When they, the VA, change my catheter to a silicon I suffered for about
the same period of time. Believe it or not, I finally realized the
problem when I found that older catheter and had my brother put it in to
replace the silicone. I then informed the VA, but they refuse to believe
me that I was allergic to silicone until my urologist acknowledge this
fact. It actually took me going in and having the urologist try to take
the silicone catheter out.
Man, I just realized I had the same thing happened with my catheter
quite some time ago. It has been well over eight years ago, but now I
recall my skin kept trying to adhere to the silicone. My memory is just
not what it used to be.

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

Re: [QUAD-L] Under the weather
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
