Bladder choices - SNS anyone?

Hello 👋 new here, please be nice. I've been living with MS a while, and have declining bladder and bowel function which is causing fun issues. I've been offered SNS as a longer term solution to botox. I'm wondering what experience others have had? Issues? Unexpected consequences? Benefits? Thx

When I have to go, I have to go. Sometimes I have seconds to make it to the toilet. Sometimes my bowel movements are normal. Ot...

Very true words

When someone asks me about MS, if they know anything, it's usually that it affects a person's ability to walk. If only it was that simple....We (MSers) have a little of almost every disease to deal with. Think about it - the brain controls everything the body does. MS causes brain damage and causes ...
