*** Quoting WAYNE CHIRNSIDE from a message to CINDY HAGLUND ***

 -> hmm yeah.. I have a relative who has those now... is there really any
 -> way to prevent them? Diet?

 WC> I've heard a lot of cranberry juice helps, don't know if true or not.

 WC> I passed a stone once and it put me into shock for 45 minutes before
 WC> I could stand again.

Boy Wayne! I had one a couple of years ago.. It was Brutal, I know what you 
mean. Even shots of morphine, helped while I was in emergency, but it still 
hurt. Sent me home with pills and it was worthless. They say a women could 
understand the pain, if they have been through labor. It kind of lets us know 
what women go through. Once it is passed, it's a great relief. It took me 2.5 
days and I hated it.

I also understand they had a lot of excuses as to the causes of it, but In 
emergency, the Dr. told me, they really don't know. And if you're going to 
have one, you are going to have one. No real sure way to prevent it. I had 
heard of the cranberry Juice too.

Have a good One!
Mike
