I feel for you ladies! I have the same incontinence problems. I never bore any children of my own, so when I started having urinary problems (before my mg diagnosis, but about the same time all my other symptoms started), I had no clue what it was. When I was finally diagnosed with mg, I made a remark to my neuro that it was good to know where the incontinence came from. He of course, said that mg does not affect the bladder. He did blink and agree when I informed him that last I knew I had control over my urine! Said he never thought of it that way! I have gone to a urologist and had all kinds of tests and basically, there is nothing to do but wear a pad at all times. I've gotten used to it (along with a lot of other mg problems), but it sure ain't no fun!
FYI, I saw a specialist at Vanderbilt and she recommended botox injections in my bladder every 6 months; general anesthesia and all. I said thanks, but no thanks.
