Starting? It sucks, period.

Vesicare helped me. Oxybutin makes my mouth a desert, but really helped. I use it when I'm going out and uncertain of available facilities. Doesn't do everything, but helps a lot. I sleep 8 hours now as Oxybutin helps enlarge bladder capacity. I take neither now. But step 1 sould be seeing a doctor about UTI.

I was DXed with MS in 02, last 4 in a chair. Everyone is different and
MS really strikes different things. Someone once said "If you've seen one case of MS you've seen one case". I am PPMS. This seems to affect brain stem more with walking involved. I have relatively few pain problems or cognitive issues. Doesn's mean with MS that tomorrow won't be different.

I do pee a lot, but am not incontinent. (Shoot, I'm also getting older) DH (a non-MSer) pees at @4:15 AM with me when I wake him up. Then I do back go bed for awhile, but we are early risers.

I try to drink water during day. Urine should be light colored.
