Maybe cut down on the amount of liquids before bedtime. Or limit it entirely, but only if you’re comfortable and tolerate a dry mouth. I can’t tolerate that so I must have some hot tea. You’re not alone in this. it’s more common than you think for anyone with bladder incontinence, urgency and frequency. The InterStim device helps reduce those symptoms.
@@lunagingeymittens419 OK I found it - I guess my sense of humor isn’t for everyone. I’ve suffered from urinary incontinence for over a decade and I use the Medtronic - without much success. I’ve been chronically Ill since I was 45 and I’m now 71 and suffer from multiple ailments including metastatic cancer of the bones. It all started when my kidneys failed in mid-life. I guess I’ve developed a cynical outlook on health issues over the last 25 years. I suppose you could say it’s a survival mechanism. My sense of irony and my sense of humor isn’t for everyone. Thanks for reminding me. Be well…
Recommend me to urologist in Houston area to contact, thanks I’m nearly 79 and had problems sometime, worse very much so last year…..I’m active exercise regularly combat 5 years from surgery of lung cancer, so real very much healthy. This situation now keeps me depressed and can’t do much active stuff and really a pain on my traveling…….thanks much
I prefer to leave mine on 24/7. It’s unpleasant to have it off and feel uncontrollable urgency and frequency that’s disruptive and interferes with my quality of life.
Does the Device interfere with sexual activity.
Absolutely not
Is this test covered by Medicare and Medi-Cal?
I have many trips to bathroom at night and I often don't make it on time just a short walk to bedroom potty
You might try hailing a cab. Works for me…

@@john-brady why you feel the need to be rude and insensitive about this?
@@lunagingeymittens419 Rude an insensitive? Sorry but I can’t recall what I wrote so I can’t respond to that.

It’s your choice whichever way you prefer. Keep it on 24/7 like I do or only keep it on when you’re away from home.
@@lunagingeymittens419 Thank you
Can you swim with this?
