Paul, My suprapubic has been in for 26 years. There was a time I was getting a sand like sediment in the tube forcing a change. I switched to filtered water And the problem got solved. I normally drink and a ton of water at night so the night bag is practically full when I wake in the morning.
Like you, I am prone to AD any time the tube messed with, and I take Ditropan for bladder spasms. This subject comes up often on the list. If you have saved a year’s worth of Quad list entries you might find extra help. Good luck with this. > On Jan 28, 2016, at 11:57 PM, Robert Vogel <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Paul, > > Sounds like this change came up fairly quickly and is staying around.
