Cheryl, Two years prior to TM I had 'bladder repair surgery' because of incontinence when sneezing, laughing, walking too fast etc. At least I had 2 years where I was safe from that problem. After TM I now again have the problem which no surgery will help. Kind of ironic I guess. However, I do wonder if having the surgery in 2001, two years prior to TM has helped me not have too many problems except at night.

Before tm,I had bladder issues,and was up several times a night (or day,when I worked the 7p-7:30a shift).Then after tm,I had incontinence problems while paralyzed and in rehab.That passed,and I only have to "run" to the bathroom if I drink caffeinated beverages. Many of you praise your husbands. My ex husband (divorced in 1985 after 22 yrs and 10 yrs before tm hit me) mows my lawn,trims bushes,trees,rakes leaves,cleans the gutters in the fall and gets rid of the snow in winter.All without me ever asking him to do it! We get along better now than we ever did before.Probably because we don't live together :). Best wishes to all, Cheryl in Easthampton,Mass.
