The 80% probably means anyone, with MS, who may have had an incident/accident. Heck, that could be 80% of all people..

Old neighborhood neighbors loved making Big (heavy) Joyce laugh so hard pee ran down her leg. 2 kids, age, laughter, weight - she had no MS but they could and did. A neat but strange neighborhood. I wasn't yet DXed, but nobody did that to me since I didn't respond.

Okay, so I'm one of the few here who does suffer from incontinence..but I had four kids...their weights were-9lb. 1 1/2oz.; 10 lbs 4 1/2oz.; 10 lbs. 5oz.; and the girl 9 lb. 12oz.
And my mom and sis both suffered from incontinence. It can be inherited, I know.
I'm on meds to stop the urge incontinence. It has lessened; the stress incontinence is worse, but it's because of surgery that made it that way, not MS.

I also agree-we can be an informed patient, but just be wary of the self-fulfilling prophecy syndrome. If you keep thinking it will happen to you, then it just might.
MS has many symptoms, and many people experience different things.
Try to concentrate on what you CAN do, not on what you can't...
And tune in here often...lots of great info, lots of laughs, some tears and a whole bunch of hugs!!

The twins together were 10 lbs, 6 ounces. I call them my 10 pound baby. My friend (who did not have MS) after birthing 4 kids says her bladder fell out and she pushed it back in. Can bladders do that? I heard of happening with cows.

yes, they can....it's called a "prolapsed bladder".

It can happen to uterus's (uteruses? uteri?) too.

It usually takes surgery to put them back tho.

It happened to Jim's granny. She had dementia too and although it wasn't funny, it was. She came out with her legs spread wide saying "Looooooorrrrrddddddyyyyyy what in the world is this?"

She was fine once they hung it back up.

Two babies here. One 8.3lbs. 19.5 inches long, the other 10.10lbs. 24 inches long. If I so much as sneeze or laugh too hard I better have those legs crossed!

Eric, aren't you glad you asked now?

Hee hee Sandy...I just had surgery for a prolapsed bladder...which made the incontinence worse. Only 10% of patients who undergo this surgery have increased incontinence...lucky me
It's a girl thing...don't worry, Eric

NMSS.org is awesome, we are the folks living with this disease, and can tell you from personal experience what is or isnt working. Many of us have done extensive research.

In this group we have many very well educated folks. Some in the traditional sense, and some by the school of life. Most of us have tried this or that, or the other. Many of us have tried just about every drug out there for this MS monster, and what works great for one person, doesnt do much for another. This monster rarely affects two people in exactly the same way, even if you are identical twins! I have met twins with MS and one was in a chair, and the other was working full time in a hard job 12 hours a day, and running marathons. I have met twins that one twin has MS, and the other twin doesnt have MS!

Even if you do end up with bladder issues, there are TONS of ways to either deal with it, or medicate it, or be well hidden. This person peeing in the parking lot at Walmart sounds like they have other issues on top of MS. Walmart has FREE bathrooms to use, and they do an ok job at keeping them clean. Most every store out there has free bathrooms, and if you are having bladder trouble, you would learn where all of these spots are, and never let yourself get to the point of peeing in public.

Are they starting you on Meds? injections? pills? Have you done the MRI? the spinal tap? (many of us didnt have to get that)

Glad you stumbled in. Hope we can calm your fears.
I even saw on Nmss.org under symptoms that 80% will have continence issues..

Quote..Bladder dysfunction, which occurs in at least 80% of people with MS, can usually be managed quite successfully. Treatment strategies for bladder management include dietary and fluid management, medications, and intermittent or continual catheterization (inserting a thin tube into the bladder to remove urine). end quote

I have learned that treatment are taken if it occurs though and by going with the stories here it is very much managed with not having accidents or using what I fear most is external garments. I have more to go over with my specialist(meeting another specialist on Thursday and I will bring up continence. Maybe I can do things right now that may help prevent it?
I do not drink soda now as I learned it aggravates the bladder.

I've had my MRI and it is suggestive of MS, meeting another specialist on Thursday. I'm still processing, but all the responses about my biggest fear about it on here is very promising and I feel a whole lot better...much better. I bet it won't happen to me and I feel I can do this...more than I did a few days ago.

Thank you
