Vesicare half life

Common Questions and Answers about Vesicare half life

vesicare

When I had my urodynamics test about a year and a half ago, I was peeing an avg of 16 times in 24 hrs and I was getting up between 1-2 times at night. He put me on Vesicare. Now I'm going to PT for pelvic floor spasticity for my bowels. She asked me to do a log of how many times I'm peeing in 24 hrs. Now, even with the Vesicare, I'm going between 14-15 times in 24 hrs and getting up now between 3-4 times at night.

Incredible urgency to pee. You give in to go and your lucky to pee half a teaspoon, but it felt like you are holding back niagra falls. I have an overactive bladder. You need to cut down all your coffee, pop, tea, alcohol, and spicy food. Drink plenty of water. I know I know. More fuel for the fire, but 2 32oz bottles a day or you will get dehydrated on the medicine I am about to recommend. For me, Detrol LA, Vesicare, Enablex didn't do anything for me.

-Half the time, I feel like I have a UTI. Pain, some burning, and I feel like I have to go but I don't. I've done several at home UTI test strips and they are all negative. -the OTHER half the time, I'm producing much more urine than I can account for in drinks and foods. and it's like water, comes out clear.

I am a 32 year old female. I am pretty healthy. However, about a month and a half ago, I started having very severe urinary frequency and urgency. I had no pain or burning during urination. However, I tested positive for a urinary tract infection and began on pyridium and bactrim. My symptoms did not improve so I began on Levaquin for 10 days. Since then I have had an ultrasound of my kidneys, ovaries, and bladder, and everything was normal. My labwork was also normal.

Word on the street was that one generally began to see a Quality of Life improvement by the 4th or 5th infusion. The infusion was unremarkable, except that I got a lot of knitting done. About two weeks later I noticed a subtle bump in energy and mood. Was it real? Was it the power of hope? It didn't matter. It was cool as I noticed that I was more willing to get in the car and run errands or do dreaded paperwork. During this time I had a fairly bad spider bite.

yes you will be scared to have him stick his finger somewhere but really you pick alittle discomfort or your life?

and I can not think of the name of it to save my life. To get a bit of relief I sat in a tub of hot water. Just enough water cover my bottom area. She also said that this can happen w/ MS?? It's some kind of a spasm in the Urinary tract. Does this sound familiar to anyone???? I am still trying to learn a bit everyday since my actual dx. As a side note.......I do in fact drink LOTS of water and added cranberry juice to the mix. I do allow myself to have (1) glass of tea on most days.

Keep us posted on the Botox, as you know this med was offered to me and I declined, I think I needed someone else to try it first! Vesicare has helped me with both the incontinence/urgency and the spasms, but boy does it constipate you!!! I think if you have success with the Botox I might go down that path.

All my life, before being hyper, I'd slept like a baby...took a bomb to get me up. Because of that, I didn't have much in the way of "going back to sleep" skills. I think I'm finally learning them... You're still so new to meds and trying to get stabilized...maybe throwing another factor into the equation should wait a while?

I never had any UTIs or any problems with frequent urination in my life prior to my symptoms. I've had a constant urge to urinate that popped up out of nowhere last September and hasn't gone away since, to varying degrees of intensity but always present. Certain days I can hold it for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, others I'm going every half hour/hour. On a "good day" I go about 8 times.

dx = demylinating disease/white brain matter disease detrol didn't work so the urologist changed me to vesicare. That seem to be helping. Without the meds I am up every two or three hours without much output.

Is there harm in trying it? If you get side effects that make life worse, would you not be able to stop the Amantidine? This stuff is not going to kill you. But, you have poor quality of life with the severe fatigue. What was your pharmacist's rationale for recommending that you not take something that is approved and used for severe fatigue in MS? He isn't trying to cope with the severe fatigue.

I wrote about my journey in a series of Health Pages. About one half of people with MS and Overactive Bladder will be helped by Physical Therapy. There is a neurological problem, but there are also techniques to enhance our ability to overcome it. I found the experience to be empowering and self-affirming. "I" myself, was able to fight back against the torrent of problems causing me to be tossed around like a wreck against the rocks.

Almost forgot my injection on Saturday, not too bad - 1st time in 3 months, I woke up at 2 am and realized it so I was in the bathroom mixing it half asleep. Probably the reason I wasn't feeling top notch yesterday, so I took it easy for most of the day. Hope everyone has a great restful week!

then again, I thought the shooting pains in my head when I cough, sneeze and poop was normal too since everyone has said nothing was wrong with me all my life. I have not really done much research on TCS yet. So I have no clue what symptoms are.

She had never told her doctor, until I suggested it. By then she still had to have a procedure done, but this was her whole life's worth of a really bad habit. I'm sure yours isn't so bad. So, tell your doctor.

Hey Quix, Well when you do things you do it properly, no half measures for sure! Oweeeeee! A lesser man, whoops woman, would of been screeming blue murder doing the damage you did, it wouldn't be your bad leg by any chance?

Is her life very stressful? It all comes back to how she is dealing with stress in her life...in school, at home, during hobbies, etc...When a person does not have the proper tools to deal with stress in a healthy way, their body reacts by getting sick in some way... How does she feel about sex and losing her virginity? There is evidence that having negative feelings and thoughts about sex can cause gynocological health problems...

Well, I went to the MS Specialist that I have been seeing for a while and today he confirmed that I have MS. I received the fax stating it last week or so, but kinda didn't fully believe it. I guess I expected them to say..."wait, this is a mistake!", but it isn't. He put me on Vesicare, Lyrica, Vitamin D, DHEA, and has the nurse coming out to start me on Rebif. I am a bit frightened about this whole self injection thing.

I have no sex life anymore. But, I do know that for the last couple of years I have had problems with vaginal dryness, can't seem to achieve orgasm Again, I have not discussed this with PCP or anyone else. 4. New sensation. Started yesterday afternoon. A pressure-like very intense pain down in my vaginal/anus area. This sensation put me in the fetal position and took me to the ER. This pain is hard for me to explain.

so to speak, both physically and mentally. I can still function in my daily life, but doing anything that requires real thought (including conversation) is very hard sometimes and it's sort of like my mind and body have been numbed and covered in novocain. I feel stoned and like things just aren't really hitting me so to speak.

Its hard to plan and deal with everyday life but we just have to press on and just do it. I've always been moody, irritable and fatigued since i was a child so maybe MS has been lying dormant in my body??? It has crossed my mind why I had been this way for so long and it increased as I got older, then I got diagnosed March 08. Hmmm......

There was more, but I will not go into all of it. Needless to say, he is out of my life, and soon to be my neuro that I have now will be gone too. I am biding my time, and waiting to hear from my endo. and family doc. to get me into NIH. I hope I can get in. And,.... I am still looking for a new neuro. in my area. Good luck Kelly, and I can tell you are a nice person just from how you respond and help others. I was always perceived as being too nice.

i am 37 . i too have gains weight. i weighed 135 a month and a half ago...today i weigh 173....for a total of 38 lbs!i weigh more now than when i gave birth , all 3 times! i don't understand. tho possible peri-menopause ? i also have had some night sweats . some woke me up w/ horrible electric heat in my back . sometimes i wake up on cold wet sheets.. i am getting pimples , unsightly hair ,and my boobs LITERALLY feel like huge heavy bowling balls.

If you count from when I first knew I had a problem (4/01), then six and a half years. If you count from what I now think was the first noticeable thing in Jan. or Feb. of 1998, then close to ten years.
