Bladder issues

Bladder incontinence

Urinary incontinence and urgency is getting much worse. Now we need to try to find out what is causing this. Is it a deterioration of the disease and the brain not getting the signal, is it a prostate issue, or is it the bladder itself. A webinar posted on PSP.org addresses this issue, the timing was amazing. So now off to the doctors to see what is causing this, and I do realize that it can be more than one of the above. This seems to be another issue that faces us in treatment, that some of his issues can be caused by several things i.e. age, normal body deterioration or PSP (or a combination of all).  Bernie’s falls are still pretty consistent, we are just thankful that he has not broken any bones or hit his head, but his body usually has many bruises.
Progression is noticeable but not severe at this point, voice is weaker, although some days better than others. Wish I had more to write but I find that I would just be repeating things I have already said.
