You need to be referred to the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery at Queen's Square - if you are diagnosed there with Fowler's Syndrome you may be eligible for an interstim implant. http://www.ion.ucl.ac.uk/fowlersyndrome/

Hi, hooverio

I saw the professor of uro-neurology there but she did not know what to do with me and only suggested taking my indwelling catheter out. She said that my health problems are too complex for her to deal with...

She has just discharged me without testing me for fowlers syndrome and does not want to see me again unless the lumbar puncture results come back negative.

To be honest, I do not understand her logic as she could still treat whatever bladder retention I have with a neurostimulator even if the lumbar pnucture does show something?

I am real confused...

I would definitely not want to see her again as it was pointless in my opinion. They must think I have nothing to do...

Is there anywhere else better that treats patients with more respect and is up-to-date in treatment options?

Kind regards

DS
