Unfortunately I don't think I'm a candidate for any bladder medications because I have retention problems. I'm thinking of asking a referral to the urologist who I wen to before MS was even a consideration with me (Bladder issues were my first MS symptom) and maybe his treatment ideas will have changed now that he knows it's MS... I'm thinking since retention is becoming such an issue, self catheterization is likely going to be in my future. If we could find a medication to stop with the urgency, but let me use a catheter a couple times a day to fully empty my bladder, perhaps that would work. My neuro also mentioned botox injections into the bladder wall to help paralyze the muscles and therefore relieve the urgency... that's an idea too but it's also contraindicated in anyone with retention problems! I need to do something though, my problem with my bladder/incontinence is very severe.
