Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Congrats on your 6 months meth free
It is unlikely if you last used meth 6 months ago that it should still be detected in your urine.
In general it can be detected up to 3 to 5 days after the last use.
Though meth can be associated with kidney damage it is not often associated with kidney stones.
If the kidney stones that you have are large they may not pass even though you use alot of fluids and may require additional treatment to decrease the size.
I hope this helps
