A bladder infection will activate your immune system and that in turn affects your MS symptoms.

 

This is known as a "pseudo-exacerbation". Basically, it is a relapse but it will only hang around until the bladder infection clears. Then your immune system will calm down and your MS should return to where it was before the infection.

    • HIV infection & reduced risk of ms

      Have you been reading the News items on this site? I am so glad that at last a rational, logical theory about the development of ms is being proposed. It makes sense to me that there is a viral explanation. I await with some anticipation the findings of the Inspire trial (part of the Charcot project). Hats off to Profs Gold, Pender, the 'mousedoctor' and their teams who have been able to think outside the box. So many have fallen by the wayside into paternalism, quackery or moneymaking, but not them!

    • iv steroids and bladder prob

      Hello again folks I had a dose of steroids on Monday and began to feel a bit rotten yesterday. My bladder in particular was causing me trouble, up and down to the loo constantly.   This continued through the night, i was needing to pee all the time and i did actually go, it wasn't just the feeling of needing to go.   Has this got something to do with the steroids? I also had headache all the on Wednesday which is unlike me but its my bladder causing me the most trouble. I also started on tolterodine a week ago.
