I'm so sorry to hear of your troubles, and I hope your health problems soon improve. I just wanted to tell you that someone here told me that cranberry juice while helpful for bladder infections, can actually cause kidney stones.

Kidney stones: Cranberry juice and cranberry extracts contain a large amount of a chemical called oxalate. In fact, there is some evidence that some cranberry extract tablets can boost the level of oxalate in the urine by as much as 43%. Since kidney stones are made primarily from oxalate combined with calcium, healthcare providers worry that cranberry might increase the risk of kidney stones. If you have a history of kidney stones, avoid taking cranberry extract products or drinking a lot of cranberry juice. Cranberry: MedlinePlus Supplements |
You might want to do a little more research on that. Best of luck!
