Guest guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Sharon, I am glad you feel better, but yes, you DO need to watch this closely. I feel cranberry juice does good, and we believe that at the nursing home where I work as well, always have. I have to admit I love it, but I never drink it. I'll have to get some in! jen h' To: MSersLife From: wobbletowalk@...Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2010 14:49:57 -0800Subject: unable to empty bladder When I saw my new doctor she changed my blood pressure med to one without a water pill component.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I take two cranberry pills at night and this has helped me with infections and bladder discomfort. Its just easiernfor me than drinking the juice although I like it.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I have been using them for about a year. I had all of the bladder tests-yuck! Nothing wrong. My gp suggested the cranberry pills and they work great. If I have pain I just take them in the morning to and it works for me. Mine are natures sunshine brand and are cranberry and buchu. Not sure about the other ingredient but it works forMe.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hmm.. I couldn't/can't remember exactly what "thing" made me think or know that I had a bladder infection coming on.. I just remember "feeling" something.. and then of course I'd break out the Cranberry Juice.. (even the mixtures like Cran-Grape and such.. but shot for plain Cranberry if it was on the store shelf).. Maybe the feeling of being unable to empty my bladder was the reason for breaking out the Cranberry Juice.. In any case, it always worked for me in the past.. This time I'm not so sure it was the feeling of not emptying my bladder.. but more my sitting at the computer, thinking I need to "retrain" my bladder to be "held" longer (did I happen to say that I KNOW cognitive dysfunction is also a part of MS.. just didn't realize that getting "stupid" was a part of cognitive dysfunction.. LOL).. I also remember the time when I would do as suggested, by my MS mentor, and would massage my bladder to make sure that it drained.. Unfortunately, I can't find my bladder to massage it any more because of the rolls of "hangover" that I have.. Haven't tried to massage while lying down.. usually have no need to massage it while lying down, because it seems, that the minute I do lay down and get comfortable.. I'll have to get back up to "go" anyway.. But Cranberry works for me, as it does for you... so long as I remember to drink it!
