For a long time I had a fear of flying.

After I passed stones I noticed something odd - no usual anxiety during takeoff and landing.

It was the stones all this time.

Strange. A mental thing or possible pain from sitting so long?
Pain from 'dem stones moving around in the bladder I think - but I don't really know, since the USG after passing didn't indicate anything.

For a long time any significant g-forces would cause pain in the abdomen, which I unwittingly started ignoring at one point. But the fear of that pain stayed and I couldn't identify where it came from.

When I the plane started its ascent and I felt nothing, I connected the dots - especially that the passing and flying were just a few months apart.
