[TMIC] TV program extra

I saw on the TV show Extra a woman who takes Botox every 4 months into
her legs to help relieve the spasticity caused by MS. Has any of you
tried Botox and if so with what results.

You know that with this TM, some of us lose control of bodily functions and that was one of them.

You will do just fine. Just getting back to work will give you the energy to hang in there. I know exactly how you feel. I had to go back with a walker. It was a bit humiliating but God gives us what we need when we need it. So stay strong, remember you are never alone, God will always send you an angel to help you if you need it. I cannot open many of the heavy doors at school, clinics etc. but it seems that there's always some kind person ready to help me - some much older than I and some very surprising young angry looking kids that turn out to be angels.!!!

Bladder problems are very much a part of TM, but that sounds  like symptoms

Sally,
Yes, bladder control is an issue, go to this website and look under the 
symptoms section:

http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/transversemyelitis/detail_transversemyelitis.htm#133033234

It includes this:   From this wide array of symptoms, four classic features of 
transverse myelitis emerge: (1) weakness of the legs and arms, (2) pain, (3) 
sensory alteration, and (4) bowel and bladder dysfunction


It seems the muscles do not work as normal.  I have had TM for over four years 
and have to do what I used to do with my children---you'd better try to go 
otherwise sometimes there is an urgency and  I almost don't make it.  I know 
with men over a certain age there are prostrate problems too, that cause trips 
to the bathromm during the night, but TM defintely is known to create bladder 
problems.

HA!  That was part of the hiring process when I was interviewing for a
nursing position.  I would always ask if they liked to laugh and have fun
and if not, they were out the door.  There are so many things that can make
you cry with your patients.  A nurse could have been the smartest in her
class but if she/he didn't have compassion, a good attitude nor a sense of
humor then they would not have 'fit' in with our group.  I also wouldn't
allow back stabbing, a real no-no. Thanks, Pam!!  Jeanne

Re: [TMIC] Bladder control

2009-01-29 Thread gorbat
I am in diapers 24/7 due to incontinence of both types.

I had a really fun test where they filled my bladder with liquid (water or 
saline - something like that) and monitored the signal to/from the brain that 
says PEEE.  By the way, the method by which they monitored this was with 
a wire they stuck up between my ohemmm and my ahemmm - too fun.  So I reached 
900cc and still no signal.  They stopped the test so I didn't get a stretched 
bladder.  The doc had wanted to know why I was having problems with sudden 
geysers of urine and no warning.

Point of all this was supposed to tell them how my bladder communicated because 
having too much urine collect in the bladder may cause it to back up into the 
kidneys and harm the kidneys to the point of potentially requiring future 
dialysis or transplant.  They set me up with catheters and all the related 
supplies so I could drain my bladder at regular intervals and prevent back-ups. 
 This hasn't been too successful because I can't feel my hands and can't feel 
down there - making getting the cath in a very interesting activity.

Your husband is obviously getting a signal to urinate, just too frequently.  
This could be tm or something else, but there are meds that can reduce the 
number of trips he has to make, if this is indicated.  Best wishes.

Re: [TMIC] Bladder control

2009-01-29 Thread jrushton
Hi, Sally!  It's nice to hear from you!

When I first got home from rehab, they had set me up to to cath's and after
a day of trying to prop a mirror to see my ohemmm/ahemmm, I said 'enough of
this!' and began making myself go to the bathroom every half hour.  I, too,
have no feeling and so it was awhile before it began working on it's own.  I
guess my brain realized I was just too stubborn and was NOT going to use
those horrible caths.  I still have to use protection because occasionally
my brain says 'I have to go...NOW' and it's already too late but the
protection if just part of my life.  I now go about every two hours and most
of the time, it works.  It's just part of my life.  If we go out, I use
extra protection and always go any chance I can.  As far as the BM, I talked
about that in an earlier e-mail and have that worked out pretty well.  This
issue is a reality and a very much part of TM so it is good to hear how
others work it out (oops...pun).   Jeanne

I sure would, too.  It is not worth the worry and if it is the prostate,
they have different meds that can help it.  Please keep us posted??  Jeanne

That is the same I said in the beginning of TM, because I hatet the 
catherisasion in the hospital. Untill I learned to do it myself, instead of 
sitting on the toilet half the night, just before sleeping and sleep the hole 
night in one peace. In a few days I did not mind to do it, at all. It brought 
back the rest in my body and legs. He is lucky that his bladder stays closed, 
because it can also the other way around, as you could read.
 
he just has to put a knob over in his mind. I caterise three times a day, right 
out of bed in the morning, just before dinner and before going to sleep. 
Between, just like your husband, little pees. When the bladder is full, it 
opens not so well as it is been half full, is my expirence. Ones he is on that, 
there will be much more rest during the day, and he will be more active for 
pleasure instead of using all his power to go to the toilet the hole day.

Hi Guys
 
Am I right in thinking that bladder control can be an issue with TM? My TM 
husband thinks its not, and that his visits to the loo 7-10 times a night and 
needing to suddenly pee urgently at any time have nothing to do with his TM!
 
Kind regards

I had it done 2 months ago and after the deep burning pain went away, the 
spasms were gone for about a week but started back a little stronger but I only 
get about 2 a day now. I doubt if I'll do it again.
