When I get tired after walking in the mall I start leaning over like the hunchback of NDame and can't pull my body back up. I also have to wear adult protection for bowel and urinary accidents.

@A MyMSTeam Member Hi Tracey..I use Oxybutrin recently and it worked for me immediately. Actually I only take half of the prescription as it makes my mouth dry but even at that it works. I might try something like Metamucil for the bowel issues. It only makes sense if you think of it causing formation of things..rather than the runs..making it easier to control..since we have little control in these areas.

hi I don't have the back problems and wish I could walk ten feet,but what keeps me going and not resting as much is one of those neck wraps, but you have to move it around or the cooling vest. I think or feel heat plays a biger role in this ms stuff.see how hot the wrap gets and how much farther you can go

I know what you mean when you are talking about your back, I can't last very long when I'm in a store or even at home on my feet. My spine between my shoulder-blades hurts so bad I find my self slouching over. I've practicly stopped going to large stores anymore, it's just too much to deal with. Thankfully I haven't had the bowel issues. @A MyMSTeam Member What was the name of the med you started for your bladder?
