I've been having some inflammation, fluid dysregulation and pain issues in my abdomen since my hysterectomy 15 months ago. Last week, primary care doc ordered an abdominal ultrasound which found a gallstone (Cholelithiasis. Adenomyomatosis.), lesions on my liver (hopefully nothing, MRI scheduled for next week), and moderate hydronephrosis with a 1.5cm shadowing calculus in the renal pelvis on my right kidney. Referred to urology (originally scheduled 6 weeks out, I pushed and got in this morning). Met with doc, who ordered a stat CT. Found out my right kidney is Duplex. 2.4cm x 1.4cm x 2.4cm in the UPJ causing moderate hydronephrosis. Also found a second large stone or cluster of stones, less hyperdense, in the lower pole measuring 2.5cm x 1.5cm x 1.3 cm. Awaiting for commentary from urologist, follow up appointment is Monday (today is Wednesday). I am completely new to this, but this situation seems like...a lot. No evidence of infection (yet). Any advice?? 41yo female. No insight on the condition of the ureters yet.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some recommendations. I am 1 week into CPAP therapy for mild to moderate apnea. So far, it's taken a bit of fine tuning the settings to get through the night (hose position, ramp, rainout, etc). Last night felt good, but I still had my oxygen levels dropping to 82% a few times during the night. It happened once during initial deep sleep, and then again during REM sleep. True apnea events are quite low and seal is good, so recommendation is to adjust sleeping position. I prefer sleeping on my side, but with this mask (nose pillows, air tubes coming along side of face/head), I find side sleeping to either impact seal or the air pressure feels too low. Has anyone else experienced this? Any recommendations? I need to find an SD card to start getting full data off my machine... Haven't had a chance to do that yet. Appreciate the help!
