I was planning on using the Apple cider and honey remedy which wheelchair
mentioned, but my urologist thought I needed to wait until we determine which
type of stones I have in my bladder, before I start this remedy. She mentioned
it could make the problem worse if it is a certain type. I haven't had a
chance to look at the website someone posted on here a while back, but I
definitely am going to be checking it out soon.

must suck to have a sack of rocks where your suppose to have a water bag. It
should be a headsup to the rest of us to get our bladders checked every year to
18 months. We loose calcium at a remarkable rate compared to any other people
beside astronauts. Calcium leaves via kidneys and bladder. When mixed with
other solid particulates that kidneys extract, you get some rocks! I am sure
you will feel much better. I haven't used any anisthesia for cysto yet. I heard
the first doctor to do a cystoscopy did it on himself in the late 1700s. I
figured it must not be that painfull. Now I know better. I don't let them use a
general because if they break something I want to be able to yell.
I had versid last time and was pretty wacked but able to speak. It wore off
way too fast and by golly, I hadn't quite cleaned my bowel before surgery.

Well, the only clear catheter I have used was a silicone product, so I have no
idea how well the latex works. I myself am allergic to silicone catheters, but
it seems as if the majority of people do not have this problem.
I did, however, just get back up in my chair again after recuperating from
cystoscopy - lithotripsy. Fortunately I only had to undergo a spinal block, so
I was able to get home quite a bit quicker than I had originally anticipated.
They removed a ton of stones from my bladder and right now my catheter seems to
be going it much easier. When my urologist saw how many stones were in my
bladder during the original cystoscopy, she said my problem putting in the
catheter was most likely the result of too many stones. Thankfully she has been
correct on this point.

for 2 years now and only 1 or maybe 2 UTIs and no real problems changing it -

How many of you all use these clear latex types?

At 12:57 PM 1/7/2007 -0800, B. Kimberlin \(Quadius\) said something that
elicited my response:
Dan,
Just curious, are you using a silicone catheter or latex. I had an allergy to
the silicone catheter and they cost me significant problems. 1. The skin
around my suprapubic light to adhere to my catheter as well as my bladder skin.
2. I continuously felt as if I had a UTI. 3. Had extraordinary difficulty
getting new catheters in after removing the older ones.
Once I switched back
to latex, I had no difficulties, except the occasional stone.

Hi all, The last few months the tissue around my supra-pubic has
been bleeding more than it used to. Has anyone else had that problem or know of
a product that may help that?? It seems a while back I think someone said they
spayed miricle mist on theirs and it seemed to help, if anyone knows -- please
post. Thanks ALL and hope we all have a good new year ahead of us !
