AD, is fatal. AD, can be fatal. You should learn as much about AD as you can. This is most important if you are having episodes of this condition. Bowel and Bladder can be blamed for most of it, but other conditions can bring on AD.
But since you have mentioned that you have had issues with bladder and bowel, I will go with that direction. You should drive plenty of good water each day and your bladder should be completely voided or emptied each 4-6 hours, with no exceptions. Depending on your diet and how much you consume, you may wish to consider a daily bowel program, either digital or with supplements. Now you stated that you have been a Quad for a number of year and I'm sure that both bladder management and bowel programs were discussed with you at sometime in the past. If this is so, its time to get back to basics with both programs. Your bowel and bladder, both have nerves and muscle. Taking any form of muscle relaxant with affect all of your muscles and nerves, including your bowel and bladder. If you are mixing spirits and other drugs, along with your RX meds you will have problems. Based on what you have written, you might consider a clean sweep of your bowels. You might ask your doctor about having your bladder examined and ultra sound to determine any abnormalities. Bowel and Bladder Management is important to your health. When done properly, under normal conditions, you should have fewer episodes of AD, and better health. I wish you the best. Best Wishes</HTML>
