Bladder Problems as First Sign of MS?

[Tennisgirl85]

Hi all. So i went to a urologist last may because I had been having urinary urge incontinence for a few months which eventually led to about three accidents in three months during the night which i would wake up during. This is graphic but once while using a vibrator on the external parts of the vagina I peed. The urologist put me on vesicare to relax my muscles and see if that worked. It did so i stopped taking it after about two months and had been fine for another five months. Then a few weeks ago I had a bed accident and woke up and then one the other day where I didn't wake up at all but i had been on a heavy dose of klonapin so i think that's why i didn't wake up.

Anyway, I went back to the urologist who sent me to the neurologist to rule out things like MS. I went to the neurologist yesterday and he did a physical exam and said everything was good and in the absence of any other MS symptoms that I am most likely totally fine but he's sending me for a plethora of MRIs and nerve tests next week. Is this how MS started for anyone? I am very scared because back when i first was experiencing this i did have a very low level of vitamin d (9) which i know can be associated with MS. I was also tested for Diabetes a while ago and that was fine so the bladder stuff isn't from that. Thanks so much!

MS is different for everyone.

As stated it is different for everyone. It could be but it also could not be.

Now, in my opinion which is worth a grain of salt it would seem weird to have that symptom without having other symptoms with it. But again, it could just be the path the disease has taken if indeed you do have MS.

MS is not the end of the world, and there are many things you can do to better your life if you do get diagnosed with MS.

Best wishes,
