boy thats alot to digest....I was hoping there was an executive summary there......I tried to follow that but it was pretty hard to follow.....

Yeah, I gave up on page two.

It may be a tough read but it is the proper report on the drug for our health service.

3 days in on the Myrbetriq, I am still having frequency in the 15-16x per day range

7 days on the Myrbetriq and no results at all, the Uro office said I should have had results by now.....It looks like I will be stopping that one.....I have a couple days left on the prescription, so they are going to fit me in in two days to see the doctor.....my anxiety is up pretty high right now.....the frequency is up and I haven't slept real well for upwards of a week...the Uro office wants me to go the ER to get a foley......that's got me really on edge....

I think this isn't unusual for these sorts of drugs. A lot of people either don't get any or a good enough effect or, and I ma in this group, the side effects are worse than the thing being treated.

Good luck getting some other treatment. I hope they find something for you.

so, just got back from the ER. The Doc came in and evaluated me. He asked about my Hx and I told him what was going on. He said so you want a catheter?? I was like, I don't really want it, but I do need it and, I'd really like it if my wife can do it.....Shes and ER nurse in another hospital (but had previously worked in this ER and she knew the ER Doc).....The Doc was like...Ok. no problem....the nurse walks off and was like, I'll go get the supplies!! She comes back with the supplies and she leaves them on the table and walks out. Then my wife catheterized me and 5 minutes later they were coming back to check on us. Which we were done by that time. So they gave us the discharge papers and we signed out and we were on our way.....me grinning because I have peed 15 times between 0800 and 1800 tonight and having accidents of incontinence every time.....so hopefully now I can sleep through the night.....There's my story.....kind of a funny story. I am chuckling as I write this.....
