I’m starting to loose control of my bladder which is a bit embarrassing when you’re having breakfast with the royal family and take a few gob fulls of earl grey and then running to the royal throne. I don’t want to visit a GP to get another bucket full of medication to find I was going through a ataxia bad few weeks so didn’t need any more meds, after all the chemist comes to me for meds. I should mention at this stage I’m at least 41 maybe even a bit older.

Im on my fourth roller so it must be like cars your first is a heap of junk to get the experience and your last is heap of junk to get some different experience 😵‍💫

Have a great day all 😂

Hi Paul, I get Botox into my bladder at the neurological hospital and it works really well. It has given me back control of when I pee. Some people need to self catheterise which is really easy once you do it a couple of times, some people don't when they have Botox. I tried medication but it made me unwell and was not effective for me.
