[TMIC] Bladder

2011-02-12 Thread Janice Nichols
Hi!!  Seems like things have been really quiet with our group.  
Hope it isn’t because of health, just busy people.   

Just wanted to tell those of you still having problems with the bladder that, 
after 4 years, I am definitely improving. I am having some “dry” nights – 
not always, but definitely more
than before.Actually some are dry and some are drier.  There is always 
hope.Those of you who are worried about the “2-year” improvement time, the 
improvement still happens
after the 2 years. Actually, I wonder if some of the 
problem is the baclofen that many of us take to ward off the leg spasms. We 
need the baclofen to be able to sleep, but it
puts us into a deep enough sleep that we can’t feel the urge to pee.  And, the 
urge to pee now feels different than the urge did before I got TM.   I, for 
one, am not going to stop taking baclofen.Couldn’t sleep without it and the 
frustration of the spasms is not worth a “dry” pad.Oh well, just wanted to 
let you “newbies” know that improvement keeps coming – we just have to be
patient.

I am afraid I would be a walking, sort of, zombie if I took that much 
medication. Hope it keeps you comfortable.

  I wish baclofen made me sleepyi am taking 100 mg a day. maybe i should 
take more.
  pluse i am taking 2400 mg of neurontin and 3 hydrocodone 5's and 2 ativan 
.5's

  lose the bladder control every now and then but nt often enough to 
mention. i reckon i was blessed in that TM didnt rob me of those functions.

  still depressed and dont want t talk about it.

  maybe in 3 more years.
