Q: It started out overactive bladder. Saw my doctor and then:

My dentist said my ducts blocked in back of mouth, then it would go down to neck, and then back to the mouth.  He had me suck on lemon drops and the pain stopped, then the edge of the mouth started really hurting. I rubbed "Oral Balance" on the area.  Then I had a dry mouth ever since.  Dry lips before that.

 

Eye doctor said tear drops blocked and I had oil cysts on the eyelids.  I was told to soak them four times a day for 10 min. in hot water and rub "Ciloran" on at night.  I had at least four of these. 

 

I was getting off estrogen at the same time these things started and was completely off when things got worse. I don't know if this is related.  I was also under a lot of stress. I blurry eyes for awhile, emotional and couldn't function well.  I went back on the estrogen.

 

My doctor gave me "Enablex" for incontinence and I didn't have a full bladder breakdown anymore, but it now wakes me up in the morning to have to go and it didn't before.  I now have hard bowels (had to take them out), so cut the pills in half and I don't have as much trouble going now, but it still hurts.

 

Sex - I also started having sex during this time, after not having any for 12 yrs.  It hurt, but I was getting off the estrogen at the time.  I'm in my mid 60's.

 

It looks like all the water in my body has been going to my bladder and not to the rest of my body.  When this started, it was one full blast a day and no warning.  I did go to the bathroom throughout the day, even if I didn't have to go.  I sipped water throughout the day. 

 

I see the doctor tomorrow, so I hope you have some suggestions that I can bring up.  I have been miserable for along time.  I believe this has been brought on by stress.  The test showed no signs of infection.
