Is My Fever AD?

One last thought - still have the fever today, but I called back to the ER and they don't want me back. Said they checked everything last night, and have no more suggestions. This hospital is NOT SCI experienced, but it's the only local option my insurance will cover.

cornfedup- Like you I do not remember mention of fever with AD. Ever. This could be a case where App... would not have helped. How high does your temp go?

I'm really sorry you feel sick.

Do you have any swollen glands or lymph nodes? (A recent scan found that I have some of those in the front and the back of my neck, so they are on my mind right now.)

Thanks for all your responses! My temp ranges btwn 99 and 102. My normal is 96-97 so it's a good bump. Thankfully, the urologist who did this surgery is newish to me and IS a specialist in neurogenesis bladder. I'm so happy to finally have found him. He did run a series of CT scans recently to rule out stones, and I'm clean. I always monitor my stats regularly, and my BP, pulse, and O2 have been good. Urine is crystal clear, also.

So thanks to all of you, I guess I can rule out the AD suspicion. I thought I had read a discussion about it on App, but if Tetra doesn't remember it, I must be confused. I'll be calling the uro tomorrow, and I'm sure he'll start me on another round of iv antibiotics. He does not mess around with me, thankfully.

I appreciate all your help!

Yes, maybe. I don't have a suprapubic (SP) tube, so please help me visualize,...when they "moved" your SP tube, did they poke a new hole in your tummy or did they poke a new hole in your bladder? Or is there some other way that they "moved" it that I haven't thought of?

Alternative therapy-wise, please take some L-Ornithine for possible ammonia in the brain, i.e., causes headache. I would take L-lysine for the earache. Golden Seal, Colloidal Silver, Echinacea, Yogurt, Vitamin C, are other online suggestions, if you happen to have them on hand. Are you getting any whiff of that ammonia smell that comes with UTI? Bacteria make ammonia, so that smell means a UTI is present.

Yes, cornfedup, where are you, dear?

I'm back on this thread, one more time, to speak on L-Ornithine. I don't know for sure what I did wrong, but I've had a painful condition in both my kidneys for almost a week. All my kidney herbs (marshmallow root, gravel root, and hydrangea root) that used to cure me in a day, two, or at most three days, have only helped me "tread water", with very slow improvement. Then today, I realized that I could be taking a lot more L-Ornithine-- like 6 or 8 capsules during the day. When I did this, within hours, my terrible backpain through the kidney area was almost gone,...and I am not in pain right now. Apparently, it was an accumulation of ammonia causing the agony. And the ammonia is formed by bacteria---ammonia is the "pee" of the bacteria. So, there's still something wrong with my kidneys, but eliminating the ammonia has given me my life back. I don't have an aide right now, so I really need to be able to roll around, pick things up, transfer, cook, and change my diapers on-my-own. If you have any urinary tract problem at all, I highly recommend ordering L-Ornithing and keeping it on hand. I keep mine on my crowded bedside table.

P.S. I break open the L-Ornithine capsule and dump the powder into a cup, then add water, stir, and drink. L-Ornithine can be purchased 'loose' rather than in capsules, and that's how I intend to order it next time.
