I too am having trouble

I have the urge to go but a trickle sometimes and nothing sometimes. Afterwards I am back again in about 15 minutes to finish. Not sure if I should wait until the 29th and tell my neuro or should I go ahead and see a urologist? This has been going on for about 4 or 5 weeks now and doesn't seem to be getting any better. Any suggestions? I am only 42 and thought I was too young for these kind of problems but I guess MS doesn't care about age.

Thank you Mamabug for your advice and concern. I will call the dr today and get myself tested. I will let you know how it went. No pun intended, lol.

I have had UTI's in the past when this whole thing started. I changed my diet thinking it was that. Then I thought I'm just getting old,lol (if 52 is old).

Then when it started getting more frequent and then not. I got concerned and when hubby gets concerned its time to take heed. I have been through so much like all of you have that I think ok ... its all in my head ... But now, I have to take heed again.

Thanks so much for your time.

I used to have a lot of trouble with frequent UTI's. Now, I take 1/2 tsp of D-Mannose powder twice a day. Seems to work (better than cranberry supplements, for me, which some people use) to prevent them.

You can likely purchase D-Mannose powder at your local health food store. I buy NOW brand from amazon.com; I think it's cheaper there.
