Re: [TMIC] bladder and UTI

[JHarper33]

Linda, that's not at all a dumb question. :-)  I think the answer has to do with being alert to changes in odor and color. Plus I think some have said other seemingly unrelated symptoms (numbness, wobbliness) seem to increase when there is an infection somewhere in the body.   Barbara H. http://barbarah.wordpress.com/   In a message dated 10/1/2006 1:04:20 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've been reading all the post's concerning UTI and the bladder, etc. My question is.....(and this may be a really DUMB one) How do you know if you have UTI if you can not feel, do not feel normal from the waist down? What I mean is, I have feeling, I can walk, but when it comes to FEELING, I do not have it....(such as relations with my husband), etc....I am almost at my 4 year mark, I was completely paralyzed from the waist down, I have come a long way, but I do have a neurogenic bladder, I am on detrol, and I try to go to the bathroom every 2 hours and I have been told to double void. Would I be able to have the sensations that goes along with UTI, such as burning? I don't think I have this, but sometimes the stream is so little, I know that I am not emptying completely.
