Chronic UTI's and incontinence - Wait til you hear this!

[Guest guest]

Dear ShyDrager.com friends,

You need to know this if you have chronic UTI's or urinary

incontinence. There is a phenomenon called Urethral Diverticulum.

See it at www.emedicine.com

My sister has been having infection after infection. They finally

did a urinary examine and found she has a urethral diverticulum....a

small pocket on the urethral that has formed probably from the

constant urinary incontinence or chronic UTI's or both. A surgical

repair will be required. But here is the thing....It causes constant

infections and infections make MSA patients feel unbelievably awful.

Celeste has been in and out of the hospital since last fall with

infections. They put her on IV antibiotics and in a couple days she

comes back to life. They send her home and it starts all over

again. Loss of movement, extreme pain, fatigue. Please if you are

having recurrent infections have your Urologist evaluate you for a

Urethral Diverticulum. Be pushy about it.

Best Regards,

Dawn Morley

THANKS DAWN.

I'M NOT THERE NOW - AND MAY NOT BE. WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE ONE

SYMPTOM NOT MANIFEST ITSELF (AS I SEEM TO HAVE SOME WHICH OTHERS DO

NOT - PERHAPS THERE'S A TRADE OFF :-)

WILL KEEP THIS POST ON FILE - AND SHOULD I HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT -

I'LL HAVE IT HANDY FOR REFERENCE.

THANKS AGAIN

PAUL
