I had RP in November with some spread into the bladder neck. It took 5 months before things got better and I still wear a pad for safety. I was given a 1-month sample of Gemtesa and switched to a generic (chloritine coltrate) when UHC would not cover Gemtesa. I also had physical therapy, although I would have done as well with a list of exercises. I'm at 6.5 months and doing much better.
