Hi, i was wondering if anyone has experience of this treatment for urinary incontinence? It’s been proposed for a family member (c 30 years after PD diagnosis at age 40) if dual drug treatment doesn’t help - mirabegron & solfenacin - and our experience is that the drugs don’t seem to be effective after some encouraging early results. We’ve been warned that botox runs a risk of being too effective, which would be a similar nightmare, but, as I said it’d be interesting to know of anyone here who had been through it/know of others who have.

I’ve been diving into health topics, and while exploring anti-pollution skincare for environmental stressors, it struck me how essential tailoring solutions is - just like considering Botox for unique cases
Making connections between treatments can sometimes spark new angles to discuss with healthcare professionals
If you’re speaking with doctors, perhaps mentioning related avenues of individual care, like skincare, could open up different perspectives on patient care
Bringing this one back up because I’m curious to know if anyone’s had an update on how Botox has worked for Parkinson’s-related urinary issues recently. I’ve heard mixed results and would love to hear more personal experiences or insights. Also, has anyone explored complementary therapies alongside Botox that seemed to help?
Found this while browsing and wanted to add my two cents. It’s worth connecting with a neurologist who has experience with Parkinson’s patients. I’ve heard they can offer insights into balancing treatments like Botox with other meds. Has anyone else in the thread found success with alternative therapies that might complement Botox for incontinence? It’d be great to hear more perspectives!
