper back and my butt cheeks especially the right cheek. It even feels as if my right cheek is getting bigger than the left. It feels like fluid comes out of nowhere at some point and %50;of the time it strides or leaks down a bit from where it came from .

Is this a kidney issue????

I have abused alcohol but since a child I abused drugs and eventually hard drugs rigorously.

Don't tell me to go to the doctor I don't have insurance yet.

Yeah I know. I had been sober for about 15 days, then something in me snapped and I couldn't control the urge. Definitely regret it.

You are a fucking idiot to give away your kidney, that's 10-15 years off your life and a whole heap of problems, how do you drink with one kidney you don't. be ashamed to ask a niece/nephew for a kidney.
Get an opinion from a GP about giving up a kidney you fucking moron.

What about an after hours clinic? They're usually affordable.

Please stop asking the question. I've been to doctors already . I am in major debt. No insurance. I already dropped cash on doctor's visits for other stuff and they want to do things I cannot afford. I've mentioned this several times to my primary care and they are just baffled.

My psychiatrist however says it could be a kidney or liver issue from fluid retention?

I mean it's possible. We bloat when we abuse alcohol for a reason.

This is a life and death kind of thing man. You need to get in the habit of just knocking yourself out with pills whenever you get the urge to drink. Alone on a Friday? Eat sleeping pills and pass out before you drink. Boring Saturday? EAT PILLS.

>tfw parents visiting and can't drink heavily

FUCK

I would like to know this too anybody with bad kidneys know ?

they don't have a room for you to hide in?

I don't really want to rely on something else. I have way too bad of an addictive personality disorder.

My NEETbux require me to get help with the drinking, so we'll see how that ago. They even said they can pay for me to go into a 20 day program if it comes down to it.

I've had sex with about 250 prostitutes. In fact, I'll be going out to fuck one as soon as my guests leave. I fuck 2-3 a week.

Don't worry about it too much if you're using a condom. Unprotected oral sex as an extremely low transmission rate. Use a condom, don't fuck hardcore drug users unless you're chasing thrills and guard your valuables. Here if you need any advice.

Yeah I mean not "fun" sleeping pills. Just something that will knock you out. Take some antihistamines or something. You really need to not drink at all for at least six months here.

Assuming you're on no drugs.
Assuming you have no cancer.
Assuming the skin indents when pressed and returns to shape relatively quickly.
Assuming your abdomen isn't the focal site of the fluid.
Assuming it goes away by 36 hours.

Then it's fluid retention mediated by reduced ADH activity. No big deal.

If you also have face and stomach swelling, it could be liver damage.

If you're also experiencing non-drinking fatigue and shortness of breath, it could be your heart.

If it's none of those, kidney damage.


t. Med Student, take what I say with a grain of salt

Well, they're my guests, kinda. If I just went in to my room, it'd be strange.

Excuse yourself to the toilet and take a swig of mouthwash.

>wow user, you're teeth are always so clean!
>your breath smells so fresh!
>user, you have such good oral hygiene, look at you brushing your teeth six times a day!

I don't want to drink ever again if I can manage it. It's been 11 or 12 years of this shit and I loathe it.

Yeah I know I was saying "at least six months" because if I said "forever" it might discourage you. See, I know how it is when you want to quit but then the first thought that pops in your head is "Well what about New Year's? What about my wedding day? What about my birthday? What about the corporate party? And how will I celebrate my promotion?" etc etc etc. I don't know, maybe you aren't like that but I know I was always haunted by these thoughts whenever I'd think about quitting until I realized it was fucking poison. Now every time I want to drink I just remember what made me want to stop and it helps a little.

It doesn't really get too me too bad, at least not like the random urges do. I mean I spent Christmas around people who were drinking and I had no desire to.

Well I left out a major symptom. I'm leaking a clear fluid from my anus at an amazing rate. It's absolutely necessary that I wear diapers. I hear alot of fluid sounds in my abdomen. So yes I'm leaking internally and externally. I also have shortness of breath but I've smoked for 12 years. I've had this condition for 6+ months.

Could the abdomen be the focal point then?

Do u think it's kidney damage?

