Incontinence & botox
Hello everyone - I know on the old site, we had a long discussion about mg and incontinence and I think the general concensus was that it is a problem that is worsened by mg.
Anyhoooo - I have been trying to do something about mine since I am having a lot of problems. It is difficult to treat with meds since the cause of the problem is "overactive bladder" and the treatment is a drug that slows down the muscles which is the last thing those of us with mg want to do!
I was referred to a specialist at Vanderbilt and she is recommending botox injections in the back of my bladder. She says it will last about 6 months but should definately help (if not stop) the incontinence.
Has anyone else had this done? Right now I am scheduled for Nov 17 at Vanderbilt to have this done. Any comments?
