My reluctance to try incontinence medications stems from this experience. To go through another round of medication roulette, suffer through the side effects to come to the possible conclusion that I may still need to wear protection anyway does not make me in a hurry to try it. The fact that my wife brought it up is making me second guess this. She is fine with the diapers, just brought up the medications. Am I being a fool for not going back to the urologist and starting the process of medication? I am handling wearing diapers just fine, but I am only 40 years old, surely I can't be managing it this way forever? I apologize for rambling, just looking for other opinions on my situation. Thank you for your time.
Been there done that, decided to skip the meds and just wear diapers. The side effects just weren't worth the bother since I still had to self cath. The meds paralyzed the bladder which mostly cured the leaks but the side effects were worse. But I've got to admit that the diapers nowadays are much better than they were 40 years ago!!