Also where is this gouid going to go?

Thank you

Meant to say
Where is this fluid going to go?**
Please lemme know

2-3 months ago I went to fuck a prostitute and I usually hate rubbers.

Well a lott into fucking her I was going soft. So I talked about ripping it off. She was cool but hiv+, and assured me that she was on antiviral therapy and considered undetectable. What do you think my chances of contracting it were? I stopped being paranoid, and still feel fine. I know I should get tested but just keep forgetting it.

The risk of contracting it as a male from vaginal intercourse is low and lower still if she was on antiretroviral medication but in your place I wouldn't have risked it. HIV is for life dude. Not worth getting your rocks off with a whore.

Definitely get tested and never do it again.

Get tested and keep getting tested, you fucking parasite. You can be positive and transmitting the disease but still be testing negative. If you don't take responsibility for this, you are the most detestable scumbag on the planet, and committing a federal crime that you can be sued and imprisoned for.

Jesus fuck what kind of shitbag are you? Jerking it to porn is better than using a rubber on some skanky HIV+ skeeze.

my negro

>tfw totally off the wagon now
fucking W E W L A D S

It's gonna be so awesome to start out from ground zero again, I don't even have any excuses and I don't give a fuck. Just gonna take my loss and go for another round of this bullshit once I sober up. Fucking hell.

...

I've been stuck with a 10 ga needle. You'll be fine.

Fuck ups happen user.
Just get back on that wagon and try again.

Philadelphia is imploding right now btw

Not the user you spoke with, but it sounds like a liver issue first, heart/kidney second. Maybe heart since you've been smoking and abusing hard drugs for a while.
Is your abdomen really big and unusually bloated feeling? Is your skin or eyes yellowish? Is there sweeling in your feet, calves, or ankles, and if you press down on your skin does it leave an indent for a few seconds?
Not sure about the rectal discharge, but it could just be the path of least resistance, or your bowels are just not absorbing any fluid you're drinking and its going right through.
You've got something bad going on, being fluid overloaded at a young age is a bad sign.

dumbass of dumbasses

That's because cheese steaks and roast pork sandwiches have finally been proven superior to clam chowder and lobster.

>eating out hookers

That's a level of self loathing I hope to never reach.

First off thank you very much for responding.
My abdomen is actually just how u described it. It's sort of tight.

My eyes and skin are not yellow.
No swelling it feet calves or ankles
My skin does not leave an imprint.

Yes I am 24 I know this is not good.
The fluid is clear.

What do you think is going on with me?
I can tell you I do often feel dhydated so I have to drink allot of water.

probably he got a blowjob and she has oral herpies

Medical student user again.

This guy is asking all the right questions.

Additional ones are: Do you have any itches? Are you losing weight even though you think you shouldn't? What drugs were you abusing?

It's hard to help you without a physical examination/ much more information.

I don't want to speculate on any serious conditions right now.

To be frank, although you said you can't go to the doctor for financial reasons, you should unless you have immediate plans to get insurance. In debt and alive vs debt free and potentially dead.

Fuck. What a damn day.

Woke up with my gf and dog and was hungover/minor WD but overall okay. Went and got a few drinks at lunch and then hopped a flight up to pittsburgh. Had one beer on the flight and then picked up my car.

Roads were totally shit and I don't have snow tires. Hour and a half drive with mod WD in a fucking snow storm.

I know many of y'all aren't religous or have some disdain for the institution, but i was fucking praying the entire time. It was so scary guys. Was afraid I was gonna spin out and crash off the road. Got home safe though and immediately bought a sixer of tallboys to kill the fear.

This life is so rough guys. I gotta sober up. My upper left abdomen hurts when I take a deep breath. I was in Miami last week for work and just got smashed every night. Fuck.

no fucking way what are the chances you pick the HIV hooker

Life has fucked you m8

what the fuck dude. why would you do this to yourself? become celibate.

Hooker user here.

I'll be up front as my mentors in the Hobby have been with me.

You made a huge fucking mistake. You exposed yourself to someone based on their word that they're undetectable. You don't know what other STDs they had, their moral character or any ill-intent. You should be disgusted with your reckless behavior.

