See? I just don't get it...:Hum:

Every time I call the neuro's office with a new thing that's worrying me, the nurse first asks, "Do you have a UTI?"

Well, no sxs, so how do I know? I guess I should start using the home test kit before I call them. When I bother to nowadays...:rolleyes:

UTIs can go undiscovered for a long time and create quite a bit of havoc. Its a very common cause of flares, and issues. Next time she asks the magic question just say "dont think so, but if you want I can come pee in a cup for you." Now, before I come all the way down there, can we talk a bit about my sx?

I hope you feel better :hug:

I have a friend in town with MS. She had a UTI and didn't know it. Over the summer she ended up in a major flare and in the hospital only to find out she had a UTI and that caused her flare.

Don't worry Deb, I get the same remark when I go to the neuro. And, since they don't do any testing or ordering of testing for a UTI, I now go to my PCP 1st to rule out any kind of infection.

I hope you start feeling better soon.:hug:

Ha Trish, you have to go to a Doc to see if you have to go to Doc.:rolleyes::p

Isn't this the truth! I feel like I just go round and round and round and round. DD20 has been going with me to my appts lately and she just doesn't get it. She notices the same thing - go to neuro they say see PCP, go to PCP they say go to neuro. She laughs about it. I finally have given up and just go to my PCP for everything. If she says, you need to see your neuro, then I make an appt. It has made things much easier.

I get the same thing. I see the nurse practitioner or my pcp and they say do you have an appointment the neuro. I really think you should make an appointment. I get an appointment with the neuro and he says, you are stable. I'll see you in six months or a year. It depends on his mood. The next time I see the nurse or pcp they say what did the neuro say? And then they sigh. :rolleyes:
