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.

botox injections for spasticity and have had moderately decent results.*

Jeanne,I'm right there with you on thatbut I'm not working so I haven't had the "pleasure" of releasing a "butt sneeze" (that's my humorous name for them) around anyone but my familyI always get the evil eye from my wife when we're in bed and it happens..but she knows I can't help
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

Bladder problems are very much a part of TM, but that sounds like symptoms
of prostrate problems as well. Definitely should get it checked out.

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
Butt sneeze?? Oh that is classic! I don't work any more, either, but the
family get's the joy around here! I've blamed squeaky boards on the floor,
the cat, the dog, you name it! Yep...the wonders of TM!! But!!! It's
reality and it isn't going away to we have to laugh so we don't cry!!!
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
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
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
TV program extraRob,
I think Marieke (Canada's Support Group leader) will hopefully chime in here.
She takes the Botox shots in her legs every 3 or so months. It really helps
her. She has done this for about a year or so now.

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
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.
