Does anyone else have bowel/bladder issues with MG?
Ever since I've been diagnosed with MG, I have developed horrible bowel and bladder issues where nothing seems to want to come out. I've been using catheters on and off for the past couple of years. Does anyone else have similar issues?
The Mestinon is a killer for me. I have bowel movements with very little warning and they are most uncomfortable. I consider it a small price to pay considering the constipation I encountered each trip to the hospital. On one night I had a suppository and 3 enimas to get me going. I would rather have this problem. Cause the Mestinon at 240 mg a day isn't going away.
I do not take any medication for MG only IVIG is the only thing that helps. My bladder stopped holding urine at all. May be Surgery coming up.
I have bowel issues & cramping which, I am sure is related to the "mestinon." I was unable to take the tablets because of extreme bowel issues, so it was discontinued & I am now taking it in "compound" form & have reached the recommended dosage. _ Gail.
See your urologist and ask about GEMTESA for bladder problems. It was a miricle for all my symptoms. Bowel? I have urgent and unexpected diarehha for no reason. Wish I had an answer for you.
