I took rapaflo for about 2 weeks, and have been off of it for 6 days now. I am still sleeping.

Maybe this would work for you?

He was going to change me to flomax, but right now I am drug free.

I developed a side-effect of nasal congestion and sneezing from the rapaflo (about 2.5% of folks do that).

Good luck.

Thank you DnvrFox!
This is something to research.
Perhaps a secret ingredient for rappers too?

FWIW, the urologist said this was common in folks who had back/spine fusion and associated realignment at the L-4, L-5 level, as there is no way to NOT mess with the nerves controlling your - err - - - - well - - - - P.

Also, I was retaining about 220 CC of fluid in my bladder, even when I thought I had emptied it. They use an ultrasound device to measure that,

Hope you are doing much better now and are withdrawing all your savings at each transaction.

Well, you know what they say.

Like The Weak Link suggests-see a urologist or your family practice guy.

Substitute equal volumes of water for coffee, tea, sodas, etc. and you will continue with large urinary output.

I give, Link. What do they say?

"The person who treats himself has a fool for a doctor and a fool for a patient."

I found another one! This attaches a little differently.

I am concerned that leg movement while peddaling would loosen the tubes.
That would be tube bad.

Urine trouble if that happened...

And I thought that was "pie no more" - telling us to stop our annual pie ride. Thanks for the correction!

For any one else having similar difficulties, a friend sent me this BUMMER list today of ten foods to avoid.

http://www.care2.com/greenliving/10-...e-bladder.html

Abbreviated here:

1. Avoid: Oranges, grapefruit, pineapple
Also avoid citrus in juice form (orange juice, grapefruit juice, lemon juice).

Better: Substitute nonacidic whole fruits, such as bananas, apples, pears, and berries.


2. Avoid: Chocolate

Better: Go dark. Dark chocolate — above 70 percent cocoa — is more likely to satisfy a choco-tooth in very small (one- to two-ounce) amounts.


3. Avoid: Coffee and black tea — even decaf

Better: Drink herbal tea, which has no caffeine.


4. Avoid: Hot sauce, chili peppers, wasabi

Better: Choose cooled-down versions of favorite dishes, using herbs, garlic, and other strong flavors in place of spicy ones.


5. Avoid: Sugar and honey

Better: Try Stevia, a natural sweetener 100 times sweeter than table sugar. Or even better, aim to adapt over a couple of weeks of withdrawal to a less-sweet taste.


6. Avoid: Tomato products

Better: Substitute mushrooms and other vegetables, a thin white sauce, beans, or other ingredients wherever you’d use tomatoes or tomato sauce.


7. Avoid: Alcohol

Better: Drink cranberry juice on the rocks (unless you’re sensitive to cranberry; if so, you could try herbal tea on the rocks).


8. Avoid: Milk and cheese

Better: Tinker to see which products you tolerate best.


9. Avoid: Energy drinks

Better: Get enough exercise and sleep to boost your energy naturally.


10. Avoid: Carbonated drinks

Better: Drink straight water on the rocks or flavored (flat) vitamin waters.

the only things on that list that I don't like is coffee,there wouldn't be anything left to eat! Glad to see that there's no mention of pie.

This is the way to go. http://www.sneakyleaker.com/

The site appears to be down right now but it is the condom and tube type but without the collection bag..you just lead the tube out somewhere.
After all, we are men and the world is our urinal. Why would you want a collection bag? Just be sure it doesn't dump on your RD and you are good to go. :>)

scottogo 11-20-10 08:25 PM

Thanks but that page has already leaked out.

Be Forewarned: A Cautionary Tale
 
An AP report

TSA pat-down leaves Mich. man covered in urine


ROMULUS, Mich. — A bladder cancer survivor from Michigan who wears a bag that collects his urine said the head of the Transportation Security Administration called to apologize for an airport pat-down that caused the bag to spill its contents on his clothing.

Tom Sawyer, a 61-year-old retired special education teacher, said the experience left him in tears before he caught a flight to Orlando, Fla., on Nov. 7.

"I was absolutely humiliated. I couldn't even speak," the Houghton Lake man told MSNBC.com.

Sawyer said TSA chief John Pistole called him Monday and apologized on behalf of the TSA. Sawyer told The Detroit News that he "very graciously" accepted Pistole's apology.

"Here I am, just an average citizen from a small town," Sawyer told the Detroit Free Press. "I told him, 'I only want training for the agents on medical conditions.'"

Earlier Monday, Pistole said he was concerned about people such as Sawyer who have had uncomfortable experiences with agents. He told CBS' "The Early Show" that he had "great concern over anybody who feels like they have not been treated properly or had something embarrassing" happen.

Sawyer said that once he got through security, he changed his bag, but didn't have time to change his clothing and had to board the plane soaked in urine.

"I was embarrassed to death," he told the Free Press.

Sawyer was diagnosed with bladder cancer three years ago and had to have a procedure that left him with a urostomy bag to catch rerouted urine.

Claire Saxton, executive director of the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network, said she's concerned Sawyer's story is indicative of a larger trend.

"TSA agents need to be trained to listen when someone tells them they have a health issue, because the one thing that Tom in his account talked about was he tried to explain and they just weren't even interested in listening," Saxton told The Associated Press.

"No one living with an 'ostomy' should be afraid of flying because they're afraid of being humiliated," she said

"It's in the bag."
