i learned a few years ago about the fact that when you get a donated kidney, they just slap that sucker in you and you still keep your old kidneys (i don't know if they make it not work?), i remember asking why don't they remove it, and i think the answer was, any surgery is trauma and removal is turnt up to 11, so just have mo kidneys working or not.
Only 4 ppl would qualify for my kidney, my mom, 2 sisters and wife (of course when we have kids too, even if it's a little shit).

So after my diarrhea/fever episode I took immodium. Wore off after a few days and the diarrhea was still kind of there. So I took a second dose. Wore off today and it's back.
Looks like I'll be talking to my doctor this week. No pain at all and not crazy frequent but enough to concern me. Worried for the worst - fissures, fistulas, CANCER, PARASITES

No since it occurred yesterday my doctor's office isn't open. It seemed to go away as soon as it started so I'm going to monitor it tomorrow and see if it happens again

Sorry I wasn't responding to the metamucil comment. I meant currently I'm not on anything outside my meds but I'll look into metamucil.

So are these butt pellets and/or the HCG shots supposed to make me pack on ten pounds of water weight? I've lost a belt notch and my face has become visibly fuller, despite not eating any more than usual. From what I'm reading it looks like it can be caused by estrogen production, but I don't have any other symptoms. I have my 4 week follow up blood test next week, but man I feel like a swole fuck right now.

Is it androgens in the butt pellets or something? I thought it was testosterone. But I didn't read it real close. I just saw butt pellets and giggled. Estrogen can cause water retention.
Talk to your doc next week, maybe he can give you a diuretic or something.

Excess testosterone can be converted to estrogen if you have too much aromatase activity. Testosterone and estrogen are almost identical except test has an extra methyl group that can be cleaved by aromatase (enzymes) that convert it to estrogen.
Dosing can be adjusted or you can try DIM supplements, or aromatase inhibitors (anastrozole) or just wait it out. Your doc should be able to help you figure it out.
My first month I gained about 10 pounds water weight but that went away.

So theres something wrong with what I now know to be my only kidney. Not sure what it is, but the pain in it is around an 8 or so and while it used to pulse in and out of that range now its staying there. I had to go in for an ultrasound of it tonight (mainly for pain management meds) and much like my CT i had of it, nothing shows out of the ordinary. My liver also tested high in a few categories. Tomorrow I go in to a kidney specialist to start the process of figuring out what is wrong, or if its not my kidney, just what the hell is going on.

stones maybe. You don't always pee out kidney stones. And they can get stupid big sometimes.
That tends to effect the bedridden though. so probably not. And it should have shown up on an ultrasound.
Hope it's nothing too bad. As in there's an affordable easy treatment for whatever it turns out to be.
