Kidney stones - it was the worst pain I had ever felt in my life

I had my first kidney stone (and hopefully my last!) a few months ago.  It was the worst pain I had ever felt in my life.  I went to the ER and $1,200 later all I was given was some pain medication.  I ended up getting a UTI, which was awful, because I constantly felt like I had to pee and couldn’t.  My best friend had MMS and gave me some of hers in two little glass viles for me to use.  After a few days of using MMS, the pain from the UTI went away and I’m not sure exactly what happened but I didn’t even pass the stone because I’m convinced the citric acid broke up and destroyed that mother effer!   I haven’t had an issue since and just purchased more!!
