Greg, I agree, the majority of my dysreflexia comes from my bladder. Maybe
it's got some mucus or other crap obstructing its somewhat, or possibly kinked
were the top of the leg bag is bunched etc. The bowel is also a source of
hyperreflexia including flatulence. isn't quadriplegia wonderful? hang in
there, Dan T.

DIV.Section1 { page: Section1 } I think the night shivers are a
slight case of Autonomic Disraflexia(sp?)
When I get it, once I get moved a bit it goes away. Most of my AD is bladder
related, so maybe the SP cath is in a bad position and irritating my bladder.
One time I woke up so cold and shivering so bad, I was sure I had a bad UTI. As
soon as I got up I went to the ER. My arm was shivering so bad I was jerking as
I was driving my chair. My temp was at 94 degrees. The ER line was very long so
I went outside to sit in the sun. By the time they called me, I was warming up
(it was over 105 out side). AD slows things down and can lower your temp as it
raises you blood pressure. It is a dangerous thing.
