This must upset you: You don't mention which type, but in either case, I can imagine how bad you must feel. Definitely see your provider and consider some supportive psychotherapy to bolster your confidence/self-esteem. If there is a medical solution, work w/ provider in treatment. Also research the best protective pads and possible exercises w/ physical therapists. It's a complex issue, so be patient and really kind.

Urgent: Despite many non-emergent causes of incontinence that exist, your particular symptoms warrant an urgent evaluation. The combination of new incontinence, ataxia, and severe spinal degeneration can lead to circumstances that would require immediate attention, perhaps even surgery. Better safe than sorry in this case; go see your doc today.

Need more info: Having history of ataxia and severe spinal arthritis that seems to point to a neurological cause aggravated by the Lasix (furosemide). I think it might be wise to talk to a neurologist and have him/her check you out.
