I started all of my new supplements on Thursday morning last week. Thursday afternoon I started to get a dull ache in my kidneys. By that evening the ache became more of a throbbing. I knew that there was something with the supplements that was causing an issue so I took myself off one to see if the throbbing would subside.
Friday things intensified, so I took myself off another supplement hoping that I would find out which one might be causing the pain. I emailed my ND but didn't hear back from her right away. Things were even worse that night.
On Saturday I began to have severe pain. I couldn't barely bend over, the pain was shooting down my legs; it was awful. I called the ND and she was really concerned and we decided to have me stop everything and see her the next day. So yesterday, Sunday, she met me after church and we are starting over with the protocol. This time adding only 1 supplement in at a time, every 4 days.
The conclusion came down to two things:
- too much calcium for my kidneys in the other remedies
- a viral kidney infection
The steps now are:
- start 1 t. baking soda in water 3 times a day to neutralize my pH without using calcium
- a blood test
- treat the viral infection
- introduce a magnesium supplement
My pain has subsided as I have been off of the calcium now for 36 hours. I am tired but the acidity in my urine kept me up for awhile this morning. I took some baking soda in water (awful to get down but hoping it will help) and I hope to get back to sleep soon.
