Flomax-anyone else taking it????
by LATW, Sep 30, 2009 07:06AM
The thread on bladder issues makes me wonder if anyone else is using this.
It is for men but approved for use in women with MS.
It has really helped my situation. I have not had a bladder infection or pain since I started using it.
Now I can wait to urinate and have a normal amount of urine when I go, not just little tinkles!
I can go without having to concentrate on relaxing enough so that muscle with allow the urine to pass.
It has made a huge different! I just hope it keeps working for me.
My bowel issues are a whole other story. ( weird talking about such personal bodily functions to people I do not know)

I tried flomax when all this started last winter - for me it did nothing, and made my urgency even worse. I think I should maybe try it again since I have undergone the PT - maybe it would help in combination with everything else I'm doing.

It helps me empty completely with no struggle or pain. I hope others might give it a try.
The only way my insurance would pay since I am a woman is if I was diagnosed with MS. They were very specific about that. Since I am diagnosed it was not an issue.
Maybe try it again and give it some time. About a month I'd say.

i'm taking Hytrin for the post drips i've had for years. hasn't totally helped but has lessened the amount of post drip - a little.
my concentration/relaxing combo hasn't changed though. still have to be a bit alone to go. sure miss the ol days when i could just go anywhere anytime and carry on a conversation at the same time! LOL
as for bowel issues i can relate. that hasn't been "normal"/"consistent" since the first CSF infection in 1986.
i wonder if the intestinal pain is really spasms and the tightness in upper area is spasms.
