had my catheter change last weekend and all went well or so i thought but then late Monday night i felt my legs tighten and just felt a bit strange so went to bed and then the fever hit me, when i got up Tuesday boy was i poorly and spent all day and night in bed.

Wednesday i felt a little better but felt some discomfort in my bottom area so took my self off to the docs and after examination an old problem had flared up, acute prostatitis sorry for the spelling, antibiotics were issued for a staggering 4 weeks.

next comes the double trouble not only is my prostate infected on Thursday after my urine was dipped that too was infected.

the only thankful thing out of this is that the bowel disease i am diagnosed with is fine thank the heavens.

writing this i am having a few problems but do feel a lot better.

question for anyone on here. does anyone else when they get a fever suffer with bad headaches and also does it affect their breathing? i am a member of the brittish heart foundation and on there i asked the same question and interesting that some others also get the same headaches with fevers.

i have all ways pondered this as to why it happens so would be interesting to get more input from forum users.

finally my sigmoid investigation is now booked in for the 30th of this month so i will let others know how it goes and hopefully some results, something wasn't clear on the ct when it was performed.

I regretted reading about your current medical difficulties. I've had prostate and bladder infections, thankfully, not recently. I hope the antibiotics will soon do their work for you. As for fevers causing headaches, I guess it's possible, although that has never happened to me. Report back when you can.

Yes I have had this because of my catheter. I also was on antibiotics for a month. The danger time for me was always after I had the catheter Changed. I take cefelexin for three days before the tube change and this has he enormously. Drinking is vital. I have 12 to 14 drinks per day. I get headache with reader too. Hope you feel better soon.

I hope you recover quickly and get relief!

The Sickest I have ever been in my life was due to a catheter, I had a surgery to try to fix a stricture that was causing blockage and was left with a catheter for an extended time, no matter how often I tried to keep everything clean and be sterile I ended up with a very bad infection. I now really have an affinity to them (never got sick using diapers) I have been left with a Catheter several times in my life in attempts to "fix" my bladder issues and the catheters Always gave me grief.

Diapers are not for everyone but they are the best for me personally.
