Re: [QUAD-L] BODY CHANGING 6 YRS POST
Sounds very familiar! Yeah, about every 10 years or everytime a 0 is at the end of and age, things seem to head south and it takes longer to bounce back from things--like being in bed for a pressure sore, a surgery or just a stomach ache. I definitely cannot just hop in the chair and go full steam anymore. Tried that and could hardly move the next day! What used to work does not, what used to not work does now and gave up guessing why a long time ago! take care, Dana and ?

Re: [QUAD-L] BODY CHANGING 6 YRS POST
I am almost 10 years post injury and it seems some things change continuously. I did experience problems with my catheter and occasionally still have problems with it clogging up for some unknown reason. Going five years without a bowel incident is pretty darn good. I could say that I went a long also, but every incident I have had has usually been the result of my bowel regimen not being completed properly.

Have you tried wearing an abdominal binder? I find it holds it in pretty well, but there is still a little bulge. :-)BillyNichole Rohling [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: MY LIFE IS DEFINITELY NEVER BORING AND YES THE QUAD GUT IS HERE!

Re: [QUAD-L] BODY CHANGING 6 YRS POST
I can concur with you. Excessive weight gain, extraordinary body spasms near mid section and legs, and symptoms of kinked catherer hose when sitting up in chair causing unwanted wetting. tahouston - Original Message - From: Nichole Rohling To: QUADLIST Sent: Sunday, December 12, 2004 7:26 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] BODY CHANGING 6 YRS POST HELLO ALL OKAY - A QUESTION FOR THE ONES HERE INJURED FOR AWHILE.

Re: [QUAD-L] BODY CHANGING 6 YRS POST
I'm nearly 30 years post, and I haven't experienced problems like you mention. However, over time, I have found that my spasms have become stronger. But that is due, I think, because I'm less active than I was when I was younger. And going 5 years with no bowel accident? Wow, I think you might be unique :S I don't think you should worry about just one accident. Now if it happens again then you could start asking questions Did you change any medications 5 months ago? Either stopping something, or adding something new? When was the last time you took any antibiotics? In my case, when I take antibiotics, I start having bladder problems which last for a couple of months. Once my bladder starts producing its own bacteria, then I'm alright again. Bodies do slow down with age. So your weight increase might be due to age? Sorry I can't help you more than that, maybe others will have more suggestions...
