Hi there, I am going to be tonight to catheterise myself next week. I am incredibly nervous about this, do I need to be or will it be easy? Please tell me the truth, I am stronger when I know the facts so that I can prepare myself Many thanks M

Help with urinary problems
Hi all, I have had problems with my bladder for about the past 5 or 6 years. My symptoms are loss of sensation to urinate from my bladder (I get the sensation to urinate from my urethra). This hasn't caused any incontinence and I've had tests etc and no problems with pelvic floor muscles etc! Even though

A long shot....
Bit of a long shot on our forum; but are there any men out there who self catheterise? I would be interested how you cope and how it affects everyday life. David

My Cancer Story
It all started with a pair white sandals that had a (three inch) wedged heel. It was a Labor Day sale and I just had to have those shoes. While wearing the shoes one day, I got out of the car and stepped incorrectly. This resulted in twisting my foot. A few days later, my back started to hurt and it

Neo bladder issues
I had my bladder removed 8 weeks ago in order to ensure the cancer that had been present there did not return. It all seems to have gone pretty well however I do get occasional leaks from my neo bladder (Indiana Pouch). I now catheterise every 3 hours rather than the initial 4 that was recommended by

Anyone here on Diltiazem for pulmonary arterial hypertension?
Hi, consultant wants me to start taking Diltiazem (a calcium channel blocker) as I proved to be vasoreactive to it during my last right heart catheterisation. I am concerned about the dose he wants me to work up to in a very short space of time...especially as it does NOT agree with the guidelines issued

Mouth and throat?
Hey folks With my FND I have issues with mobility etc and chronic pain However few months ago noticed thrush like issues on my tongue ... I had tests by doctor who said "it looks like thrush from your tablets take these to counteract"... Do I took them.. Still there after.. So he said he'd do a swab.

Thanks
Hi All, Thanks for replying to my post re: cardiac catheterisation. I'm having the procedure done for diagnostic reason for now. I'm hoping my arteries will be such that I don't need stents or such things! Ablation for me is a while down the track. I'm also hoping the procedure doesn't effect the heart

Hi Everyone, I'm booked in for a cardiac catheterisation - has this procedure caused any problems with afibbers? Slightly nervous about this on-coming event! What experiences has anyone else had with this? Cheers, Musetta

My brain aneurysm saga: As in my prior posts, I was diagnosed with a 3mm brain aneurysm in Sept. and was scheduled for a 'cerebral artery angiogram' for Nov. 10-it is a diagnostic surgery done in hospital--they catheterize you through groin artery and all the way into brain and inject dye--The neurosurgeon
