[QUAD-L] A.D. - help

[Derrick]

Hi all,   Two nights ago I had my first major AD episode.(i say major because i get mild AD when i void urine  through my condom catheter  and during bowel program)     My episode consisted of a major headache, nausea, and blood rush to the head. I called my aide and she catheted me and i did my bowel regime. I am not sure which one helped relieve but it recided.   I got up and felt okay all day. At 1am i have another espisode. My aide came and catheted me and I felt fine. I was okay all day again untill i voided some urine at 5:30pm. I had another major head rush and headache. It went away after i urinated.   So, i thought i better get checked out at the local "hick" emergency room. The doctor told me i do not know what we can do about this and he has never heard of AD. I told them to run a urine and blood test. Every test was negative.   Now today, i get a head rush and pounding headache everytime i void urine through condom catheter. The AD is more intense now -since a major AD - then it usually was the past 10 years when i voided urine.   Does the AD leave a several day hangover of AD?   Like i said the AD sysptoms go away after i void. They do not continue. Even the major AD episode did not leave the syptoms continue, they just went away. Except a lingering minor headache.   I never had a major AD so I am not sure  if something is still wrong with me below my injury or if it is a lingering affect.   Has anyone else had lingering effects after AD? Does the AD go completely away after you relieve the cause?   Thanks, Derrick W c-5, 10 years post