Get tested now. Get tested 4 weeks from now. Then 8 weeks from now.

It's not something we're supposed to talk about, but we all bareback. If you are going to bareback, make sure you have her paperwork, know the person in question very very very well, are on PreP or are willing to accept the fact that you may have HIV.

Fuck off, you judgemental idiot. You just discouraged condom use between two consenting adults. You're the shitbag here. I understand the point you're attempting to raise, but you're doing it while being an absolute fool. The latest literature on HIV suggests undetectable = unable to transmit, so your logic is flawed. On top of that you're unnecessarily sanctimonious. Shut the fuck up.

No itches.
I'm not losing weight.
I have been finding white substances in my poop. People online told me it's fat.

I was abusing Meth, XTC, Xanax, Adderall, Marijuana, some pains pills, I was also IV abusing meth. I have smoked cigs since 12 abused meth and pills for about 6 years or som currently sober.

My last visit was the GI doctor cost me $75. He wants to do a colonoscopy. How for the external leakage. I cannot afford the colonoscopy. I don't think I can get it and pay after Can I? If so I will consider it. It will cost $1500. That I don't have.

What comfy youtube channels do y'all watch?

The Carpetbagger is one of my all time favorites. He visits tourist traps and narrates them. Sometimes he goes with his daughter and it's just so fucking comfy. He seems like a cool guy. I wish I was sober and functional.

>youtube.com/watch?v=wj5VzBLDdmo

In the last thread he said he went down on her. Wewlad

last time i checked the actual transmission rates of HIV via various bodily fluids are pretty low, but still possible

Ty user

Yes I'll get tested asap. It's hard when I'm working 9 to 11pm every day. But my company has losing people left and right. So it's hard not to pick up on the extra money

Real Russia
youtube.com/watch?v=69pe_qmsbGE

I'm the shitbag here? I'm telling him to jerk off rather than fuck a hooker with an incurable, infectious, and life-threatening disease. He wants to go bareback, then man up and develop an honest relationship with trustworthy partners.

Fuck you, and fuck him. He knows there's even a slight possibility of infection and transmission, and wants "bros" to tell him he's okay while willfully refusing to get tested and re-tested for at least a year. "I keep forgetting" my ass, he's a fucking scumbag, and you're a scumbag enabler for telling him everyone does it.

Honestly, both of you are lower than scumbags, since scumbag is literally a word for a used condom.

I'm just a dumb medical student alcoholic who happens to be sober right now, but I am fairly confident you have liver damage. A fatty stool in combination with ascites ( stomach swelling) and other symptoms. What I know nothing about is your ass leaking, since you say it's clear non-bloody, non-purulent. It's likely you have multiple issues occurring at once and potentially across organ systems. See a doctor as soon as you can and explain your situation. You may go into debt, but be safe and alive user.

When he orders the appropriate panel, he/she will be able to easily explain what's happening. I'm sorry you have to go through this and incur these costs and this situation.

Be safe and try to be happy as you focus on being healthy. At 6 months of symptoms, you need to rapidly accelerate your health timeline.

russian women are so beautiful

He's been schooled on what his testing schedule should be appropriately. I've pointed out the lack of information, honesty and accepting risk. Nobody has told him he's okay. It's a fact that everyone who engages in regular paid encounters with women occasionally doesn't use a condom. In doing so, you have to minimize your risk profile and accept the consequences.

Nothing in my most makes me a scumbag, I'm pushing for a realistic and ethical approach to fucking hookers.

I'm assuming at the core your revulsion is a disagreement with the concept. He's been admonished for being irresponsible and advised about a testing schedule/reducing risk.

You lack any form of reasonable basis for the arguments you're currently making.

Regardless, I apologize for calling you names and I hope you have a nice day and a fulfilling life. I mean it. Assuming you have the issues that most in these threads do.

Fair enough, Apology accepted, and I apologize in return. For the record, I've been in committed relationships, open relationships, one-night stands, so I'm no prude. I have hung around IV drug users and know exactly how lax and deceitful people can be. Also for the record, I don't have it near as hard as some of the guys in al/ck/ do, though I am borderline high-functioning. I lurk these threads to remind myself to set limits, and to offer advice where I can to people on the road to alcoholism.

