Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / June 2006Bladder control and epilepsy
My wife has had seizures for years and she been under VNS therapy since early this year. Have any of you women who have epilepsy also have some bladder control issues? We wonder if there is a neurological reason for poor bladder control. The Dr really doesn't seem to know. Is she still having seizures? If you see one of Julie's posts with the Idaho Website, the first aid chart lists which types can have that as a side effect, when it generalizes or the person loses consciousness. There might also be something under U.S. Ep. association site-- http://efa.org . The *Doctor should know that as possible side effect of some szr. types (your comment).

Personally, I don't just lose control of my bladder when I'm completely unconscious, I've also had a several simple absence partials whilst walking down the street, or in the supermarket, and when I re-awake hubby and me always have to do a runner to get away from prying eyes of the puddle beneath my feet. :-) All the best Sofie  SignaturePlease visit my deviantART page: http://sofen.deviantart.com/
