Does anyone else have any issues with their bladder? The last little while I've noticed that I have to urinate more frequently and it comes on all of a sudden where I have to go right away or I might have an accident. Sorry, I'm really embarrassed to be talking about this but I wondered if it could possible be related to BFS?
Urinating More Frequently: BFS?

Anything is possible, I personally cannot say I have this symptom. There are alot of things that can cause this, if you watch TV you will see ads for drugs that may help this, by which I mean it may be fairly common. I am currently fighting a nagging cold, sinus infection or whatever it is, although I do not think this is BFS related, I will be honest, I think everything else is. That is one thing I had a very hard time with early on is contributing every little thing that I felt to, what I thought at the time was ALS, now I do that with BFS, anyone else do that? Even a patient with ALS can still pass a kidney stone, or have a headache, or even get cancer. We have to deal with BFS and all the other goodies that come with the territory, and it is easy to get them mixed up. Postpardum, sorry I wandered but it is a good question, it just brought up some memories of myself tying everything to ALS, I am glad your question was whether on or not it was related to BFS, you are lighyears ahead of me on that one

For what it is worth, I seem to need to use the bathroom more the older I get (I am now 40).Some of this may be an age thing.Also, by thinking about it I suspect you are more likely to need to go. Anyway, it is probaly healthy not to let your bladder fill up completely. I sit at a desk at work and periodically get up to use the bathroom as an excuse to strentch my back. And you know... well as long as I am there.

Postpartum: I don't much believe the bladder situation is related to BFS, but if you are experiencing anxiety it can definitely be related to that. I too, find this is more of an issue as I have gotten older. But, hey, thank God, I am here to get older Cindy
CindyThank you for your responses. Maybe it isn't related. It could just be an anxiety thing. I find the more I think about it the worse it is. It was also one of the first symptoms my mum had before she was diagnosed with a rare and fatal neurological disease. Sometimes in the back of my mind, I think I am going to end up with it with all of these symptoms (even though its not genetic and extremely rare). Therefore, I think about the bladder thing a lot. When I don't think about it, I don't seem to have any bladder issues. I am probably just overthinking this one. Who knows??? Could also be that I've had 3 kids. Guess that's enough to put strain on anyone's bladder.
