You know that I am using it now because of you Mason. I am sure that they would have done it anyway because it seemed like this or Botox Injections is all that they can do about it now. My Bladder Spasms just kept getting worse and the Oxybutinin was not doing anything and the Spasms were even worse if I had a UTI. So at least for now this is working but I am at a high Dose so I do not think that they can increase it like they did with the Oxybutinin. But you are right about the Spasms and leaking and everything else Mason and I have it all. I hope that other people who are having problems like me try the Mybetrique now too because it must be a lot Stronger than Oxybutinin was.

Interesting! For my first twenty years as a quad, I wore an external catheter w a leg bag. I internally catheterized myself, in the morning and at bedtime. My urologist stated that I was to hope not to get more than three UTI's a year. I was told by my primary nurse in 1980-'81 to gently tap below my abdomen to cause my bladder to spas. This reduced the amount of urine to 250 cc that came out after catheterizing. Based on this I was told I had to catheterize myself every six hours; drinking one gallon of water, along w other beverages, allowed me to catheterize twice daily, and I never had more than two UTI's in a year. About twenty years into this injury, my leg was badly broken at a homegroup meeting for church. The doctor wouldn't insert a pin in my leg, concerned about infection due to circulation and I was given a bone stimulator. Meantime, I ordered a new sports wheelchair and tolerated a power wheelchair. About two months of healing passed and I headed out the backdoor onto our deck; the chair reacted to EMI frequencies (it does happen) and we landed hard on my right side. Things changed in that moment; less than one week later, a supra-pubic catheter was necessary due to a back injury causing further paralysis. Five years ago, while living in Arizona, my urologist suggest I try Methenamine. This is a one pill before bedtime med to be taken with one 1,000 mg vitamin C; this is a medication intended to maintain a healthy Ph balance in the body. I have had one mild infection that I was told I had after a urine sample was taken, since that time. I am going to read your article on livingablebodied.com, Mason - things have changed. Thank You!

[@masonx54]

My urologist prescribed me Methenamine, but I never took it. What are your experiences and thoughts on it? Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@horsewnoname872]

@@masonx54 Methenamine is a large and very bitter tasting pill to swallow, but you get used to it after two months. It has been a long time since symptoms of infection (cold chills/ low-grade fever) or a UTI has been detected. It is the best preventative med I've encountered.

[@masonx54]

Wow, that's good to hear. I will bring it up at my next urology appointment.

[@tomknaus1348]

Nice! Finally!

[@masonx54]

That was my thought as well when I found out about this. I actually didn't know until I noticed the price decrease when I picked up my medication at CVS. Thank you for watching and commenting!

I have Neurogenic Bladder and I do not have any control over my Bladder at all to make it work. But the Mybetrique really helped me because my Bladder Spasms were so bad that they could not get my Catheter in. I think that the Catheter hit something and it triggered my Body to Spasm. Sometimes they would wait for my Spasms to calm down and try again but it got to the point where it was not working anymore. I would try the Generic Mybetrique if it works as good as this but I just used what they Prescribed and I did not know about the generic until you let me know about it now Mason. The most important thing is that it works for me because I need to have a Catheter to do it for me and they were freaking out not being able to get it in and I was too because I was thinking that they need to get this Catheter in me somehow because if something else worked for me they would have tried it already with me.

[@masonx54]

Yeah, there was not a generic version of Myrbetriq until April of this year. Mirabegron is the exact same as Myrbetriq but is much cheaper. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@pagzplay]

@@masonx54 I kind of figured that out myself because if it was available for me back then they probably would have tried something else. It was either this or the Botox Injections and they wanted to try this first with me and I thought that maybe it would be better than getting Injections in my Bladder but if they need to do that later I will have to do it because I need something that works. It does not bother me at all when they are putting in my Catheter so I do not think that Botox Injections will be bad as long as it works for the Spasms so they can do it.

[@HighTen_Melanie]

I had Botox injections in March for the first time and use with both Tolteradine and Mirabegron. Botox seems to help. I live in the UK so names of tablets might be different. I took Oxybutinin for over 10 years. It was banned for a while in the UK in liquid form. I found patches didn’t work.

[@pagzplay]

I took Oxybutinin for a long time too and they kept increasing it but then it stopped working for me at all because I think that I built up a tolerance to it. So now it is Mybetrique and Botox Injections until there is something better than that and it will work for me.

[@pagzplay]

I am not sure if Patches would ever be powerful enough to work and only for a short time if they did work at first.

