Help I can't pee

[blissfulllife]

Posting here for traffic! As the title says I literally can't per. I'm in pain and can feel my bladder is full. But I just can't go. Any tips advice I'm desperate

Sending you lots of hugs OP xx

OP, I’m so sorry to hear it. There’s another thread at the moment where an MN-er was also diagnosed with MS today. The link is here in case it would help at all to be in touch with her. I’ll do the same on her thread

This happened to me (Male). it was treated as an emergency and I was catheterised until they found the cause.

Sorry didn’t see the update.

I'm glad you have updated , not what you wanted to hear , but treatments have come a long way and once you feel better it may well be a long time before you have another relapse x

Sorry to hear this OP. I hope you start feeling better soon. I had a MRI on my nervous system last week. It was 45 minutes and I kept my eyes closed for it. Its incredible noisy so it's not possible to fall asleep but I tried to pretend I was doing something with my kids like going to the beach. So imagining everything in real time from parking up. I almost totally zoned out until it started on a new noise cycle. Also I could see the clock through the office window via the mirror on the machine which helped when I had the odd glance. When I felt tense I waited for the cycle to end ( it's like a bloody washing machine!) Tensed my hands and arms ridgid them let go. It helped me to stay still

I've got MS. It really isn't the end of the world OP. The treatments now are fantastic.

That's a lot to take in but knowledge is power. I hope the coming days in hospital help you

I was on the other thread too, another MS person with bladder issues (I cant pee at times too). Sorry to hear you are joining this shit club.

Take advice as much as possible from your MS nurse, they really are invaluable.

The best advice I read on here when I was newly diagnosed was from someone who said if she’d known 10 years ago when newly diagnosed what she now knew, she’d have saved herself a whole lot of worry and stress. So I concentrate on what I can do today and don’t think about the future. I’ve also discovered that MS affects everyone in such different ways it’s almost impossible to generalise from one to another. When I was undergoing diagnosis my neurologist advised positive mental attitude and keep active - it was the best advice he could have given me. Good luck and keep posting.

Well, I'm glad they've diagnosed you. My aunt has MS, and she seems OK day to day. I know vitamin D helps the symptoms, and that Petit Filous has it added.

@SirGawain, I am asking on behalf of my young adult disabled ds (we are waiting for scan referrals), is the catheter the only way forward or is there any other treatment possible?

Too right!
