Members connected over the relatable struggle of bladder control issues with MS, sharing how stress and nervousness can make peeing nearly impossible, while others experience the opposite with urgency and leaking. Several members shared practical strategies including self-cathing, medications like Myrbetriq and Myrbetriq, cranberry supplements, bladder retraining, acupuncture, and seeing a urologist for proper testing and treatment. A recurring theme was that bladder issues with MS vary widely from person to person, and finding the right combination of medical support and daily habits makes a big difference.

Stress does strange things to the body especially when MS is added to the mix. I avoid stress at all costs and will choose to walk away than engage in an argument. It is not worth my health. Things can always be revisited once tempers cool down.

I encourage anyone with Pee issues to see an urologist...It helped me. Looking back, I knew nothing about urologists. They CAN really help!

Maybe you should consider having a stimulator placed in your butt. Talk to Urology about it, cauterizing yourself could lead to UTI's. I am on my 2nd stimulator. It has to be changed every 5 years because the battery has to be replaced.

As a mental health professional, I see a lot of individuals who have anxiety. That alone can cause problems w urination. Add MS to the mix, and it can be difficult to diagnose what's causing the issue. Sometimes anxiety meds help or counseling, other times your PCP or MS doctor can order tests to rule out muscle or specific bladder issues. Praying you get relief soon. Hope this helps.
