I’m bummed you’re being downvoted.
Hi. Human here. I have never had a kidney stone. I have worked in healthcare.
Some people are absolutely just fucked. It’s just the luck of the draw. I’ve seen it a handful of times; a person’s diet is completely controlled, they do everything right, and they get fucked anyway.
One person I knew did everything right and had them once a month anyway. I asked him why he was bothering with all the precautions and diet changes and intake rules, and he said, “Because they’re the difference between one a month and three a week.”

Yeah the issue I have is genetic and typically presents itself in males around 30 but it started when I was 9. We can’t trace it to anyone in my family though but it probably just skipped a few generations. I still do a low sodium diet but with my diuretics I don’t really need to worry about it too much. Killing my liver but it is what it is yk. It could certainly be worse
