I had an enormous pain in the bladder and severe bladder
spasms. Once the catheter was removed in a normal Bard catheter was
inserted, the pain and spasms diminished within five minutes. I also
have the same reaction to silicone, but my skin and bladder additionally tried
to adhere to the silicone. Nobody here wants to hear my horror story
about what happened with my silicone trach. Let me just say one word:
ouch!

Believe it or not I tried a Bard Foley which was coated
with some sort of material which was supposed to prevent UTIs, but
unfortunately I was allergic to whatever was coating the latex
catheter. I am also allergic to silicone catheters, go
figure.

I keep Cipro on hand at home with standing
perscriptions for cipro 500 and bactrim DS. All I need to do is call
them in. Most of the time bactrim will work but occasionally I need
cipro. If 250 doesn't get it in 2 days I send a urine sample and call
the rx for the 500s. My doctor isn't always available and I do not run
to the ER for anything. If I want a problem made worse or a new
problem, I'd go to an ER. I can tell which anti biotic I need by what
is going on. You should ask your doctor to give you scripts for
anti biotics so you don't have to run to the ER. Cipro is an easy
broad spectrum anti biotic that should hold you while the lab does the
work up on your samples. I keep forgetting you guys have indwelling
and supra pubic caths. I get uti's but its always low grade temps and
just feeling bad. I wish you luck and still think there should be
something you could have at home so you don't have those runs to the
ER. God bless you and I pray you feel! better soon.
yes, I
always get a flu shot unless some idiot makes a mistake and screws the
national supply up. I do not shake hands

My doctor
does require, for the most part, cultures when treating UTIs, unless I
am running a really high
temperature. Quadius [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
I hope you get to feeling better Quadius I know the feeling as
I have had congestion and suctioning, since last Monday and had to
go to ER last night for low oxidation as suggested by my visiting
and the nurse practitioner on call for the doctor. ER
prescribed a job cipro. My doctor always makes me get a
culture from ostomy and my trach button although nurse did not get
the first ones there in time and had to do again yesterday.
I
was unfortunately not able to get my flu shot when the health
department brought mine Monday. They are going to save the
shot for next Monday. I get one every year, does anyone else
get flu shots
Does your doctor for anyone else's require
cultures before they treat you. Just wondering if that was a
common practice for everyone. I guess the only way to
determine if it is viral or bacterial. What do they usually
prescribe you and others on the list?

My luck was going well and then I did a simple blog about how
good everything was going. Every time I do something like that
I end up regretting it later. Anyway, I have been feeling bad
for three days now, but at least I am feeling better than I was the
two previous days. I am unsure whether this is a mild UTI or
whether it's something viral.
Hopefully I will be able to keep up, but I'm sure everyone
understands what it is like when you feel like crap. I tend to
stay off the computer as much as possible when I am feeling
weak.
I hope everyone else is doing okay. Quadius