[@HighTen_Melanie]

@@pagzplay Yes think that’s the exact reason oxybutinin stopped working for me.

[@cameronvanniekerk2001]

Thanks for all your videos. I have a Suprapubic catheter, should I be looking into this pill? Will it help me at all? Thanks

[@masonx54]

I appreciate that, and you're welcome! If you have bladder spasms and possibly leak, Mirabegron will help prevent these issues. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Thank you for this information I will give a try. 😊 I’m T2

How many times a day do you take it? Do you have any trouble with accidents?

[@masonx54]

I take it once a day, which is in the mornings, and I only have accidents when I have a UTI. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@gyelusherpa4040]

What time to take myrbetriq( morning or evening) .I take tamsulosin in morning and myrbetriq 50mg at evening and I’m 23.please reply me

[@masonx54]

I take Myrbetriq in the morning. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@keithwthe1andonly]

I take 25 mg of mirror metric and 10 mg of solifenacin. Alone they don’t work, but the combination seems to work for me.

That's good you have it figured out for it to work for you. I appreciate you sharing! Thank you for watching and commenting!

@@masonx54 appreciate your channel and the information you share. Just tilting the metrics in your direction.

So its not covered by any insurance

[@masonx54]

Yes, but I don't think Myrbetriq was fully covered by insurance so you had to pay a lot out of pocket. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@ThisIsWheelLife]

Myrbetriq is a life saver orrr cushion saver lol

[@masonx54]

Yes it is to both! Haha Thank you for watching and commenting!

Did the botox procedure hurt in anyway don't like the look of the cystoscope in a male,or was you put under sedation?

[@masonx54]

The first few that I had done, I was put under sedation. The last time I had a Botox done, I tried doing it without sedation but started getting autonomic dysreflexia, so they had to sedate me. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@johnomahoney7755]

Is it working for you?

[@masonx54]

It worked for me for several years, but I now take it along with Solifenacin (VESIcare) for bladder spasms. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@markszmyd3441]

I will say Botox is the best for bladder spasms.

[@masonx54]

That's what I figured. However, I had goodluck with two Botox injections but it stopped working after that because my third Botox injection didn't seem to work. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@markszmyd3441]

@@masonx54 how often were you getting injections?

[@masonx54]

Probably 6 to 8 months.

[@uberdriver8743]

From what I gather, if one has a very spastic bladder and or the meds cause too many side affects, a good solution is a getting a suprapubic catheter implanted

[@masonx54]

Yeah, I agree. However, in my opinion, I want that to be a last resort because I don't want something inside me 24/7. Haha I appreciate you sharing! Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@uberdriver8743]

@@masonx54 yes good point. As with all things under the sun, if a certain system is good enough and not too problematic, you stick with it. If at some point, it gets to be too much of a hassle, then you start thinking about other more advanced systems/solutions

[@morgancalvi6675]

I have taken Mybetriq...I love thaat, especially when UTI's are resent, or approaching because they calm the spasms/cramping down. Oxybutynin is the cheapest, and I know in Canada, they make you try this first. I got so incredibly sick with that...I refused to take it.

[@pagzplay]

It is always worse when you have a UTI. Oxybutinin did not make me sick but it just stopped working for me at all and my Spasms just got worse so they had to try something else to get my Catheter in when I get it changed because I was Spasming so much even without a UTI.

[@morgancalvi6675]

@@pagzplay I have a suprapubic catheter and there were two instances where they couldn't get the catheter out. I talked to the doctor about this, thinking it was from spasms...and he said to flush more often, and that it wasn't just a spasm issue.

[@pagzplay]

@@morgancalvi6675 I have a Foley Catheter and when they tried to get it in it made me Spasm so much they could not get it to go in. So they set up an appointment with the doctor and now they put me on the Mybetrique and Botox Injections. I have always had Spasms but not to the point where they could not change my Catheter like this and the Spasms never stopped.

[@pagzplay]

@@morgancalvi6675 I get mine Flushed too but it is because it plugs up with Mucus. They always Flush it now when they change it too so it flows better for me and hopefully I can go longer without it plugging up on me again and needing to be Irrigated but it is a little bit scary because it could happen to me at any time and I need it to work.

[@pagzplay]

@@morgancalvi6675 As long as you go to the Doctor about it that is all you can do. For me I had to go to the Doctor because I need to get a Catheter changed somehow. Next week before my Catheter Change they are doing another Ultrasound to find out how my Bladder is doing now because I have been having so many problems like this and that is what they are doing about it with me now so I am just hoping that this keeps working right now for me.
