Hey Janice,

 

I guess luckily TM hit me the other way.  I Self Catheter in the morning and 
evening.  If I really waited too long I can have a leak on the way to the 
bathroom.  Also if in bed and have to go, can’t cough or anything.

 

Make it a great day,

Deb

Hi TM’ers,

 

This question probably pertains mostly to female TM’ers, but maybe not.

 

Is it my imagination or have you all noticed that spasms increase from the 
waist down, legs included,  when the bladder is saying it is time to

go to the bathroom?    I have changed the wording several times to make it say 
what I am trying to ask.    Hope you get my meaning.

 

Also, have any of you gotten consistent improvement in bladder control or have 
you pretty much leveled out as far as improvement is concerned.    If you keep 
improving,

please give me the length of time you have had TM.         I have had TM for 5 
years and seem to go back and forth, sometimes 2-3 weeks at a time, waking up 
with wet pads

and then, for a while, fairly dry (but never completely).       It doesn’t seem 
to matter how much I drink during the day or in the evening.       When I was 
in the hospital, the doc’s

kept talking about my bladder needing time to “wake up” after being paralyzed.  
  Well, mine seems to wake up a little and then snoozes again.      Frustrating.

 

Janice
