It sounds like you are having a kidney problem. Water is great to drink, but if you could eat watermelon, that would help, too. Check out the kidney cleanse. I remember reading a post from someone who did the kidney cleanse and couldn't believe it when thousands of these little sand-like granules were expelled. I personally have never experienced what you are describing, but it could also be Epsom Salt related. (Just another thought)
I am glad you are driving your boyfriend crazy! You are now on a mission to tell the rest of the world!
I will be waiting to hear the results from your flush. Good luck!
