Kidney stones. Not only did passing the stones hurt like a bitch, but the medications they put me on to help deal with it sucked. I cannot take narcotics of any kind without getting violently ill, and I had to take hydrocodone for the pain. They did give me ondensatron, which is an anti-emetic meant for chemotherapy patients, and it helped a little, but most of the time I was passing the stones consisted of me puking due to the narcotics and the pain both or trying desperately not to puke because I'd just taken a pill and didn't want to waste it. I basically laid out on our futon in the living room like a zombie for three days, throwing up into a garbage can.
