Has anyone tried to order reusable catheters lately please?!!! I ticked box on repeat prescriptions and was told they have been discontinued. Apparently they are still available on male prescriptions?!!! I’m afraid I was so upset I cried (in private that is!!). I can order speedicath but as I use about 8 a day I asked nurse if I could maybe try permanent catheter. She told me that I am on waiting list for Botox, for 3rd course that is, and permanent catheter wouldn’t really work for my type of bladder problems. I saw peristeen nurse at my hospital last week and am due to try that any time now. She didn’t want me to take codeine phosphate any more, just immodium. I am now really worried that even though my system of micralax enemas, immodium and codeine phosphate wasn’t 100% safe it was better than just immodium. I am really sorry I have moaned so much I think it’s because I am on my own a lot when my lovely husband is at work and I can’t really talk to him about any of this stuff. Also my feet are so swollen and horrible that I imagined I could have permanent catheter, take diuretics or something and my feet and ankles would return to normal size!!! Think I live in la la land!!
