I can't tell when I need to urinate. I put myself on a bathroom schedule. I have not had any accidents, but am wondering if this is a common problem.

Skymom, it sure is! I have trouble urinating when I can feel my bladder is full. I used to have urgency, but I take Vesicare for that. It's good that you go on a regular schedule, our doctors say we need to void 4-7 times a day to prevent bladder infections. You're not alone 😀

I have bladder urgency and sometimes do not make it to the toilet in time. I work full time and teach classes for adults. This is very embarrassing when I have to make an excuse, practically run from the room and then return in different clothes. I take medication but it does not work very well anymore and I know that most of the drugs can cause "brain fog". Does anyone know of, or has anyone tried anything that works well?

I have been taking oxygen therapy at 33ft, pressure, since October 2022, 1 time a week. I have noticed that I don't have an urgency anymore.

Hi bahunt! I am sorry you are dealing with this issue. Our contributors have written articles on this topic. Many of the suggestions include medication, but some of the non-medical tips might be something to try! https://multiplesclerosis.net/symptoms/urinary-incontinence-frequency-retention-bladder-dysfunction/ I hope this helps a little. You are not alone in this. Wishing you a good afternoon, Erin (MultipleSclerosis.net Team Member).
