Yes, I have een self cathing now for roughly five years. Each and every time I do, I get pissed off (pun intended). I am not sure if anything could have been done when I was first diagnosed with a distended bladder, but a cystoscopy performed by a quack urologist (IMO) ultimately inflated my already weak bladder to the point that it is no longer functional. Now I am cathing 4-5 times daily. And yes, traveling and cathing away from home is inconvenient and frustrating since the use of urinals is no longer an option for me.
