Urologist wanted to do IV Meropenum like 9 – 12 weeks ago. I got info from home health but uro didn’t send orders or call me back………I wasn’t symptomatic other than my leg bag was blue so I decided to change doctors since this Uro wouldn’t get back w/ me. I figured if it was serious they would have called me back! My new uro can’t see me until Dec 11 so I’m just using my primary dr right now.
Just got off phone w/ the lab and they didn’t do sensitivity because they said culture was contaminated w/ skin flora? My urine came straight out of the port on night bag after cath change……it came straight out of sterile pkg! ugh I’ve been taking cipro so we can’t do another ua while I’m on it…………sooooooooo aggravated! I need a freaking doctor that will call me back now! I want a RX for bladder spasms and I want it now! Anyone know where I can buy Ditropan or Oxybutin on the street? LOL!

So each time I became sick with bladder infections I had to have IV drugs. The last time my doctor tried an IV drug called FORTAZ - this seemed to work a miricle, because now I have been about 3 years with no problem ! knock on wood, lol Dan H** From: Dana Wray <daa...@aol.com> To: Don Smith <scamper2...@att.net> Cc: nichole rohling <zoocr...@windstream.net>; greg <g...@eskimo.com>; "quad-list@eskimo.com" <quad-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Monday, October 28, 2013 3:20 AM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] bladder spasms need IV antibiotics When I had Pseudomonas I was on IV for a month at home maybe longer.

Could something else be causing you to spasm, maybe your abdomen is cramping down causing the bladder to cramp down. I know even if my shoes are too tight, don't recline often enough, etc. my whole body starts spasm. Obviously you know your body better, but you might look beyond the bladder at this point.
