Default MS and Urinary Problems
Yeah this is kind of embarrassing to ask, but could MS contribute to bed-wetting? I'm only 24, and still have bouts where I cannot control my bladder at night time no matter if I drink or eat something before bedtime. Could MS cause this since now I'm newly DXed, and been suffering from this for years now?

It can be just one of many possible embarrassing symptoms of MS. For me it was bowel incontinence at night. I slept in adult diapers for a year at least, til I felt it was past.

Urinary incontinence is easier to deal with, IMO. Check with your neuro, but you might need to see a urologist. As for almost everything these days, there's a med for that!

Unfortunately yes Luke.. Although I don't have the problem at
night, I often must get up and seek the toilet...in a hurry.

It is one of the reasons, I have become an agoraphobic, sorta.
I don't really have the phobia anymore, but choose to stay safe at home.

Sparky's right, there are meds to control your bladder urgency.

Take care..

Lots of folks with neurological conditions have Neurogenic Bladder. This link explains about it:

I have spoken with my urologist last year about it, but the cost of it without insurance was like $75 for pills and then almost $300 for a nosespray. But they told me to just not drink nothing at night, which I did that but still had problems. Now that I have MS, it might explain a whole lot more of why its happening

A lot of us MSers have neurogenic bladder as well as bowel. It goes with the territory. Some have incontinence issues, such as what you are experiencing, others retain. I am a retainer and have lots of "comfy" bladder spasms.
