Dear Dawn,
I dont remember ever speaking to you, but I have been on here for about a
year now, I talk alot with Chrissy Damon, & a few others. I been reading your
post & I have had Adhesions for over 20 years they started with endometreosis
at the age of 16, I have had 14 Major surgeries, mostly to remove all the
adhesions & all the problems that they have caused me. Well enough of that
just was trying to let you know a little about me, I am 37 now & when I was
reading your post it is so crazy, I think Adhesions DO cause all this bladder
& kidney problems...I have had the same problems as you, been in the hospital
about 6 times in the last 6 -7 months , for kidney pain & my urine getting
backed up & me retaining fluid
with tthem having to catherderize me, & keep it in for a week . & everytime
they get 1,000cc's in the ol' bag, &it feels so good when they do it though,
but the pain is still terrible, but a little relieved when the urine is
drained out........I have blood in my urine all the time, sometimes visable &
all the time microscopic, when they scoped me & went into the left kidney
they found alot of hematuria,
but their diagnosis to me was they think its all Adhesions....They have been
removed off my kidneys & bladder & ureters evertime that they remove them off
all my abdominal organs!! I have an appointment with a urologist the one that
seen me in the hospital
& he wants to talk about the self catheridazation thing, & that kinda scares
me, but it would probally feel better....I go all day & drink fluids all day &
never have the urge to urinate, & alot of times cant.........I have the
problems with my bowels too...I had some of my intestines & part of my colon
removed due to Adhesions, so I've always had that problem for years.Well keep
me posted girl on how you are doing & what they find out, I'm curious, it
seems alots of people with Adhesions have this bladder problem, ya know???
Well hope all is pretty good with you, & you are in my prayers...
Hope you get back to me my personal e-mail is: SammyD832@aol.com
Feel free to vent, & chat with me, will be looking forward to hearing from
you..........
