Hi out there. Can anyone shed light on how PLS affects incontinence? My Mom was diagnosed last month. Mostly her symptoms affect her legs, hands, and arms. She is exhausted most of the time. She has PT, accupunture and started Baclofen. Obviously, she cannot run, so when she has the urgency, there may be a problem. Also, it takes her some time to remove her clothes, as her legs are not so great. She is only 67, and we are trying to be as positive as we can. Is this something that is part of the disease? Are there treatments, meds, any minor surgical procedure for this? She did have 4 children, not sure if that means anything. I would appreciate any info here.
I would like to say THANK YOU--to all the wonderful people I have met on this site. I am not so great with the computer, but am trying navigate and learn more each day. I try to read about the lives of some of you. I am so impressed and in awe at how you guys are managing your lives. It is my hope that I learn from you, so that I may help my Mom. I already tell her--'live today as if tomorrow may not come". I think that is a great thought.
Sometimes, I don't want to get on this site, because I get sad. But I do get some comfort knowing that my family (and Mom) are not alone. I am inspired by many of you. If we can help each other in the slightest way, I know that I have done something good. Or someone out there has helped us.
THANK YOU.
