I would appreciate any advice or input, re: the following.
All of a sudden, today, my PALS had 2 incidents of urinary incontinence where I was unable to get her to the bathroom before she let go.
As background, she is on riluzole, amytriptyline for sleeping through the night (since December) and started taking oxybutynin cl er (5mg) before bed for overactive bladder (early June). Up until now, the oxybutynin has significantly reduced the number of daytime bathroom trips, but today the veritable flood gates were opened. Can't think of any significant change that might have triggered this.
Also, she is in the 4th month of a clinical trial and she tries to stay hydrated due to the number of blood draws required (e.g., 5 in 1 day last week).
We're going back to the Mayo tomorrow for a follow up (and another blood draw) and will discuss with her doctor, but thought I would ping the veterans here for additional info.
Thanks,
Ken
