Bladder and bowel symptoms are a common but often unspoken part of living with MS, and this personal story shares the emotional and practical reality of managing them over time. The author reflects on early symptoms, the shame and grief that came with losing bodily control, and the daily planning now required to avoid or cope with accidents. Through acceptance rather than pride, preparedness, and perspective, they describe learning to live with these challenges while recognizing how isolating they can feel. Above all, the message is one of reassurance: bladder and bowel issues affect many people with MS, and no one facing them is alone.
