Thanks Erin, I'll have to see if we have them in Canada too . . . I suppose we probably do.

Sounds like we've been ridin' in the same leaky boat, Desinie.
I've had several UTI's before, but normally I'd get some pain/burning, significant hesitancy, frequency, incontinence, discoloration. I guess if I think about it, I did have a few indicators this time, but clearly none of them registered in my brain.
It was the MS symptoms escalating over a week or more that triggered the brain into action.
Cindy, I should know better . . . but have always ignored my medical stuff as long as possible. It would probably pay to be more vocal about sudden changes, cause at least someone would kick my @$$ when I need it.
Good advice too, karilann. No news IS good news (re: your MRI). That is great stability after 5 yrs . . . whatever CRAB you are using seems to be doing what it should.
