I take vitamin C and don't see a difference. What mg's are you
using?

vitamin C along with mendelamine creates a hostile environment for most
critters. It is still important to take acidophilus while on these types of
drugs. It helps replace the good bacteria. Any antibiotic will usually
wipe out the good bacteria with the bad. It is always a good idea to make
sure your change in medicine doesn't stir up mass amounts of
sediment and cause a clog. Irrigating is smart because it really does take out
any high volumes of infection and you can understand what bug and strength of
bug you have. You can do your own testing for Ph. I have used a mild vinegar
solution in the sterile water but not when looking for test urine. Oh,
rinse with sterile water after you rinse with vinegar. You could
administer other mild anti-biotics this way too. But I didn't tell you that.
I'm white vinegar should chemically break down the stuff that stones are
made of. But your bladder will disolve before the stones do if you actually
rinsed with the amount it would take to reduce a large stone. When you talk to
your doctor, don't be shy about wanting certain drugs available and
why. Try to get as clean catch as possible. You're getting very intimate
germs from whoever helps you. If you can keep it with only one or two people
you are best off. Catching germs from family seems less virulent and survival.
Day cares are radioactive! So, you can imagine what the b'girls leave you
with. If you have a wife or girlfriend that takes care of your catheter,,
well, you lucky SOB. I've had infections that put me in an ambulance in under
10 hours. It's like a house with mice. You can knock down the population but
you will still need the traps. Even in "clean" caths, sterilize everything
your going to use. Have your aid press on your bladder as she/he removes
the catheter. Do not let up until the catheter is completely out. You can
trigger you own bladder spasms to empty your bladder by gently pounding
your lower abdomen. I repeat, GENTLY. To much compression can damage your
ureters and once your back flowing to your kidneys, well you have an end
stage problem.
Did you know that you can attach bed bags so they drain to each other?
Handy tip if your in a hospital where they don't know what they are doing. It
sure seems like they would have some kind of external catheter for women by
now. They have some new adhesives that someone should be testing.
I hope that's some help?
