Urinary retention can be a serious thing for us MSers, leading to UTIs. Cranberry juice really does help with that. Does your bladder feel "irritated"? If I drink a lot of orange juice or other citrus my bladder feels irritated and I can't pee like normal. When I stop the citrus juice it gets better. I don't know if that applies to you or not. How long has the bladder retention been going on for you? hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product. The slight variations in spelling and grammar enhance its individual character and

Okay, so I've convinced my husband to let me take my Geodon later than dinnertime, after another night ended up with me asleep on the couch at 10:30 and waking up at 2:30 to find he's still on the computer, and then me waking up at 7 not able to get back to sleep, and being antsy. He says I can take my Geodon no later than 9:00, so I needed something I could eat at 9, since it has to be taken with food. I've been craving brownies, so they are in the oven now. Then at 9, I can just have a brownie with my Geodon.

I still don't really know how to react to my MS doctor wanting me to see my local neurologist for pain control. I mean, this is really the first time I've had bad pain, other than pain brought around from holding myself differently when I'm in a flare. I guess I call my local neurologist Monday, and whichever doc I get into first (he usually is hard to get into, and I'm supposed to get scheduled for a follow up appointment with her once my blood test results are in to talk about Tysabri), I see what's going on. But this makes me wonder, if I start having other problems related to my MS, is she just going to refer me back to him?

I think I may have started having problems with urinary retention, at least that's what it feels like. My primary doc six months ago had referred me to a urologist because "people with ms have problems with their bladders" (this after my first UTI under his care). I checked out fine at that appointment, but I'm due for a recheck, so I have a feeling I'd better keep it and get checked out.
