Is Modafinal used for treating MS? I never knew this. I was prescribed Modafinal & took it for a while but it just didn't help with fatigue. They switched me to Armodafinil & that did even less. I was put on it for my Narcolepsy/Idiopathic Hypersomnia tho to help with excessive daytime sleepiness. Curious is there anyone dealing with Narcolepsy or any sleep disorders also? I'd like to find something that works, feels horrible being so tired constantly.

Both InterStim devices and Botox injections are potential options for managing overactive bladder symptoms in MS. Botox can relax bladder muscles, reducing urgency and incontinence, but it needs to be repeated every 3-6 months. InterStim is a small device implanted to stimulate nerves controlling the bladder. It’s more permanent but involves surgery. Many find these effective, but experiences vary. Discuss with your doctor to determine the best fit for you.
