Question: Does MS also cause diarrhea? Like this long?

Hey there Debbie!
When I was first diagnosed I experienced the bladder dysfunction on multiple occasions, especially in a flare.
In my last flare (3/2011), out of nowhere, I had to go to the bathroom and didn't have enough time to get there. It was so fast and abrupt. I hadn't had a tummy ache or anything it just came. It wasn't diarrhea, more on the loose side, but there was no control in keeping it in. I called the neuro and they said that was most definitely bowl dysfunction. You might have had an area worked on that has affected those muscles.

ms is really mean and lame. I did ACTHAR gel for that flare. Steroids are never fun. Still to this day have sensory issues in my hands (can't feel them and they seem very stiff), but I have luckily not experienced anymore bowl dysfunction.
I hope things get better for!!
