Smelly urine

[mo0427]

Hey I'm experiencing foul smelling urine. Its been going for almost a year. Is this apart of ms, I drink alot of water that doesn't help. Also I've noticed my flow is slower than normal. This is frustrating.

Thnx ladies lately it has subsided. I've increased fluid intake via water. Thus far I've noticed a change. @saucygirl I'll look into this

I have this problem too.  I saw my doctor and all my tests came out fine.  I had read somewhere about apple cider vinegar so I tried putting a tablespoon in a cup of warm water and have been doing that once a day.  It really helps with the odor and I'm also able to go without the flow problems.  I don't mind the taste of it, but the article also said you can add honey to sweeten it a bit.  My doctor said it certainly won't hurt anything so keep doing it if I feel it's helping.  I figure if nothing else, reducing that awful smell is well worth it!

I have MS and exactly the same urinary problems you have.  I don't know if it is the MS or meds.

Thanks guys I don't understand it WHEN TAKINg prenatal vitamins which I continued after my son was born due to my nursing him I noticed it. But now I'm only taking rebif and its worse. My flow is up and down, but it doesn't matter how much water I drink.

Hi moO427,
Nice to meet you. Smelly urine could be from a kidney or bladder problem or from medications or herbs and over the counter supplements you may take. Make sure you take ALL of your meds, prescription and over the counter with you to your next doctor's appointment.

Take care and let us know what they say.

I have the same problem and it drives me crazy..I think it is one of my supplements and I have stopped all my vitamins and it gets better.  I  but it seems to be so much trouble to add back one at a time, but I should do that at some point.

I do have some urinary problems now, slow flow and sometimes I can't go at all.  It happens when I am away from home and once I can't pee, it will last sometimes all day, not sure what that is all about.  

Also, I usually think I am finished and then I have to pee again, almost always.  Strange stuff !  I havent been to a Dr about it, too many other pressing things to work out.

I've been to doc no urinary tract, blood glucose was fine. When I see doc I'll ask

Urinary problems are very common with MS and you need to be seen by a neurologist.  The smell could be from an infection or it could be from your diet or medicines.

This is too important to second guess- so please go to the doctor.

best, Lulu
