I have significantly cut out energy drinks and soda.
I really only drink pepsi to take the advil to get rid of migraines or headaches. Well, here's your "kidney" pain, right here!! Plan on having an ulcer too!
My cell phone is not my top priority but its the ONLY phone I have, without it I wouldn't have a phone at all. No one would ever be able to reach me. I am not even paying for it right now and won't till my line is separated. Are you grateful?
Right now my goal is to save up as much money as possible and pay the bills I do have and then keep working on saving up money. Then SAVE it dang it!
I may also be letting BBB go because I can then work more at the gas station. My store manager asked me in my interview if I was interested in being assistant manager and if I get that position I will be making more than BBB and still have health benefits. BBB I won't be working up the ranks anytime soon, there's very little upper position turn over at BBB and MANY other people in line for promotion.
You are so, so very young. Oh what many of us would give to be your age again....to have the energy. You do have it you know...unfortunately you don't have the "perspective"..you don't know what it's like to NOT have it.
txt - you are always so focused on what you don't have and what you believe everyone else DOES have (which I think you are WAY overestimating BTW). Have you ever tried focusing on what you DO have? Make a list of things to be grateful for. Several years ago, my DH was laid off. I had only been working a minimal number of hours (most of the pay went straight to my retirement account) so there went our benefits (well, we had COBRA which cost us over 1000/mo....more than our mortgage at the time...but DD had major surgery coming up for which we needed the coverage so it was not optional). I had a depressed and nervous husband, a 16 yo daughter facing major surgery which had some nasty risks associated with it, and a just entering teen years son who felt lost in all the shuffle. I literally wrote lists of things to be thankful for and read them every day so that I could get through the day focusing on those things and with a positive attitude rather than wallowing in the "oh woe is me" thing....
Your back hurts because you stand all day at work.
Your head hurts because you are dehydrated from peeing and drinking so much pepsi.
I've never met someone who whines so much! Actually I haven't met you. But I am closer to your age than most of these people and honestly if I didn't know you where 21 I would think you where about 15 based on these posts.

I know....txt you ARE aware, are you not, that there is this inexpensive alternative to soda and energy drinks.....It's called WATER...and it is really good for washing things down. And yes, too much Advil is not good for your kidneys. More water, no Pepsi, no energy drinks = happy kidneys. Unhappy kidneys also cause back pain.

I just have an inkling it's not her kidney that actually hurts. It's her back muscles from standing all day. Don't get my wrong kidney infections hurt SO much. I had one when I was that age. But usually that goes along with having lots of pain during urination, then you feel like you have to go all the time but you can't. and your pee actually smells bad. Also nothing really elevated kidney pain for me, except standing. It also felt more like someone was squeezing or stabbing me and woke me up all night.
If she seriously has a kidney infection she needs to go straight to the doctor.

Such good advice! Thank you. Helps me out a bit right now.

Usually, but not always. DD has been hospitalized twice with kidney infections - she never has syptoms of a UTI until she has back pain...We learned that you can go to Walgreens and get test strips to test your urine. If she has back pain, that is one of the first things we do.

I just have a feeling with miss complainy pants standing 12 hours a day it's hurting her back. Heck it hurt me to stand for 5.
