Elaine
Urgency-Frequency Patient
"I was going 18 times per day and three or four times per night. Now I go about five times during the day, maybe twice in the evening. I don’t get up at night, I’m done leaking and I no longer wear pads. I feel like I'm free of something very burdensome."

Melissa
Urgency-Frequency Patient
"I remember standing in Wal-Mart with a cart full of stuff and realizing I had to go. I had only walked a few steps toward the bathroom, when I had an accident. I was so embarrassed. I left the store crying."

Cheryl
Urgency-Frequency Patient
"My doctor said, 'This is just something that happens when women get older. You'll get used to it.' I didn't buy that, since I'm only in my fifties, but I was too embarassed to talk to anybody about my problem."

Mark
Urgency-Frequency Patient
"My wife and I recently went out to dinner 25 miles away and the car trip wasn’t an issue. I’ve been able to take my motorcycle out for 50-mile rides again. At work, I’m no longer looking for the next bathroom."

Tanya
Urgency-Frequency Patient
"Neurostimulation has added so much time to my schedule. It’s such a positive life-changing thing. I didn’t realize how many ways my bladder problems impacted me—even little things—now my hands aren’t dried out from washing them all the time. I have new peace of mind."
