    is this MS?

    Hello again MS World friends. For the last year or so it seems like I rarely am able to empty my bladder. I sit and wait ... sometimes more will come out. Sometimes it won't but feels like it should.
    Another thing. About four times now I've lost a little urine while coughing or sneezing. This has NEVER been an issue.
    What do you think? Thank you.

    (I finally got insurance so I switched to a closer doc - last one was 4 hours one way - and am going to be a lot more aggressive at getting to the bottom of things.)

    Not officially diagnosed due to non-MS-specific spots on MRIs, but the neurologists all agree it's MS.
    Frustrated. January 2019: finally saw an MS specialist worth seeing. Maybe we'll get to the bottom of this.
    EDSS of 5.5, sometimes 6.0

    Hi jjs,

    This is referred to as stress incontinence. You can do an online search for more information on this. Stress incontinence can be common, for women especially.

    You would need to speak with your Dr. about this and possibly have testing done by a Urologist to know what the cause would be.

      Thank you Snoopy - I'll be sure to mention it to the new dr and look up stress incontinence.
