Avatar m tn t hurt the dog. Oxybutynin is an anticholinergic drug that is actually used in dogs to treat urinary incontinence. It doesn't work on the actual bladder sphinter, it works by relaxing the bladder muscle so that it is able to store more urine without feeling full. If the dog were to ingest one, there should be no ill effects.
Avatar f tn Funny enough you mention this I took Oxybutynin for awhile and a bit excessively, I keep thinking that this messed up my gut and caused this curse of a phenomenon.
Avatar f tn Also I urinat about 20 times a day and about 15 times at night yes I have tried vesicare and oxybutynin. I also have just had a bladder distention but all this was going on before the bladder distention.
Avatar f tn I was in the hospital last week with a bad UTI and bladder infection, and I am still really hurting but everything I heard said once it hits the bladder it should not hurt. What should I do?
Avatar f tn Can I take 2 or 3 Ibuprofen and 1 phenazoptridine 100mg and 1 oxybutynin 5mg The Dr, gave me Cipro to take 2 hrs, before I go to Drs, will this help me or not? If not what can I do to prevent the bad pain I hear about after stent removal. please help me.
Avatar m tn I was in the hospital for two weeks. Notiong was broken, but I did receive two contusions from the accident. My question is I read people with head injuries are more at a risk for Parkinson's disease. Is this true? Is there anything I can do to help prevent against the risk?
Avatar f tn I'm 33 year old male, I was diagnosed with phimosis 2yrs ago. I've been having the constant urge to urinate but with only a low flow and sometimes spraying. I've been through testing for uti, std, bladder cancer (cystoscopy) but yet know one can give me an answer as to why I always have the urge. I've taken meds (flomax, oxybutynin, and diptromin) none of them worked. Help!!! I'm to young for this to be happening.
Avatar n tn Saw on WEB MD it's likely not Parkinson's... this is from their site: "Essential tremor differs from the tremor caused by Parkinson's disease in the following ways: Essential tremor may affect the head and voice. Head tremor is uncommon in early Parkinson's disease. Essential tremor is almost always worse when the affected part of the body is in motion than when it is at rest.
Avatar f tn I've been taking Stalevo for years now and have had breathing problems since the beginning 13 years ago. Recently my breathing problems have gotten worse. My doctor had me on the Stalevo every 4 hours but I can't go 4 hours any more. It seems to run out after 3 hours, so I have to take it every 3 hours even though my doctor said not to take it less than every 4 hours. What happens is I can't get enough air.
Avatar f tn As far back as I can remember I get hot extremely easily and sweat profusely on my forehead, middle of my chest, and middle of my back. The heat seems to come in almost a wave, and I can feel it rising until it reaches my head(hope this description makes sense), and I can never seem to cool down. An odd part about this is, on occasion, my feet will be extremely cold at the same time. If I'm not wearing socks or shoes my feet will be almost painful, they're that cold.
Avatar f tn If parkinson's disease runs in my family, exactly what does that mean? My grandmother's sister on my mom's side had it, and my Rhuemy said that I have a tremor that is probably worse on my right side. How much of a chance do I have of having the disease. I am 41.
Avatar m tn Hello and welcome to the forum. Thank you for your post and we can understand your worry about Parkinson's. We're really glad thought that you are working with specialists. Remember that both Essential Tremor and Parkinson's both can ave hand tremors but that they are two distinct and separate disorders. This article goes through the differences between the two and focuses information on essential tumor which is your diagnosis. https://www.mayoclinic.
Avatar f tn Hi, The med methotextrate has a warning on the packet in australia for sun exposure. It has a warning that sun exposure can make you feel ill and exacerbate any symptoms. Hope this help Take care.
Avatar f tn Hi all, a bit about my history, have had an overactive bladder treated for about last 20 years with oxybutynin and whilst not perfect, everything was fine to live a normal lifestyle, play sports, gym, go out drinking etc, I’m now 38, male. A couple of years ago I felt like what was a trapped nerve around my coccyx area and was unable to sit down for a couple of days, the pain was excruciating.
Avatar m tn Hi all, try to keep this short. As of late I've been having some symptoms of parkinsonism, not like full-blown Parkinson's, that would be basically unheard of at my age, more like a mild case. Tremors, stiffness, anhedonia (mentioned before in another post) and slight gait, dexterity and posture issues. I've had this before, but not like this, and I think it's dopamine related, and once again this goes back to my other post.
Avatar m tn I went to see a N/S this past week and he said he thinks my problem may be that I have Parkinson's disease. He said my symptoms don't seem to be chiari related. He put me on medicine for Parkinson's. Has anyone else been told they had Parkinson's ? Now I have to go see a neurologist next month.Boy I tell it gets better all the time. I'm getting tired of seeing doctors. This will be number 4.
Avatar f tn I see that there isn't much activity over on the Parkinson's Forum. I did some research to try to answer your question as I can see you are terrified by the prospect. Your risk for early onset PD (under the age of 60) is very, very small small. There is a slight increase in risk if you have a sibling or a parent who had "early onset" PD. Instead of 1-2% risk for the general population, your risk would be 3 or 4%. This is only if your sib or parent has "Early Onset.
Avatar n tn Hi, A tremor in the voice is one of the features of benign essential tremor, and it increases when under stress or anxiety. That being said, Parkinson's sometimes presents with features that are indistinguishable from essential tremor. So, with your family history in mind, you should visita neurologist to definitively rule out Parkinson's as a cause. If that is not the reason for yoursymptoms, then taking treatment for ET will relieve you of some symptoms.
Avatar f tn However I have come across other acupuncturists who do have experience in this area and say that they have been very successful in alleviating symptoms. I can't vouch for this personally, having no first hand experience but it might be worth researching?
273955 tn?1196448802 Last year it was suggested that I have MS due to 4 lesions in my brain and a couple on my spinal cord. I have been on Betaseron for this. I have had leg numbness and tingling since last year. Evey now and then I will get other symptoms such as hand tingling, swallowing issues, pain, anxiety, etc. I am also on low dose Zoloft for the anxiety. This past week I have noticed slight trembling in my hands and some muscle twitches in my legs. Is this MS or do I have Parkinson's Disease.
Avatar f tn As a long-term user of clonazepam I was curious about this, and did a quick web search. Found no information whatsoever indicating it causes Parkinson's, but there is information that people who take it get or have Parkinson's -- but this list from the FDA pretty much indicates a ton of meds are taken by people who get Parkinson's.
