Do you know if you have a spinal lesion? It seems like those are more likely to be the culprit for the type of symptoms you're having.

Have you done a round of steroids? Whenever I've had a bad flare, I've taken IV or oral steroids and started feeling better pretty quickly. Also, if you have an infection anywhere, it can cause your MS to flare up.

I've become very cautious about rx drugs for symptoms, like the bladder meds, because of the side effects and long term consequences. I was on 27 different meds, and I didn't know anymore what was a MS symptom and what was a side effect! Try anything you can think of that "does no harm" first, like a TENS unit, or massage, or acupuncture.

I know you must be miserable. I hope you find some relief soon! I have some of the same issues, but not as severe as you. You can PM me if you have any questions you don't want to post publicly. I have no boundaries! I've been known to embarrass doctors!

I wish you wellness.
