I tried to go without a diaper that last oh 10-20 minutes before i totally pissed myself and i thought i was developing a rash so i thought i'd let the skin breathe and also to see if magically i had gotten better.plus i had just peed so i thought i was safe for at least an hour to let my skin air out. I was way wrong.theres a puddle in my shoe and i had to change my pjs

Did the urologist's office realize what your problem was when they made your appointment 3 months out? Do you have any itching or burning, which could indicate a urinary tract infection? I believe you mentioned urgent care--they can at least check for infections and the like--is that a possibility for you so you can be seen by a doctor sooner than September? It just doesn't seem right that you should go 3 months of suffering with this before seeing a doctor.

apparently i wet myself but i don't remember that all i know is i needed to go to the bathroom i look down at the inside of my diaper and its yellow and moist. I can usually tell when i'm peeing but often can't control it so it's possible that i was aware at the time and forgot about it until just now.

I had the goal of staying dry tommorow but i don't think that's achievable because


4 major accidents 2 diapers would have been 3 if i had been wearing a diaper during on of them and 3 times actually making it to the toilet odds are not in my favor for tomorrow.

maybe my goal instead should be tommorow decreasing the number of accidents and increasing the number of times i make it to the toilet.

Could try going to the bathroom every hour or so whether you feel the need yet or not. Had to do that for a few months when i had issues with lack of sensation and weakened pelvic floor. Less annoying than pissing oneself.

When you make it to the bathroom can you stop yourself mid-stream?

Prpl, keep that appointment, but don't wait three months to see someone about this. Go to urgent care, if nothing else. I feel like it's most likely a side effect of medication for you, but there's always a chance you could have a urinary tract infection, and those are nothing to play with. Because of a UTI I landed in an out-of-town ER with a RAGING kidney infection the night of my sister's wedding. It was more painful than the birth of either of my children, but when it was just a UTI it didn't really hurt much at all. Once it crept up to my kidneys it went from simple frequent peeing to the most incredible pain I've ever felt within about 5 hours.

sometimes

i'm going to urgent care monday, i don't know if it was one time thing because my stomach had been bothering me or a new symptom but i ended up messing myself really badly yesterday i don't mean a tiny bit i mean enough to cause the diaper to sag and a pretty big mess to clean up. luckily i was alone when it happened but i was lying on the couch went to fart and before i knew it my bowels had emptied, and it took me a minute to realize what had happened. though i did manage to stay dry last night from 5-1 am 1 am i lost control but i felt like that might be a good sign.

Were you able to go to urgent care?

Hope things are going better for you.

update: still haven't been to the doctors, had a month of no accidents so quit wearing diapers, than suddenly had 3 full blown ones in 2 days the first one was because i held too long the other 2 i got the signal than my bladder just released its contents into my pants. I don't get why this is happening, and why it isn't consistent. at least i still have control of my bowels, except their's been 3 times in the last year where i crapped myself for no reason.i ended up putting a poise pad on, just incase. though it tends (the wetting) happen more when i'm standing than sitting.

sometimes i can hold forever, other times a spurt comes out when i cough, than other times i'll get the signal go to the toilet, but before i can move i've wet myself and crossing my legs trying to stop it doesn't help

maybe you should stop holding it and go to the washroom every 15-20 minutes, just in case. Also, prpls, you need to see a doctor about it.

 

[prplchknz]

I was gonna do that, but than i was out for 3 hours where their weren't many toilets and ended up wetting myself twice

I thought this thread read: How To Tell Your Mom Might Need a Urologist. Whew. I was relieved when I re-read it.

No pun meant.

 

[PeaceBaby]

I was just wondering about you yesterday wrt this issue. Go to the doctor, please?

I decided to wear pads during the day which holds one or two accidents than diapers at night because even though i don't bed wet i don't want to wake up every 20 minutes to go pee and when i do wake up i'm likely to pee before i can make it to the bathroom.

i think so

 

[Lexicon]

i think so

You mentioned September awhile ago, in your blog I think, or this thread.
Maybe it'd be a good idea to call their office tomorrow and double check the date, & stick it on the fridge or something.

Considering the wait period for visits, you wouldn't wanna miss it. I hate when I do that- space out on appointments.

than it probably is, i managed to pee so much that i leaked all over the bed i have plastic pants that maybe i should utilize at night.
