Bladder Training?

I brought this up in another thread but this is probably a better place for it.

Anyone have any experience with bladder training? How long before you saw results? Do you ever lose the sensation of needing to go or do you still have the sensation but can just hold it longer?

I've been at it for almost 2 years. 2 hours is my current norm. I usually have to fight off urges after an hour. It's not easy. Conventional wisdom is to wait 15 min. After the urge then another 15 min. As long as you can without hurting yourself.

Love, H.

Yeah, currently I can hold it for up to two hours on an average day, but by the time that 2 hour mark hits I'm really ready to go. On bad days, it's less than an hour, and every once in awhile I'll have a freak episodes where I can hold it for three or longer with no problem. I wouldn't mind having a few more of those!

I'm in very much the same boat with it. Just started ditropan at very small doses to see if we can get a small miracle going.
