Now, I don't fret that I'm not emptying my bladder completely because I know that twice a day I will be cathing. I was getting urinary spasms at the time, and I haven't had them since then either. Perhaps you need an evaluation by a Urologist. If they do suggest SIC, it really isn't so bad. I'm so used to it by now, that I don't think about it. I just do it every morning and every night after I brush my teeth. I'm glad you were finally able to go. But, this is not a symptom that I would take lightly, it's just part of our lives.
Thanks, Chris, my neuro called and I am to call in first thing tomorrow with a full report, and we may have to take action. She was relieved that I'm going now and even asked if I've been under unusual stress.

So, if I keep going as usual, I don't need to call in until tomorrow. Here's hoping!

Back to the topic, my neuro is hoping that it's just a little glitch and it will end by tomorrow. Otherwise, they're gonna hook me up.

Do you mean cath or uro dynamics testing?

I'm not sure. She said that if it starts up again, I'll be going in and we'll talk about it. I think it's a little better now, but I'm not sure I've conquered it completely.

cindy,

i'm glad you went but make sure you're really emptying.
it may be time for a urology or MS urology consult.
they will ultrasound your bladder to make sure you're emptying.

i had this problem some time ago and the urologist wrote a Rx for catheters etc. at least i have them in the house for emergencies.

stay on top of this before the wk is out.
and, that's an order missy!
Tweeeeeet
