I have to pee, real bad, all of a sudden. As I push my walker towards the bathroom, I’m saying “please God let me make it, Please?” I sit down, say, “thank you” and nothing! This happens every day, its called hesitation. I am taking Trospium Chloride ER caps, 60 mg. once daily in the morning. This is supposed to help and in the beginning it did. Not so much anymore.
I am fortunate that there are 3 bathrooms throughout our lower level so I am never too far from one. With MS there is no such thing as “running to the bathroom.” Even if your at the door it can take some precious 2 or more minutes to actually get on the toilet. Very frustrating especially after all that, you lose the urge to pee. I have gotten use to it and now I just laugh and shake my head. I also talk to myself saying, “come on, Can I just pee?!” I know when I get up I’ll have the urge again. I make it a point of knowing where the bathroom is located wherever I go and hope that it is accessible and I’m grateful if it all goes smoothly,
