I am back home this evening.. got to the ER round 1:30.. was out of

Neuro-Ophthalmologist was concerned I had a seizure and that was the

Thanks

nne,

I'm glad that I went too... even if it means more pills.. at

least for two weeks..

At least now I know what's going on.. and the Cipro should be

working within 24 to 48 hours.. or so WebMD and such places

say..

I am feeling better, legs will hold me, and allow me to pivot

and take a few steps, so that's better.. I'm just really tired

right now.. Will probably sleep off and on all day..

Thanks

Sharon,

I'm glad that I went too.. but I really didn't expect the

outcome to be the UTI.. I've never had one.. and didn't feel any

of the symptoms either.. well at least none that were

noticeable.. frequency/urgency has always been a part of

things.. so wasn't out of the norm.. didn't have any burning or

pain.. at least not until last night, long after I took the

first dose of Cipro.. and then when I did feel it.. it was like

WHOA!!!.. Don't want this to become a habit.. that's for

certain..

Well, I guess the UTI is actually better in the long run.

, the Neurology Nurse, decided that it was a pretty good

idea to come into their ER, and have the urine test.. because if

it didn't come out positive then I would be admitted, then they

could do the EEG that Doctor Jayden wanted (the

neuro-ophthalmologist) to rule out a seizure being the cause of

the bladder releasing AND they could have me on steroids if need

be.. and while I was there to ask for the Rehab people to come

in and evaluate, and insist that they send me over for inpatient

rehabilitation.. where they "would" have my legs working again..

or kill me trying.. LOL.. Made sense to me.. but I'd have been

inpatient over Thanksgiving and then most likely a week or two

more..

The neurologist that did the consult in the ER wanted to know

why I wasn't already on Ampyra.. and I didn't fib to him.. told

him that I'd asked for it and that Doctor said to me..

"You want me to give you a medication that costs 13k a month,

and you're not even taking your Copaxone like you're supposed

to?" and that I agreed with the doctor.. but that I should be

getting that prescription around February, cause I've been a

good girl and have been doing what I'm supposed to.. LOL..

All in all, a fairly good experience (once again) with this

hospital and the staff.. and I'm really hoping that the pain I'm

feeling in my upper back, (T-4 area) is just the messed up

nerves saying.. hey.. it hurts here.. but the actual pain is

lower, and from the UTI..

Supposed to follow up with them next week as well.. but today

I'm just too tired to make any phone calls.. so it will wait

until Friday..

HUGS

Hi Donna,....my very first UTI was after a car accident and they found blood in my urine and thought it was from the seat belt that held me tightly in my seat [lap belt besides shoulder belt] had pressed in so far as to damage my bladder they were thinking. But come to find out I had a bladder infection. I had no symptoms before hand. Then I started having them about every month, and was always on antibiotics. I got really tired of it, so I started drinking a lot of water every day, and was able to flush my bladder out, and I haven't had another infection since and that was about 10 years ago. BUT........the down side was I was up peeing a dozen times a day. Never during the night as I did most of my "flushing" during the day. lol...

Hope you get better real soon! :-)

cranberry juice will keep you flushed out - great for bladder infections

they have it in capsules or tablets now God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

I tried the cran too, but it tears up my stomach so I couldn't even take the capsules. But I have heard it does work for keeping the UTI's from coming back. :-)

Hugs from Jackie in Oregon

Donna... I'm glad you went, glad you saw a decent doc, glad you got meds, glad you are on your way to feeling better! hugs

LOL.. well

I've definitely been relaxed the past couple of days.. slept a

good part of yesterday (between the frequent trips to the potty)

sleeping.. and even without a ton of trips last night.. and

doing very little today.. I could take a nap again right now...

But I am trying to catch up..

Hugs

actually will do you a lot of good - then when your body is

relaxed the pills have a really good chance to get you better

God, grant me the strength of eagles wings,

the faith and courage to fly to new heights,

and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

Re: Update to --- Here we go again!

