Hi.. I had to take predisone in my early
20's and just one of the side
effects left my bladder in poor
conditon..After seeing a dr and being
told to lose 20lbs and walk a couple of
miles a day..Which I did..And
still do walk daily..It did not help..I
was incontinent..And during the
day had to urinate approximately every 20
mins..Had leakage..And during
sleep, every hour on the hour I was up
using the bathroom..My mother
who has been studiing alternative medicine
for many years suggest a
herb called uva-ursi. I took this for 2
years and because it is all
natural with no side effects..I had a
series of x-rays done 9 months
after stopping the herb..Now I can say my
bladder is 100% confirmed by
me and my Dr..It sure is nice to know the
pharmaceutical co's are not
getting anymore of my money..Thanks
p.S. I do have other stories email me if
you are interested.
Rhonda

Incontinent? Posted: 08-26-05 07:28am
I always thought that uva-ursi was the
main ingredient in water retention tablets
that would make you go to the loo more
often? Are yopu sure that this is what
cured your incontinence as it sounds as
tho you have mixed incontinence ?

Wonderful--i have the same probloms with
incontinence, but mine if from a serious
back condition, where nerves were cut off
to my privates. In the beginning I
couldnt even feel my privates. If I
could just relieve the pressure in my back
I would be in good shape.

Yes dexi...It strengthings your bladder
muscle too. They do say it is a directic
but it didn't have that effect on me as I
drink large amounts of water anyways but
do not remeber going anymore.
