FW: Re: [QUAD-L] bladder pain--oxybutynin

[William Willis]

I also take it twice a day. I suffered from pain, cold sweats, and shivers 
for years until I learned of ditropan on this very board about three years 
ago. Of all the doctors I had been to over the years, NONE had suggested it. 
Thanks to the quad-list and curses to incompetent doctors. The drug has made 
a big difference in my life. Only drawback -- it dries out my mouth so bad 
the corners actually split open. Ouch!

I've taken it twice a day (5 mgs) for 26 yrs.   I've had lower abdominal
pain come & go for years and
every so often lately.  About 2 months ago I 'wondered' if it were a 
bladder
spasm of sort OVER just
pain.  So when I had lower ab pain 2 months ago in the afternoon I took an
extra Oxy .. it helped!

Colincidence or not.  But I coulda relieved the severe pain yrs ago HAD I
REALLY THOUGHT it might
be bladder spasms.  Or, at least, partly spasms.  Geeez.

But I also think, and know, that it began with syringomyelia and is also
present at times (and relieved by antibiodics)
when I have a UTI.

   Hi All,  I  take oxybutynin = generic for ditropan i think. Anyway i
usually only take it a few times a week or so but this past week I need
about 3 each day to help cope with the bladder pain  Do any of you have to
take that med often as that ?  A bit over a month ago i was in hospital far
a bad pseudamonas bladder UTI.......Gosh i hope that's not trying to 
return.
....all this quad problem crap can drive a person insane  , I try to grin
and bear it  ;-)
