Do you take any kind of pain medicine. You might even try Tylenol. This week I've been taking 1 Lortab and a Clonidine about an hour before I get up and it has helped tremendously.

The first few days after the catheter is changed, AD occurs every 10 minutes or so. Transferring in and out of my chair also sets it off. When getting dressed, any contact to the groin area also sets it off. The only thing that gets rid of it is to lay on my side. Blood pressure gets up to 180/120. Local Doctors are clueless. The supposed "good" doctors are 3 hours away, I'm afraid of trying to travel that far.

I was hospitalized for severe headache's, they ended up putting an elderly woman who was almost complexly deaf in my room. Every person who came to communicate with her had to SHOUT! It ended up having a full blown stroke on my right side. I couldn't speak or move my left arm. Then I threw-up bile which was a clear indicator that my gallbladder was very bad. After they removed it I got my speech back and could move my left arm again ... I am SO LUCKY! As a result of the stroke I have some long-term memory loss. Bobbie Smile Everyday