I do maintain that it's grossly irresponsible to put yourself at risk and refuse to get tested or be dishonest about possible risks to other people. I know chances are low, but permanent, infectious, life-threatening diseases are not something one person gets to gamble on for another.

>I do maintain that it's grossly irresponsible to put yourself at risk and refuse to get tested or be dishonest about possible risks to other people. I know chances are low, but permanent, infectious, life-threatening diseases are not something one person gets to gamble on for another.

We 100% agree here. It's not fair at all to choose another person's fate. As I said in my initial post, he should be disgusted by his reckless actions. He doesn't know her nor should he trust her.

You and I are on the same wavelength with al/ck/ issues.

Thanks.
What do you mean rapidly accelerate my health timeline? You mean just get better?

Also do you think I can get the colonoscopy and pay after with no health insurance?

I also do deal with a chronic pain in my rectum. So here's the bit 3.

Chronic pain in anus.
Chronic leakage that's is clear.
Fluid leaking internally in several areas.

Honestly I'm scared for my life. Could I die?

Also can you tell me where the internal leakage might be going? Does it stay inside forever?? Or come out somehow?

Don't worry about dying, friend. Worry about getting healthcare. By rapidly accelerate I mean don't waste any more time. First thing tomorrow, make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible, say it's an emergency. If they can't accomodate you, call different doctors. Make getting the help you need your NUMBER ONE priority. You need to be in front of a physician by Wednesday the latest. You need to explain in brutal detail your past, your symptoms and your fears.

You can probably get the colonoscopy yes, but just make sure you tell your doctor EVERYTHING and they will advise you.

Two groups of people to never lie to are your personal doctor and your lawyer. Tell the TRUTH, user.

Be well, and rapidly pursue care.

Not that medical student user, but I have a masters in biomed and took some physiology/health shit at med school level. I would say you should definitely follow up with this regardless of price. Being poor is better than being dead.

You're retaining fluid for whatever reason. It's either your heart, kidney or liver or a combination of all 3 imo. If you have hepatic portal blockages due to a sclerotic liver you would most def bloat and have fluid retention but it wouldn't be that much a mystery. I sort of wonder if you have some heart or kidney issue man.

Go get checked dude. You know it's not normal to be pissing out of your ass and selling. Do you have swelling anywhere else?

Wishing you the best, user. We're all in the same shitty boat.

The problem is with the G.I. doctor I was referred to that I payed out of pocket for was very disinterested in what I was saying. He was also sort of nodding out like he was high on pain pills and not paying attention to me. I spent my Christmas money on that doctors appointment. I typed out a 3 page report for him to read all about what I'm experiencing. And he said just to get the colonoscopy . He didn't even read the whole thing and asked me questions which I already had the answer to on there. I've already seen physicians and they just refered me to that GI doctor they said there is nothing else they can do for me .

What kind of specialist might I want to see if the colonoscopy shows nothing. And it turns out it's my heart or liver o kidneys?

No swelling anywhere else as far as I know. But allot of this internal fluid is going into my right butt cheek and it certainly is feeling bigger then my left but visually it doesn't look much different

What kind of specialist should I seek for kidney or heart issues?

Ok I will call about the colonoscopy and see if I can pay after the procedure and not before.

Also can you please tell where this internal leaking is going to do? Is it going to leave some how? Will I need surgically removed? Might it come out my skin or something ? I'm scared it's building up inside me

Oh I forgot that was today. What happened?

Cardiologist or nephrologist but those appointments will take weeks to book. ER will be expensive but I would really reccomend going to an urgent care facility and have your BUN, creatinine, ALT, ASP, ANP run at the minimum. Ask for a CBC, CMP and cardiac enzymes.

Get this shit figured out.

Am i on the right track?

So basically your heart and kidneys are very intricately tied together. Your kidneys are like a sponge that your blood flows through and it filters out all the garbage while reabsorbing the stuff it needs. The rate of that filtration is dependent upon 1.) the pressure being applies via the heart aka your blood pressure and 2.) the nature and construction of the kidneys themselves.

