I have had Lyme's, Babs and Bart for ten years now, but am having continuous problems with a neurogenic bladder which manisfests itself by pounding headaches and severe distention, only to be relieved by straight catherization. Does anyone have some feedback, support and/or suggestion as how to manage this problem. I would appreciate any help you may offer.

No, don't have that problem. The toxic overload is interfering with the brain and the bladder and the message is not communicated due to many neurological symptoms. I have no sensation down there, just get pounding aches or "wet brain syndrome", more hyperreflexic symptoms,which alerts me to having to check. If unable to urinate, I have straight cathing as the only alternative option. What a trip this has been this ten years! Some time soon I want that runaway train to stop.
