Incontinence
I have had MS for many years. My incontinence keeps getting worse. Any suggestions would be great to try to figure it out.
Well, I have moved from super absorbent adult diapers to diapers plus pads inserted into them.
, pardon me for asking what may seem like a stupid question, but how are you feeling about this transition? I don't want to ever assume I know how someone is feeling about something.
I hope the added absorbancy is helpful and offers you some added piece of mind.

Amazon has Super Absorbant Poise Pads by the case for $42 That's 212 pads. I'm going through a case every 4-5 weeks and still need to take Gemtesa or Solifenicide every day.
I had BOTOX shots around my Uteris and it really helped until the fourth time I had it done and then I couldn't control the leakage at all. I thought it was too good to be true and in my case it was. But it was nice feeling like a normal person again for 1 1/2 years,
, ugh. I'm sorry the shots quit being as effective. I hate when meds quit working well. 🙁

Hi,
!
A number of our members have dealt with various bladder issues and I know it can be a frustrating symptom to deal with. I wanted to share this compilation of information with you on the topic -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/symptoms/bladder-dysfunction. Also, as one member mentioned, Botox injections can help with incontinence. One of our health leader's wrote about her experience with Botox injections here -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/bladder-botox. And here's a pretty robust discussion from our forums on this topic -- https://multiplesclerosis.net/forums/urinary-incontinence. You are definitely not alone in this! And I hope you are able to glean some helpful suggestions and support from this community!
