So do you know any solutions to prevent bowel incontinence then? I haven't ever heard of anything except a bowel maintenance program that may or may not work with sluggish bowels. We can try to regulate our bowel movements, but that doesn't always work the way we'd like.

Penny lane, I know that with baclofen you have to be careful because it not only helps with spasticity, but it could weaken your legs and your legs may "need" that spasticity to actually stand or walk. So you have to be careful your legs don't become too weak while on it. So it does make sense that it could relax the bladder muscles too. Maybe you have a spastic bladder and need that spasticity there to tighten the bladder muscles.

Ain't this disease fun?
