I had my first appointment with my new urologist yesterday. She wants me to have a urodynamics study, because my last one was ten years ago. I'm sure that a new generation of computers has changed the study protocol in the intervening years, and am curious to learn just how it has changed.

Several days ago, while working on the flower garden behind our house, I attempted to stand up, nearly lost consciousness, and fell against the wall, leaving some skin on the stones. When I regained my composure, I was soaked and needed to change both my diaper and pants. That could have happened in public, in a mall, on a sidewalk, or anywhere. Such incidents make life more interesting than it needs to be.

Thank God your alright. I know leaving some skin on the stones isnt great, but its better than busting your head open or breaking your hip or leg. I know where your coming from with the getting up and being so dizzy. Course, Im dizzy sitting down too. But boy is it ever worse when I stand up and try to walk. Im so sorry that you were soaked afterwards, but at least your not hurt bad. Thats the most important thing. Please be careful and know that I understand what you are going thru, Im right there with you.
Hugs and much love....Julie

indygal,
Thanks. Life can be exasperating sometimes.

I'm glad you're okay. Becoming dizzy can be caused by many things, if it happens often you may need to talk to your doctor.
Hope things are good as this entry was written a while age.
Take care.
Yesterday my neurologist told me that I have a severe vitamin B 12 deficiency. On doctor's orders, I have been taking a vitamin supplement which includes 300% of the minimum daily B 12 dose, but I still am deficient. My neurologist said that many of my neurological symptoms (ataxia, tinnitis, collapsing, vertigo, dizzyness, etc.,) could be caused or exacerbated by this deficiency, and that, if left untreated, it could eventually cause dementia. I'm still a little shocked. She wants me to go to my family doctor to try to discover just what is causing this.

Hey Paxton,,, I hope you really like your new urologist. Not sure what a urodynamics is suppose to do or show, but whatever it is, I pray that everything comes out great. Hopefully is will show the dr. what they can do to help you out. Sorry its been awhile since Ive talked to you. Hope everything is going great. Keep me posted on whats going on and if you want, explain to me what that word means LOL...Love ya lots....Julie

Julie, the urodynamics test I had some ten years ago involved checking the nerve response of my inguinal region with needle electrodes, inserting a catheter into my bladder, filling it with saline, and recording the vesicle pressure and detrusor nerve response. I was in so much pain that the embarrassment went right past me.

Been there done that. Let me know how things may have changed. Mine test was several years ago also. Two nurses and a bedside commode with a lot of wires.

I'm sure it has changed alot. Good luck with the test.
