Hi Penny, put away the blush, we've all been there. Baclafen is a relaxant and could likely be the culprit. Since it wears off between doses, you could test your theory and know pretty surely.

But, before you experiment with meds, it's a good idea to call your neuro and explain. They know more about this than we do here. Keep the faith, kid, you'll find the right meds for you.

I didnt have that problem when on it but it sure sounds like it could be part of the meds side effects.......Cin is right ....you should ask your DR.....

and dont worry hunny if bed wetting is the worse thing that happens at least your at home in the dark in your own bed....it could be worse, but it is a bad enough sx to make a call to the dr.........good luck!!!!!

Yep, it sure sounds like you're relaxing a it too much. Maybe a reduction in doseage would help?

Like the others said, there are worse places to have this happen. Like me poohing my britches at a nice restaurant. Thank heavens I was in my scooter and made it to the restroom, before anyone noticed....I hope!

Hi Penny Lane:

It's not very pleasant to wake up to a wet bed.

My neurogenic bladder causes the opposite problem - retention, so Baclofen helps with that problem.

And as Sally said, having your bowel let go in public isn't pleasant. I've had it happen several times - just when I thought it was safe to come out of the bathroom....

Quality of life issues usually have a solution. Your neuro should be able to help.

So do you know any solutions to prevent bowel incontinence then? I haven't ever heard of anything except a bowel maintenance program that may or may not work with sluggish bowels. We can try to regulate our bowel movements, but that doesn't always work the way we'd like.

Penny lane, I know that with baclofen you have to be careful because it not only helps with spasticity, but it could weaken your legs and your legs may "need" that spasticity to actually stand or walk. So you have to be careful your legs don't become too weak while on it. So it does make sense that it could relax the bladder muscles too. Maybe you have a spastic bladder and need that spasticity there to tighten the bladder muscles.

Ain't this disease fun?
