This last past weekend I got really very sick but it was just a very high temperature and a headache I think it was something likeAutonomic Dysreflexia
But none of the other symptoms I was on two separate antibiotics for urinary tract infections in the past month and I thought I had another one because my catheter was leaking I have no idea why I think it has happened before but I never really paid attention but yesterday and today my bowel movements were very long like a snake two of them so I was thinking maybe my intestines were backed up because it has happened before or not backed up but because I'm always lying in bed it doesn't really move but after my routine today it's going to the bottom my headache is totally gone and my temperature has gone down back to normal I was wondering if there was anyone out there that has any kind of helpful opinions or advice as to what I can do to avoid those problems clean out my stomach every now and then I don't use deposittory's because I already have my bowel program so I was just wondering if anyone had a new recommendations I also noticed that when I drink beer the next day it helps to clean out my stomach with normal stool
I almost forgot another thing usually when I have a movement that needs to come out for some reason the pressure causes my bladder to start leaking around the catheter
But as soon as I and the cavity and everything goes back to normal
I have been a quadriplegic for the past six going on seven years but all information would be helpful thank you very much for your timing consideration

Yeah don't worry bout it, it probably is the bowels being packed up. I have had it a number of times, I don't ever get a good result when I go to the loo, I usually just wait for the same symtoms you have shown and I know thats my cue to jump on the toilet. Be careful though Autonomic Dysreflexia can be dangerous and if it comes on strong it can be damaging
