I am not dxd with MS..gdtting worked up. Neuro and I decided nt to do anymore but follow up MRI in 6 months. I do have lesions. Almost immediately after this decision I urinated alll over myself...Gross I was very glad that I was home. I had a lilttle urge.
Is this what you mean?

Yeah, that's not the worst thing I've heard by any means!
I get stress incontinence, whether I'm full or not. I have to be careful when I laugh, sneeze, cough, whatever. I also have the urgency and lack of control when approaching the toilet... managed to wet myself twice. So far the muscles in that area are working okay, but I know I've got something broken - there's patches of numbness and things get tingly every once in a while... (but not in a fun way.)

hi,i was telling my bh the other day that im going to have to go to depends....you know ya gaotta do what ya gotta do...no shame in that....take care ...deb
The diapers are not really all that bad. I would be changing my clothes at least 3 times a day without them. It sucks worse than anything else about this whole darn disease, but we are fighters and that's not going to be the thing that sends me into a spiraling depression. It's okay, your not giving up when you by the depends. What you are actually doing is saving yourself the work of mopping the floor over and over. QUIX!
One more thing, you don't have to let your husband or boyfriend see them. Do the simple thing and always go to the bathroom first and take them off then when the cuddle session (haha) is over you gotta go to the bathroom again any way right? hahaheehee
I'll be praying,

As I understand it, overflow incontinence is the result of a bladder that does not send out appropriate signals that it is full. It eventually overfills and contracts without warning. Do you lose the entire contents of your bladder or have a near continuous dribble?
Did they measure your for a "residual volume" to see how much urine is left in the bladder after you have tried to void completely?
I have urge incontinence which is usually just dribbles, but recently I have had increasing episodes of complete loss of urine full volume. I am VERY tired of mopping the floor. All kinds of urinary dysfunction are common in MS, from retention (unable to empty), to sphincter spasm (unable to empty fully, or a start/stop stream) to a combination of bladder wall contraction opposed by the sphincter spasming closed giving horrible urges without warning and often some leaking. The latter is called Detrusor (bladder wall muscle) Sphinctor Dyssynergry (sp?).
What is your urologist's plan to treat this?
