[QUOTE=mbsews;193823]DSD or detrusor sphincter dyssynergia is a common urinary symptom in MS and was one of my earliest symptoms. It means there is a lack of communication and coordination between the muscle that is suppose to relax to let urine out (urinary shincter) and the muscle that is supposed to contract to empty the bladder (detrusor). Zanaflex did help me but there are some others that work too...like Flomax.
![]() I've been there too. I couldn't pee for weeks unless I pushed hard and pressed on my bladder, then I got into self cathing and tra-la, easy peasy! After about 5 months of cathing, I'm only using them very occassionally now...like once a week or once a fortnight, instead of every toilet trip. I'm glad your's is settling down AMN, and I too hope it's just a little glitch for you. ![]()

Tell me something, you cathing ones, do your fingers work right, or are they like mine, numb & dumb (can't quite hold a pen or cup, etc.)?

Cin,
I hate to do this cause it's such a serious subject and I am in NO WAY making fun... but I woke up today and the first thing that came into my mind when I sat down for daily meditation in the meditation room was Marshall Tucker Band's song...Do you remember "Can't You See, oh can't you see..what that woman's been doing to me" When I was much younger and sillier, I used to sing it as .... "Can't you peeeee? Oh can't you pee..." ![]() ( end of OT silliness!) ![]()

AMN,
I know I'm coming in late with this, but what you're describing happens to me when I've had to take more than a usual amount of Percocets. (7.5/500s) I can tell I have to go, I know I need to go, but then I stand there and practically have to concentrate on it. Told the urologist about it, he did a sonogram (sp) on my bladder. ---Full and empty.--- Turns out it's just an odd side effect of the pain pills. Anyway, I hope you get the relief you need soon.

AMN, I hope you plan on following thru with the doctor visits..I'm not in the self-cathing club yet, but last neuro visit they did an ultrasound on my bladder and it wasn't good.
Kinda funny, actually..I don't feel like I have to go until I stand up & walk around. Within seconds I'm running to the bathroom ("running"..Ha ![]()
