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 From: Janice Nichols [mailto:jan...@centurytel.net] Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 3:45 AM To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Subject: [TMIC] 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
