I have also been thinking about doing bladder Botox, but have so far chickened out. I’m a C5/6 quad, almost 28 years post. I do intermittent catheterization approx every 4 - 5 hours. I can’t do the bladder meds anymore, as they give me way too many bad reactions. I do get “goosebumps”, my form of AD if I ever void before my cath time.
My biggest worry = it affecting my pooper too! Were there any adverse reactions Paul? How long have you been getting it done? Thanks for the input you’ve already shared!
