Hey all: I am going back to Johns Hopkins again to the plumbing dept. I have had no luck at all taking medicine to get my bladder to work right again and so the docs are going to see if I am a good candidate for interstim therapy.
Any of you tried it? It is rather like a pacemaker for the bladder, with a lead placed nest to the sacral nerve, and then you adjust the electric signal until it makes the bladder relax and quit spazzing,(making you void). After four years of this wearing diapers, I'd like to see if something can be done. He said 2nd choice is botox, but it has to be repeated every 7-10 months. Most radical is surgery on the bladder--reconstruction actually. I don't think I hate diapers that much. :~) Cora
