The pills didn't work last night, so I guess the night before was a fluke. He gave me oxybutynin and myrbetri. He is asking for a Catscan to be done of the pelvic area. I know I have a hernia but he wants to see where it is and if it is pressing on the bladder.

Well the catscan is scheduled for July 8th. The pills are helping during the day but not at night. I had not had Myrbetri before and was hoping it would help. Sorry to hear it didn't work for you either. After the catscan maybe something else will be suggested. He did say my weight and the pressure of that weight was causing some of the problems. I told him I was on NS and have been for over a year but only lost about 44 pounds. He suggested maybe I should get WLS as have many other Doctors. Am reading about it and not really sure if it is for me. Hopefully some other course of action can be taken and will be helpful.

11th day on med and I had a dry night again. The second time so far. I went to bed around 12:30 at 6 I got a signal I had to go and was even able to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom. Maybe it will just take some time. I only have a few days left of the sample Myrbetiq I think I will call and see if I can get some more as Monday will be the last day and my Pelvic exam is not until Thursday.

That is usually what I do Roger. I know I drink a lot more water than I need but my throat is always dry. I told the Dr about that and he did check for diabetes which I do not have. The only other thing must be the meds I take. This week I found in Walgreens and Walmart a dry mouth lozenge called ACT and have been taking them at night. This has reduced a lot of the night time water needs. I also called the Dr and he said to come in Monday and he would give me more samples of the Myrbetiq. He made it real easy for me by saying just call us when you get to the parking lot and one of the girls will bring them to you so you don't even have to unload your scooter. I thought that was real considerate and nice of him. I will be seeing him again on July 13, by than he should have the CT results and we will see what we are dealing with and what can do be done.

Hi Amanda
It sounds as If You have a Gem for a Doctor.
I take just a sip of water at night if I wake up, Just enough to swirl around the mouth to kill the dryness and then back to sleep.

Good Luck
Roger

Oh, Amanda...sorry you have all that going on. I wish you all the best. At least by finding out, you can make a plan to go forward. Information helps me to get more comfortable. But, I also understand that when things aren't right and you have medical labels and diagnoses, it's scary and can be depressing. Thanks for sharing! And, please keep us posted on what you learn and how you feel. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping all the best for you!

Definitely have you in my prayers, Amanda.

Yes, like Roger said, you ask all the questions you can. Write them down beforehand so you won't forget once you get there.

(((HUGS)))

That's wonderful Amanda!!! Such a relief. Hope this course of action helps.

Dr took a urine test and he didn't see any cancer cells or blood in the urine. He feels that the radiologist reading the CT was overzealous in his findings. Perhaps due to my obesity and him wanting to cover his *kitten*. He did say if I do see any blood in the urine to call him right away. He does want me to come back in 3 months for another urine test. Until then I am keep taking the oxybutynin and myrbetri as we are seeing some signs of improvement. Three times I did have a dry bed within the last 3 weeks and I am getting to the bathroom during the day without accidents. So hopefully within a few more week of the pills more improvement will take place.

Hi Amanda
Good News indeed. I agree that there is to much CYA taking place these days.
I hope You do have continued improvements.
Roger
