I am afraid I would be a walking, sort of, zombie if I took that much medication. Hope it keeps you comfortable. Janice

Hi!! Seems like things have been really quiet with our group.
Hope it isn’t because of health, just busy people.
Just wanted to tell those of you still having problems with the bladder
that, after 4 years, I am definitely improving. I am having some “dry”
nights – not always, but definitely more
than before. Actually some are dry and some are drier. There is
always hope. Those of you who are worried about the “2-year” improvement
time, the improvement still happens
after the 2 years. Actually, I wonder if some of
the problem is the baclofen that many of us take to ward off the leg spasms.
We need the baclofen to be able to sleep, but it
puts us into a deep enough sleep that we can’t feel the urge to pee.
And, the urge to pee now feels different than the urge did before I got TM.
I, for one, am not going to stop taking baclofen. Couldn’t sleep without
it and the frustration of the spasms is not worth a “dry” pad. Oh well, just
wanted to let you “newbies” know that improvement keeps coming – we just have
to be
patient.
