Came back from the doctors...

My....ermm.."Private Area"(Yes, I know that sounds stupid) was hurting so I went to the doctor. They had to take a sample of my urine and the only problem is that I have little crystals that could result into kidney stones. There's also a small infection, which was caused by the water here. :glare:

The worst part is that the city water won't be added until around july, so I'm stuck with crappy water for a while here.

It's not like the crystals hurt me, I have to just drink a lot more water for them to go away. The infection I have to put subscribed ointment on.

Wait. One. Moment. I understand that to prevent kidney stones, you need to drink more water and less salty drinks as to basically flush out and disintegrate what is being built up before it gets too bad. Yet, you have an infection because of the water of where you're at. So you have to drink more of that water that is spawning an infection while treating said infection?

lolwut?

It's called buying bottled water. You're not even supposed to drink tap water from like anywhere.

We drink from pure water we buy from home depot, sorry I should have included that.

Most bottled water is just purified tap water. If you buy a good water filter to either attach to the nozzle, or use one of those special jugs with the water filter in the top, you should be good to go unless your water is especially bad.

UK tapwater is fine (at least everywhere I've been (although in Ireland I was told not to drink the tapwater, but that was the part of Ireland that isn't in the UK and their bottled water was so disgusting I'd probably have preferred drinking the tapwater)). I have heard that you shouldn't drink the water in most european countries though.
 
City water is crap. One of the cities very near to me (Riverside, California) routinely ranks top 5 or "better" in worst municipal water supplies in the whole nation. Unfortunately bottled water isn't cheap, and often is just bottled tap water too. Most distilled water here is bottled in my hometown, probably just city water boiled.

More like poop to be honest. The sewage system here craps out a lot so we get brown water sometimes.

Oh man, no water filter will ever fix that. Disgusting.

That's why we've been under a boil alert for over a month. Since they have to replace the pipes, all the crappy water comes here, and since it's the only water I can bathe in, the doctor said to either take baths only sometimes a week or go to someone elses to take a bath.
 
I'm pretty sure my friend had the same problem. He was told to pick up a prescription after he went for tests and everything, and ultrasounds.. he just said "fuck it". And he's alright now.

actually , city water is good , if you're area has a supported water system . over here it's safe enough to drink from the tap , but we just use Brita to purify it just incase . however , we still drink through bottled water . but what's bad is that some areas are too small / not populated enough to have a dedicated water system . instead , their water is just too dangerous to drink with it being none-clean etc .

get better soon . odd though , crystals . i've heard of peeing out bits of a kidney stone though . you may possibly be consuming too much sodium as well and not enough water .

In all seriousness, this is very serious. I guess do what you've been doing, but add more water to the mix. Oh, and if you're parents can afford is, industrial water filters may be a good investment.

We mostly drink water we buy in 5 gallon jugs from home depot. We just bought 3 this month, so it should last us a while.

The doctor also said that infection was called "a infected hair" so that's why I was subscribed special oniment to put on it.

Infected hair? Never heard of that. You sure it's not ingrown hair?

no, because there's also a little bulg right beside it that the doctor said was a small infection. My mother has the same thing, but more serious that it's hard for her to walk sometimes.
 
Sucks man. One of the reasons I'm not looking forward to leaving this island of mine... mountain purified water tastes like awesome.

Also, you ever seen that machine built for Haiti water? I saw it on Extreme Makeover Home Edition and it purifies any water using a ton of filters. It took nasty black water and gave crystal clear water that one of the crew members demonstrated by drinking it. You might wanna buy one of those :P
