OAB

[foxglove]

I have been recommended thiamine (B1) to help with OAB. Anyone else had experience with this?

[Gousha]

Did they do any blood test for you and recommended thiamine?? Is it helping your overactive bladder symptoms? Please reply

[foxglove in reply to Gousha]

Only blood test done was 3 month glucose (in case I had diabetes not so) Don't think our medical practice tests thiamine

[Gousha in reply to foxglove]

They did blood test to check if you are diabetic or not? So you are not diabetic. They gave thiamineIs it helping your symptoms greatly dear?

[foxglove in reply to Gousha]

Doc. did not prescribe thiamine - I tried it myself (for a little while ) -did not help!!!

[Gousha in reply to foxglove]

OK. What medication are you using now??

[foxglove in reply to Gousha]

None!

[Gousha in reply to foxglove]

Over active bladder is a bothersome thing. How are you coping without medication. Any tips and suggestions

[foxglove in reply to Gousha]

Using pads, the newer ones are thin and effective

[foxglove in reply to Gousha]

Also there is a herbal patch - Weak Bladder Patch- which you stick on skin. Readily available from a number of places, just Google

[Gousha in reply to foxglove]

Thanks so muchThe patch is helping you?? Will you stick it all day? Can you please suggest the name of it? You will be better person to guide as you already using it. As I don't know which is best brand. Thanks for the kind response

[foxglove in reply to Gousha]

The IS helping, there is only one brand but sol d by different suppliers. I use EASYLIFE but there are others Like everything it is trial and error . What suits one doesn't maybe work for another!

[Gousha in reply to foxglove]

Thanks for the information

[foxglove in reply to Gousha]

You're welcome . Good luck have a try!

[Gousha in reply to foxglove]

Try mirabegron 50mg. It's working really good. But long term side effects iam worried much

[Gousha in reply to foxglove]

I get the urge to urinate more in the night time more when I sleep on my right side only. If I sleep on left side it will be normal. I don't know what a strange problem is this?? Anyone in this forum friends suggest me why it's happening??

[foxglove in reply to Gousha]

Both sides affected for me, but I have nicer dreams when I sleep on left side

[foxglove in reply to Gousha]

Wish I could be "normal" on one side!

[Gousha in reply to foxglove]

Do you get any side effects with that??

[foxglove in reply to Gousha]

No
