   <p>One of you is getting the moves right ... I love the facial expressions. It helps to lighten this serious message. We don't talk about 'down there' issues enough. It's great to see you here on <a href='http://MS.net' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer nofollow'>MS.net</a>, Kathy!</p>

      <p>Thanks Laura. Good to be here. Bowel and bladder issues affect an estimated 80% of MS'ers!! I was surprised to learn that statistic. Probably because we don't talk about it! There's nothing I won't talk about - this included!! #FUMS</p>

   <p>That was a fun video, I have been doing kegal's for 15 years but it was nice to have a refresher. When I had a relapse right before Christmas I could feel my bladder or bowel. I woke up in the morning a half my body was numb, I suddenly realized that I hadn't gotten up in the middle of the night as usual. I also got really constipated, I think all of my years of kegal's help me get through it. I had read about Tens Pelvic floor stimulation or exerciser and bought one off of E-Bay. It has different settings for your situation, I have been very happy with it and of course you still have to do your kegal's. Potter</p>
