Do/did your doctors test you for an infection when you get stones? They are common with that kind of irritation in the ureter! An infection can kick up MG, too.
I only had kidney stones once. I found that I had been having a reaction to dairy that caused "serous inflammation" in my body's mucus membranes. It might have contributed to the stones.
Do you drink a lot of water? That's the one main thing they always say to do if you have them. I think it might be a good idea to see an endocrinologist. There has to be a reason for why you are having so many of them! An endo can check your parathyroid gland, calcium, etc.
Also, they can be caused by inflammation. Dairy/cheese and beef can cause inflammation in the body. What's sort of funny is that some homeopaths say that the arm drops when holding a food we might be sensitive or allergic to! 
I really think having 51 stones is a bit too much! There has to be a reason for it. And your MG doesn't need the added stress.
Juanitad, I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience! You were very lucky not to have gotten worse.

The most expensive advice I've ever gotten has cost me over 30,000 dollars over the past 40 years: "Drink lots of water!"
I've had every test known to man and no one can figure out why I produce so many stones. I'm to the point that I don't complain about them unless they won't pass. I've had to have 4 removed over the years. Hopefully this latest one will pass soon.
I assume this is what caused the aggravation of my mg. What startled me was how fast it all happened. Collapse was within 3 hours of the initial symptoms. Clearly I'm going to have to be careful. Much more careful than I supposed.
No infection showed up in the lab work, just blood in the urine. I've tried all the diets, including low calcium. Nothing has worked. I've been on medication, none have helped. I've drunk lots of lemonade. That tasted good but didn't do anything for the stones. I've just come to accept that I'm going to have them. Fortunately they are nowhere near as painful as the first few were.
Thanks for your post.
