I would definitely see a doctor, Nicole. If nothing else, he should be able to help it not hurt for as long.
Do you have good drugs and stuff like that in the meantime?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Can you stand the pain of going ever half hour?

I'm getting the pig!
I started feeling a little pain last night and it's just progressed since then. Now I'm getting close to the I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE stage. If I can make it to work in the morning, I'll call the doctor from there to get an appt. Right now, I can't even imagine getting behind the wheel of a car.
I think all I have is Aleve, as far as pain management goes.

So far I've been sucking down 24oz of water and then going. A fuller bladder seems to hurt less.
This sucks.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Honestly, Sunil, from what I know about serial killers, which is quite a lot, trust me, your ethnic background and geography would keep you safe from most of us. Serial killers don't like to work hard anymore than the rest of us. They like to blend in with their vics. So, unless you find a rootless Indian male, midthirties, roaming about SF, you don't have to worry about serial killers.
Ha! I'll tell them this. "No, really, my friend's an expert on these things. Serial killers don't want me. They're like women that way!"

Drink Gatorade to stay hydrated, and make a doctor's appointment as soon as you can. (If it does turn out to be a kidney infection, you can't just wait it out -- you'll need antibiotics.)
[edit: And that's not to sound alarmist, just that I had chronically recurring kidney infections as a kid, and know just how very painful they are.]

Fuck. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case.
But I do thank you all for the advice.

Do you have any urgent care places near you, Nicole? Maybe you can get one of the aunts to drive you to it today, rather than having to deal with it tomorrow.

Nicole, see a doctor as soon as you possible can. Kidney infections are serious and not to be messed with.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
My late father's final illness began with kidney failure. Some of what went wrong was due to treatment being delayed. Not to scare you, but don't wait to see the doctor. (Ummm just for the record it was not the kidney failure that killed him. It was the kidney failure that made him too sick to try the treatment that might have had a small chance of saving him.)
