@mslw I'm doing OK, not great but better than I was. The urogyn I see is at the MGH satellite facility in Waltham. Do you go there or to Boston?

I did PT with someone on a list she gave me of pelvic floor physical therapists -- I am in southern NH. I think I learned all I could from her. She strongly stressed that you need to not skip more than two days or you really set yourself back, and I am finding that to be true. I have also started taking a medication, Trospium. It is definitely helping, but still not as good as I would like. I don't know if this is true of all of the drugs for incontinence but it makes you incredibly dry. You are supposed to take it with a large glass of water. I take it at night and then the next moring I have to drink another large glass of water. The other side-effect of this drug is that it makes you a bit light headed. It said to take it in the morning and I found that I needed to wait to leave the house because of that, so I asked the doctor if I could take it at bedtime and she said that would be fine. You are supposed to take it on an empty stomach. I no longer notice the dizziness. I don't know if that's because my system adjusted to the drug or if it's because I am sleeping.

How are you doing? It takes a while to figure out what is best for each patient I think. I am considering having botox for it. That's a pretty easy procedure, right in the office. It would be so nice to not get up so many times during the night. I used to be up about 8 times a night. It's down to 3 or 4 now, so much better than it was.
