Has anyone tried these new OCT patches? I'm on day 11, but so far am not experiencing any improvement. From what I've read, it takes two weeks for them to start working, but I can't help feeling a little discouraged. I thought that maybe by now, they would work just a little.

TeeHee, I've never heard of the either.

Hmmmmm, why just for females?

I think maybe it's only for women is because overactive bladder is a female thing...? And now I'm wondering if overactive bladder is different than the problems caused by MS...does anyone know?

OK, now you guys got me to wondering, and BTW, I should know better by now not to speculate because I'm almost always WRONG. Anyway, I found this:

Both. At first the PCP tried to attribute bladder to my age and having my twins birth. I wasn't DXed yet, but I kept insisting it was neurological. And it was. Hard for some to tell difference. I was persistent (or PIA, hard for most doctors to tell difference).
