Urinary problems

[Guest guest]

It has been a while since I have been on and I've just read the many

posts I have missed. What wonderful discussions and what insights from

those discussions.

I am most fortunate to have a wonderful wife who may not understand

everything I go through, but supports me in what I need to do to take

care of myself. We don't always agree, but we work it out and find

solutions we can both live with. She has had to remind me many times

she did not marry me for my physical abilities and that she knows I

cannot do everything she would like me to do. But I would say that,

yes, CMT has affected our marriage, sometimes positively and sometimes

negatively.

Now, to get to the title topic of this post. I have, as I have

deteriorated over the last several years, had increasing bladder

control problems. Taking Ditropan XL, 20 mgs., has kept the problem

under control. Now, I am having problems with urinating and then

within minutes of finishing, often with no physical sensation to warn

me, I start to urinate again.

Have any of you had urinary problems at all? Have any of you had this

particular problem? I know I will need to see my urologist and maybe

neurologist, but it took a few years to convince them both that

bladder control problems can, indeed, be related to CMT. Knowing

others experience this and maybe having some research to back it up

might reduce their resistance to connecting it to CMT or I know not to

look at this being related to CMT.

Thanks for all your input on this and so many other topics.
