bladder issue question?

Hey all - I know most or at least of lot of you have the "bladder issues".
Well I am curious does anyone else randomly have worse days without an infection? Just wondering if I will just forever not be able to know what the day brings "bladder wise" even though I am on 10mg of oxybutin.
Over the weekend (Saturday) I had an episode where out of nowhere I had to go really super bad, I was at a park and the portajohn was just a short walk thru the woods, however I knew I wouldn't make it - had my dh drive me over there and still barely made it - dribbled a bit.
So then on Tuesday I was shopping and I was trying on clothes in the dressing room and all of a sudden I have to go NOW - well I had to sit down & have a pep talk with myself and take some deep breaths get my own clothes on etc -then venture to the bathroom - I have been to this store many times and know where the bathroom is....well they moved around everything and it didn't look the same so I got panicked and thought I must be in a different location than I was thinking of.....so I stood in the aisle with my legs crossed leaning on my cart - thinking I am going to **** my pants and my dh will just have to come find me outside.......so anyways I took another few deep breaths and decided to just go look where I thought the bathroom was and thank god there it was! So made it in there -but barely and yes dribbled again good enough got my pants a little too - thankfully they were dark so you couldn't see. So now I am mortified and just want to leave - so I find my dh and we go home.
I know I have major anxiety when this happens which makes it worse but also I have the anxiety because I know I will pee my pants and holy embarrassing!!! So it is a never ending circle!
Anyone else have a good story to share so I know it isn't only me?
or anyone else know if this is just MS and meds aren't always going to help me? so I just need to be prepared??
Thanks much!
Marty

I know where you are coming from.. I have also had these problems myself, the difference is that now I wear protection so that if I do have an accident and leak it won't be so noticable.

It is a horrible feeling when you leak and can see it on your pants, you feel like everyone is looking at you when in reality they aren't. That is why I started wearing protection when I go out, just for those incidents.

I wish you the best and maybe wearing something while you are not at home is a choice you want to make.

Good luck and just know that you are not alone.
