HOPE - No More Urgency!

Fri Jan 18, 2019 12:50 pm

Hi Guys!

For the past 10 consecutive days, I have had no urgency/OAB/incontinence and on work days with a predictable schedule, I have stopped wearing any kind of protection! (I used to have OAB as soon as I put the key in my lock to my home like clockwork). I think this might provide hope to those who are suffering from light incontinence.

I have made a few changes since about Christmastime that might have helped:

Vitamin D3 every few days - Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to incontinence
Reduced my antipsychotic medicine from 10 mg to 5 mg - Antipsychotic meds are linked to incontinence
Started daily yoga targeting the pelvic floor and hips - Pelvic floor dysfunction can lead to incontinence

It might all be a coincidence but something seems to have worked!

Congratulations on discovering what works for you. Best wishes that this will continue working for you, and that nothing will interfere. Your success underlines the necessity for all of us to be flexible, always willing to experiment to discover what works.

Anti-depressants. I become a genuine a-hole if my dose is lowered. No fun for anyone to be around me.
