I found a little article on MS and urinary incontinence: Urinary incontinence in MS is caused by sclerotic plaques in your central nervous system. These interfere with the nerve signals to your brain from your bladder and sphincter muscles. This can result in the muscles involved in urination being unable to coordinate. This condition is called “detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia” or DSD.

People with only minor MS symptoms can suffer from DSD, as well as those with major MS impairments.
You should speak to your physician about treatment to allow better function and control. Prayers 2 U sweetness <3

Something I've realized is that even when I think I'm done peeing, I'm not, and always have leakage afterwards, so now I always keep trying before getting up. It's just my new normal now.

I have all the problems that you people have talked about. I wear "panties" at nite to avoid any spillage in the bed. Misery loves company, I didn't realize how big a problem it is. Hell getting old and have MS at
the same time!
