I cath 5 times a day. every 4 hours during the day, and I can stretch
it to 6 at night. I'm still constantly incontinent, but going more
often has become a quality of life issue. My bladder constantly
over-reacts no matter what I do..I'd have to do it every 2 hours to
stay dry. The botox will take care of that...I hope

Laura, do you worry about the bladder stretching or would you set an
alarm to get up during the nite to cath? I am assuming that
you don't have enough feeling in the bladder to know when to go or to
wake you up from sleep.

Botox is a paralytic,,will literally paralyze the bladder
muscle..means I won't be able to pee without a catheter...but it's
not like that's any different than now...just won't be incontinent
all the time.

Do you personally know that Botox is useful this way? I would
expect Botox to weaken bladder spasms but not make them less frequent.
