I have an issue and I couldn't find another place on MS world that I can ask about it.
I lost my mobility in September 2010 and have been using a catheter since that time. Since losing my mobility, we have to use a hoya lift to relocate me. (To the bed, to the toilet, to the shower chair, to my power chair) my husband is still working, and as my primary caregiver the catheter became necessary for when he's not home.
Some time ago, I had to start visiting a urologist because my Catheter kept becoming blocked and it caused many bladder spasms. He had me take a regiment of several low dosage antibiotics continually because the sediment became so happy it would block the catheter. When it would block the catheter it was almost like a cement.
I did that for about 6 months, but there was no change to my situation. I went back and forth to the urologist, but he finally washed his hands of me. It wasn't a terse situation, he just didn't have any other solutions. I have been tested for both diabetes and cancer and am clear of either of these. (Both can be the cause of this type of sediment) both my bladder and kidneys are also very healthy.
I'm wondering if anyone has any comments that may help me. I would welcome any help that can aid in a solution to the situation.
