Some may remember my neighbor that had RP in June this year.  He is
still incontinent and is now seeing a nurse that specializes in incontinence
problems.  She hooks him up with electrodes and teaches him which muscles to
use.  He does what I suppose is a Kegel exercise several times a day.  The
routine she has him on is hold for 5 seconds, then release for 20 seconds,
and repeat I think he said ten times.  He has been going for a couple weeks
now and is getting better.  He told me that he could not stop the stream
when his bladder was full, so that sounds like he was still totally
incontinent to me.  Anyway, he gave me her card.  She practices in three
different offices and speaks around the state on the subject.  He sees her
in a urology practice, but she is just renting space there it sounds, she is
not in the practice itself.
   So has anyone else heard of anything like this?  Maybe just supply and
demand, lots of us out there so go into business teaching men how to do the
Kegel exercises properly, or a good idea and good medicine?  What do you
think out there?
   Yes, I may call her.  Do not know if insurance will cover something like
this and at this point do not know the cost.  I will let you know when I do.
   Thank you.