I'm not exactly sure about your case and again, I am not a doctor just some dude with a masters in biomed on the internet, but with most swelling cases it occurs around the ankles and lower extremities because the heart is weak and not able to push fluid through the kidneys or the kidneys are reabsorbing too much water due to a hormonal issue associated with ADH/Aldosterone.

Basically you're not going to pop. Something is just making you retain water in places you shouldn't. Hang in there and go to the doctor ASAP.

We don't have urgent care facilities here but I've been to the E.R. several times for this and they always take blood tests and so did my primary care. One of the cats from my primary care revealed I had Hepatitis C for which I am taking medications for now.

I will pop the question about those labs you mentioned. I screenshotted them.
Thanks very much man.
Yeah it's just crazy leaking everywhere even off my rib cage. Fuck

Philly won it in the last two minutes. Pats made a desperate attempt to recover, but couldn't go the distance in the end. Tight game too, It was never more than one possession away from the lead changing hands. I'm not even a football fan, but it was exciting to watch if you picked a team to root for.

Well my ankles and feet seem fine. Lil fat in my legs but I'm not fat.
Thanks man. Pray or something for me

It's unbelievable they didn't admit you. People don't leak.

If you do decide to go to the ER i would demand they admit you. Worst case scenario just threaten to kill yourself and then they have to baker act you and you'll have 72 hours of medical treatment.

American medical institutions are a fucking nightmare. Wishing you the best my dude.

Try and taper off a little if you can and see if it improves regardless of everything.

>have extreme kindney (area) pain for a month, literally wake screaming every night multiple times, post this
Cool coincidence.

Sounds like the game was rigged. Faker than professional wrestling man

You got it. Google ascites. It very well could be some form of that if you're a hard al/ck/ the fact that you don't have pitting edema in your feet bodes well for your heart and kidneys.

Maybe I should try to be admitted I don't know. Last time I went they just said they found no evidence of fecal incontinence. I never complained of fecal incontinence. IDK . Really stresses me out

if it makes you feel any better look at what the human body can tolerate before it kicks the bucket.

Oh no my tummy is not bloated like that at all. It just feel kinda hard and sometimes fucked up sometimes after I eat. I wouldn't want to live if I looked like that.

Okay I'm all out of alcohol tryna be sober. Sounds easy right? You just don't go buy more. Laziness = soberness
Problem is I like feel like I'm on a mission and need to buy this shit. Don't know how to counteract that

>Get tested now.
I barebacked a qt3.14 as FUCK 19yo blonde hooker a few years ago, then panicked the next morning. I was literally her first customer so she was very nervous, and she was so ludicrously far out of my league that I just didn't ask, I just began fucking her. Panicked the next day and got on PEP meds, which reduces the chance of infection by like 85$ if you start taking them within 24hrs of exposure. Antibodies even if you're infected though, won't show up for 6 months. No point getting tested yet.
Fug, I also barebacked a heroin addicted 20yo accidentally - condom broke, and a street whore, same shit happened. Still negative, but every time it happens I spend 6 months panicking.

One day you're going to have to accept that some people do in fact, yaknow, do things, user. I don't get why some people think that because you've got an internet connection, you're a virgin who hasn't lived.

Eat like a motherfucker. You'll still crave for a while, but a small part of it will be your body being used to lots of empty calories. Keep fucking eating to keep yourself occupied and real food moving in and out.

While you're at it, figure out some healthy snacks you like. Vegetables and dip; mixed nuts; cheese, crackers, and salami; small salads; water and juice; soup in a thermos; anything like that. You'll be over-eating like a motherfucker, but at least it'll be actual proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Don't screw yourself with cookies and chips and shit, you'll just trade one problem for another.

>and she was so ludicrously far out of my league

imagine thinking that some person who takes cocks in their ass for a living is out of your ""league""

jesus how old is that girl?

She was a size 8, blonde teenager. grils like that are practically from another species, literally the most desirable thing in the known universe

also i'm asking this because i'm disgusted and these girls are way too young. seek help.

Might be an alcoholic but at least i'm not a fucking pedo.
