Wow, LA, it's hard for me to believe that it's more than a coincidence. I've never had a UTI (knock on dm's head), but I was on Baclafen for years. Which means nothing, of course.

Just ignore me, I'm out of sorts right now.

I hope it's not the meds but have you asked your doc if it could be? Do people "get used" to Abx and get kind of immune to them?

I hope like crazy that you'll feel better soon, I know you're suffering and it's no way to live.

I'm going with my gut feeling......it's not a coincident and I'm stopping the Baclofen. I will be calling my neuro tomorrow to let him know.

Yes, you can build up an immunity to Abx but I have been on two different ones.

I can take quite a bit when it comes to UTIs, having had them quite often starting at age 4. This one has just been very different than any I have ever had. I remember reading about Baclofen and it mentioned to let your doctor know if you experience bladder or bowel problems.

Cindy, are you seeing any difference in your hand? Is it getting any better? I really hope it's not worse

I don't want to be a victom of DM and her tool torture. I rather fancy myself a superhero, UnderWoman , to save those subjected to DM's outrageous antics. At the very least I could help you clean up the mess the girls left in your garage.

You guys are all nuts....up to five fingers, I'd say....and I love you for it.

Goodnight..

I think the reference to B&B problems has to do with the muscle relaxant effect. It did for me. I sure hope your doc can figure this out, I know you're feeling beat up at this point, and I really feel for you.

The hand is about the same I think, which is better than getting worse. I have a week before a major adventure and I really don't want it ruined by this. I am stressed about a couple other things but I'm doing my best to release that.

*booking first class ticket for MI. How soon can you get here????

Meh, you're just as bad, Sal, don't pull that demure crap with us!

I believe your correct about the B&B problems due to the muscle relaxant effect.

I just callled my neuro's office to let them know I quit the Baclofen and why. My neuro is not in on Fridays but the other neuro said to stay off of the Baclofen until the infection is gone. She said a very small percentage have B&B problems. They will check with my neuro when he returns to the office as to what he would like to do.

I really, really hope your able to go on your adventure, I know this is something you need/want to do.

Stress ~ Sometimes what we stress about really isn't worth our time and energy but life happens and it can feel quite good to beat the hell out of something......NOT someone but "something" (stepping away from AMN)

DEMURE?? ME?? MUAHAHAHAHA!!

The real question is how fast can the plane get me there. I've never flown first class before, what an adventure.

BTW, the *hit has hit the fan. I'm just waiting for the fallout. After more miscommunication he went upstairs. I'm numb, even more so then the usual MS way.

beth.
