    I said that you could ask anything you wanted in this forum, no matter how embarrassing or taboo you think it might be. I’m going to practice what I preach by bringing up the topic of bladder and bowel issues with MS.

    Right after being diagnosed in 2014, I had some of my worst bowel and bladder problems. I think it was due to the rigidity of my torso caused by spasticity. I had a lot of issues with urgency and not being able to hold it, so I had a few accidents and plenty of awkward and embarrassing scenarios.

    Getting spasticity under control with baclofen helped a lot, but I wonder if tuning into and listening to my body wasn’t the bigger help.

    What have you discovered? I’m bringing this up here because one of my biggest pet peeves in finding a forum was that the first one I found didn’t have anybody willing to talk about the embarrassing side of multiple sclerosis.
