did anybody get kidney stones with treatment????

Kidney stones are related to low magnesium.
Lyme Disease causes low magnesium.
My dad was getting kidney stones about every seven years. After I learned about Lyme, I recognized many of his symptoms...he had already died by then.
I got a kidney stone about ten years ago. I'm supplementing magnesium, so I'm hoping that will prevent any more.

I don't know if I got them from Lyme Disease, but I do have Kidney Stones. I also have gallstones- but at this point in time they are asymptomatic so no treatment for them. However-I feel like my gut is a ticking time bomb and any day now I'm going to wind up having my gallstone removed. Russian Roulette.

Yes, I have had kidney stones 3 times. Twice while pregnant, pre-lyme diagnosis ( but quite sure I already had it, in retrospect), and 1x about 2 months into treatment for lyme. Interesting about the magnesium. I would do anything to avoid another round!

There are studies done where vitamin E will
dissolve and prevent kidney stones. I would look it
up and if you try it start slow and ramp up. I am at 1000 now.
