CREST systemic sclerosis
spent the day at the Sheffield hospital yesterday having a heart
catheterisation
and when all results were in the consultant said I have developed pulmonary hypertension on top of my Scleroderma. Don’t know how I feel about this yet.

UTIs and Chronic urinary retention
To alleviate this I have been doing intermittent self
catheterisation
for about 6 months now which results in frequent UTIs It seems my body has now become resistant to most antibiotics that treat this.

That together with the Aluril bladder washes and the intermittent self
catheterisation
should stave off the UTIs’. Fingers crossed 🤞 They are going to be testing my poo and I will have 2 nuclear PET scans a week apart to check the function of my bowel.

Living with a Suprapubic Catheter
Until then nurses used intermittent urethral
catheterisation
. I was due to be discharged from hospital soon, and because I have very little use of my hands, intermittent self-
catheterisation
would have been impossible.

Nocturia
Ever since my radiotherapy and brachytherapy 2 months ago I have been suffering nocturia, sometimes being forced awake 5 times a night by a painful call and having little or no product when staggering once again to the toilet for a little dribble. I am now trying to limit the liquid I drink during the

Frequent blocked catheters
Hi everyone My husband is 6/7 years into MSA condition. Just wondered if I could ask if anyone has experienced any major problems with frequent blocked catheters. My husband was given an indwelling catheter nearly 12 months ago as he could not self intermittent catheterise anymore. The first 6 months

further to before re cardiac mri
today I phoned the bhf and we spoke at length about my recent cardiac mri. She said I have a small scar on my heart but it’s not affecting my blood flow. That often a cardiac mri doesn’t show up Microvascular arteries and there isn’t a lot known about the condition at the moment. We talked about what

some great news….
My son will be turning 4 this January and that in and of itself is great news. Nothing is scarier than having just given birth and not knowing what the future of your precious new child will hold, like simply living. my son was born with PUV and severe reflux bilaterally. Of course there was renal

self catheterization
I'm 8 days away from completing my 45 radiation treatment. The side effects have not been pleasant but now the beam is more focused on the prostate. I am having a problem emptying my bladder and for the last week have been unable to sleep for more than 2 hrs at a time without waking to pee. My Dr. recommended

Update after cardiac catheterization.
First a BIG THANK YOU for all the advice and support. I felt you with me every step of the way. The catheterization showed no narrowing of the major cardiac arteries. But head cardiologist came and said all my symptoms were classic heart attack and clearly something was blocked...so i have a bucket

cardiac catheterization through the wrist?
My cardiologist is treating me for afib and possible CHF. He is bugging me big time to have a cardiac cath. to "rule out" CAD. I am resisting this, as many years ago I had a very bad experience with the femoral artery entrance way for the catheter procedure, and recovery was lengthy. The cardiologist

Angiogram and Right Cath.
I had previously asked my Cardiologist if they would do a right
catheterisation
as I have pulmonary hypertension and was told the right side off my heart was affected. He said yes I’m sure that will do that.

An Embarrassing new health concern in addition to my raised BP.
I am now having to use at the moment 4 times daily a intermittent self-
catheterisation
SpeediCath contraption to empty my bladder. After only 1 week whilst not painful when inserting the tube I have developed I think cystitis even after following to the letter the cleansing instructions beforehand.

Transoesophageal echocardiograms - any experiences?
Last Wednesday I had a Right Heart
Catheterisation
to measure the pressures in my heart and lungs, then merrily went off skiing on Saturday (with my consultant's blessing!) hoping to forget about my recently-diagnosed Atrial Septal Defect and looming OHS.
