The only problem, so far that I've noticed, is that I sunburn easily. This may be due to some of the medications I take. Naomi C-4 quad since July 2, 2005 ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Natalie, Yes, I have been on a preventative medication, Cipro, and I still managed to get UTIs on a regular. Since I was still getting the infections while taking the medicine, the doctor just took me off of it. Naomi C-4 quad since July 2, 2005

Natalie, I understand that very well. My husband tends very good care of my every need. It is necessary for him to have some downtime for himself in order to care for me properly and not lose his mind. He is an avid golfer, and we arranged for other family members to be with me for two

Cody, Yes, I have been a low dose preventative medication as well. It worked for a short while, but then the UTIs return. I guess once my system built a tolerance for it, it no longer worked. The doctors just had me to stop taking it. Naomi C-4 quad since July 2, 2005

Jude, I wasn't sure if you were directing your questions to Natalie or me, but I can add my two cents. The finger thing that you speak of is the digital stimulation. It is done by inserting one or two fingers in the rectum, to stimulate the anus which causes the bowels to move. As I

Cheryl, Yes, I cannot take Bactrim. It makes me violently ill. And yes, my doctor takes a sterile culture. She will prescribe me something before I leave the office, and when my culture comes back, she will call in a script to my pharmacist. I've had a couple of different doctors

Natalie, It's funny how our birthday presents changed after having TM. I'm glad your husband made dinner for you. Sounds like you had a pretty good birthday after all I wish I was able to self cath. I have a Foley catheter and I have more UTIs than ever. We take all the necessary

Priscilla, Are you still having those bouts of diarrhea? How long ago was it that your doctor said you have Crohn's disease? I had the same problem for about two years before I finally went to the doctor. After many tests, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. It is under control now,

Jude, I used to have to do the digital stimulation and my early months of TM. Yes it is very unnatural feeling to lay in the bed on your side, waiting to use the bathroom. Sometimes I would have to get the Enemee suppository. Thanks to gravity and my diet, I am able to use the bedside
