Has anyone been on this medication for incontinence issues?
The urologist I saw said there were no side effects but a quick search brings up a whole world of pain re side effects and indeed links to dementia. The crazy thing is he didn't want to do any investigations because I'm a young man and he didn't want to embarrass me (but then he also asked if I had mobility problems when I was sitting in a wheelchair...).
I've spoken about it with my Mum and considering a common side effect is diarrhoea we concluded that just changing the majority of accidents from being urinary to faecal probably isn't a brilliant idea (especially as my IBS can be bad enough at times) and that considering it can take a few months for kegels to work and I'm still to have any treatment for FND it's best to hold off until other avenues have been ruled out.
The problem is many people online seem to also claim it's been a miracle drug for them. However, considering my issues getting out of the house it's hard to get to a medical professional if if causes any issues. Plus, with my cognitive issues being bad as it is, I don't want to risk making them worse.
