No, the Hospital Staff is NOT Out to Get You

I was lucky enough of to receive another Botox treatment to correct, albeit temporarily, my urge incontinence. The procedure went pretty much as expected. It's early, so I don't know yet what the outcome will be. But, if it is anything like in the past, I should get good results.   While most people opt for general anesthesia, I always... Read moreChevron

With a Vengeance

It's funny how this works sometimes.   As many readers of this blog know, I have access to intravesical Botox injections  every six months or so to control my urge incontinence.     Botox is derived from Clostridium botulinum, a gram-positive anaerobic bacterium that produces the botulism toxin.

It's Baaacckkkk!

I believe my Botox is finally wearing off. As a direct result my urge incontinence (UI) is slowly returning.   Typically Botox last about 6 to 9 months, with the full effect lasting about 4-5 months (for me at least).

Botox and the Anterior Bladder Wall

As much as I have written about the efficacy of Botox, I suppose I should know the answer to this question, but I don't.   Is it possible to inject Botox in the anterior (front) wall of the bladder?    I have had Botox for urge incontinence three times, and each time the Botox was injected into the posterior (rear) wall my... Read moreChevron
