I did want to bring this to the Forum but do not want to appear indelicate. It seems that both of these matters have become troublesome for me in that when I have to pee, I have to pee NOW, and also there are bits of poo that release themselves involuntarily - no matter the time of day or what level of activity I’m experiencing.

I think that for me, this might be part of the generalized muscle weakness that presents with MG.

Does anyone have similar experiences or ideas they might be willing to share?

Thank you.

bladder and **** control.The involutary **** problem is particularly annoying since I spend a lot of time running back and forth to the bathroom. It is manageable only by wearing paper underpants. It is worse in the morning after I take Prednisone and Mestinon since they cause diarhhea even though
I eat food before taking the meds.
