Well, I am still seeing an improvement in my voids. Not having to push, getting a much better volume, and the amount of bladder spasms, urgency, and urethral pain that I have post-void have all improved.
My soreness and pain is a little better today, but I feel like I've hit a wall. I woke up this morning and when I stood up, I could barely walk. I went back to sleep until a bit after noon...so I slept almost 11 hours or so. I just feel completely zapped of all energy, completely exhausted. I am also starting to get very warm...so I am keeping track of my temperature religiously. I am normally in the low to mid 97 range, which is what I was yesterday, and I just checked it and I am 98.3. So, if I keep going up, I will definitely call the doc. I am just frightened of infection!!!
But, despite my lack of energy, I do feel like there is significant improvement in my bladder function. I have been changing the lead settings every so often on the unit like Paul, the rep, told me to do, to try and find the best one. I am now back at the original setting, just a little lower on the dial setting, because I felt I had the best voids with this setting. But, in a couple days, I have to switch leads entirely and go to the one on the other side of my butt! I just can't wait till this trial is over!!!! I love Patrick, but he's definitely cumbersome and I am always frightened that I am going to knock him out of the pocket in my shirt or turn the dial way up by accident.
I do find that certain ways of sitting still cause an uncomfortable feeling of pulsation, and Paul said that was normal, and typically sitting straight up is the worst. I have been trying to adjust the setting to reduce the uncomfortable feeling while still getting good results.