Thanks nne,

I'm glad that I went too... even if it means more

pills.. at least for two weeks..

At least now I know what's going on.. and the Cipro

should be working within 24 to 48 hours.. or so

WebMD and such places say..

I am feeling better, legs will hold me, and allow me

to pivot and take a few steps, so that's better..

I'm just really tired right now.. Will probably

sleep off and on all day..

HUGS

Donna,

Glad you went to the ER. Prayers that you feel better soon.

Hi Jackie,

I sure hope these don't become the norm.. I don't want to be on

anti-biotics for an extended period of time (though it might

help until I get my upper teeth removed.. loads of cavities and

well.. my fault.. decided about 8 years ago, I wasn't doing

anything with my teeth since I couldn't get a dentist to follow

through on their word to replace amalgam fillings with

composite.. teeth can cause a flare too)..

But I worry about UTI's getting started and then becoming a

pretty much constant presence in my life.. It's not good when we

get them.. laid in a case of bottled water for me.. and a

few bottles of Cranberry juice.. If I had even suspected that I

had something going on, I'd have been drinking Cranberry juice..

I mean anytime before when I felt even the slight achy feeling

in the lower back, hip area.. I'd start the Cranberry thing.. it

would go away quite quickly..

I feel guilty drinking my cup of coffee in the morning... since

that's on the papers to avoid caffeine (which gets confusing..

prescribe the pills with caffeine in them for the ocular

migraines.. but I'm not supposed to ingest caffeine with the

infection?)..

But I WILL drink more water, with the bottled stuff in the

fridge.. Our water company is just a riot.. handing out the

sports bottle cause it's national drink water week or something

like that.. but their water is NOT safe for elderly, babies or

immuno-compromised people to drink.. and their quarterly report

states exactly that.. Well if the water isn't safe for these

types of people.. it's not really safe for anyone.. and heaven

forbid their water sits in the kitchen sink, or the bathroom

toilet for even a short length of time.. cause there's going to

be a grayish to black ring around the top of the water.. sorry

I'm no drinking that stuff.. (in coffee or something boiled it

doesn't worry me, but right out of the faucet.. nope.. can't put

the purifier on the faucet because we put a new fangled.. pull

me out of socket and spray me anywhere in the kitchen type

faucet on the kitchen sink.. so me no drinky that! LOL)..

I just need to remember that when asks me if I want

something to drink from the store.. to quit saying.. yeah..

Sprite, or Ginger Ale or Orange.. Need to stay.. Yea.. water or

Cranberry Juice..

Speaking of which, he had better have remembered to pick up the

yogurt yesterday.. otherwise, I'm going to go from bladder to

yeast in the infection department. LOL...

Well, here I go.. Blackberry Harvest Yogurt and bottled water to

wash it on down.

Here's to no more UTI's and no Yeasties either.. LOL

Hi Donna,....my very first UTI was

after a car accident and they found blood in my urine

and thought it was from the seat belt that held me

tightly in my seat [lap belt besides shoulder belt]

had pressed in so far as to damage my bladder they

were thinking. But come to find out I had a bladder

infection. I had no symptoms before hand. Then I

started having them about every month, and was always

on antibiotics. I got really tired of it, so I started

drinking a lot of water every day, and was able to

flush my bladder out, and I haven't had another

infection since and that was about 10 years ago.

BUT........the down side was I was up peeing a dozen

times a day. Never during the night as I did most of

my "flushing" during the day. lol...

Hope you get better real soon! :-)

Hugs

Donna... I'm

glad you went, glad you saw a decent doc, glad you

got meds, glad you are on your way to feeling

better!

Definitely

have Cranberry Juice in the fridge now.. and I'm betting there

will always be a bottle in there now.. doesn't like sitting

around waiting.. and we all know that an ER visit requires the

sitting around waiting.. only I get the bed!! LOL

cranberry juice will keep you flushed out - great for

bladder infections

they have it in capsules or tablets now
