Urge Incontinence + No Diaper + Stuck in Traffic

[iam32bit]

Hey Iam32bit,

i‘am an DL but you can be shure that the beginning of my UIC was verry irritating for me too... In faxt it was a bit shocking, because I had also blood in my urin and ended up in a hospital. I can tell you that I started hating pads and diapers in the first year and started fighting hard to get my continence back. I had in a couple of way‘s a bit luck, because the medication and therapies helped me to get at last parts of my control back. After 3 month of fighting with the insurance I made it, that they took over most of the costs I was able to make a deal with the supplier, so I have to pay only round about 20€ extra in a month - but I live in Germany so it‘s not that easy to compare the situation with the US.

How ever, the pain is often still there and since I‘m diagnosted with IC/PBS there are not that much chances that thing getting better over the time. This is something I‘m still have to cope with. At work I wear only pads, and I’m luckily that they are good enaugh to hold an accident that still happens from time to time. If I’m on the way I need diapers, and I mostly did‘t make it to get dry home. At the beginning of my problem I needed to changed the pads round about 5 times a day. I had to talk with my employer about this, because they did‘t had bins in the stalls and for me it was important that he had a understanding of my situation. Luckily he reacted very professional and helped me to cope with this situation.

So I not sure what to do in your situation, I heared that UIC is a pretty common side effect of MS - but probably a minor problem compared to the rest. So I crossing thumps for you that it is a bladder problem only. If it is not MS I would consult a specialist. In my case nether in the hospital nor the urological ambulance was able to diagnose my problem correctly. This year I leared while visiting a specialist, that this seems to be a really rare illness for man (f.m. 9:1)... and more over you need some some kind of a high resultion camera and a lot of experiace to see this if it is in an early stage. This was probably the reason why it tooks so long to find it out. I’m now also on a new medication, I can not say for the moment if it realy help because it takes round about 6 month before it will show some effects. But at last it doesn’t have the side effect from tolderodin...

I have most of the common symptoms of MS, my bladder is honestly the least of my worries. Walking into walls and having my brain feel like it is shutting down is not fun at all. It is very likely I have MS, we just need to find some more evidence beyond symptoms.

When I last pursued treatment for my bladder they also found blood in my urine. They checked everything and couldn't find a cause.

How about getting something thin enough to go in your purse, just for the drive home? Any protection world be better than none at all.

This week was hell for my Urge Incontinence. I guess a flare up? I normally put on a fresh diaper + booster before leaving to go to work. I wear it until I need changing and then wear panties (I am a girl) until I get home. I also use the bathroom before heading home.

On Friday, I was stuck in abnormal traffic with no way to use a bathroom mid commute. It took all of my willpower to hold it in and fight the throbbing pain. The second I got off the highway I ran to a Burger King and had to use their dirty bathroom. I was crying and hating myself for having this condition and not having a way to change at work. I can't stress how bad the pain was to hold it and not have an accident in my car.

It is situations like this that I wish I could commit to wearing 24/7 instead of wearing when I can.

Wearing a diaper 24/7 has become a necessity for me. when I was at work (I drove a patrol vehicle) I I wore a cloth diaper with a booster and PUL diaper cover. At the end of the day I had to drive home in a wet diaper but it usually held till I got home and changed. I also have urge incontinence and during the ride sometimes the urge was so powerful I wet, without being able to stop the flow. I started bringing a bath towel to put on my seat.

That was how it started for me, then it got to the point where I’d start leaking a bit here and there. I could justify not wearing diapers because it was “just a little bit”, until I lost a whole full bladder on my front steps while trying to unlock my front door. From then on, regardless of what I wanted, I understood that I needed to wear diapers - but coming to terms with the internal conflict was a whole different deal that was much harder to get over.

Been there, and done that. I had to stop at a grocery store after work. My diaper was wet but wasn't leaking and I knew where everything I needed was located in the store. as I wheeled my cart through the store the urge and pain became intense and I leaked down my leg and onto the floor of the market. it was too late then so I hurriedly went to checkout and home with tears in my eyes.

Instead of using having plain Panties. Why not bring a pair of pull-ups or reusable underwear instead.

I'd wear whever in public, regardless of the situation, even when it was only spurts and the occasional flood. Eventuallly you realize that no one can tell you are wearing a diaper if you wear your pants a size up, and get ones that don't crinkle. You feel self conscious, and KNOW that everyone can tell, but the reality is no one can, unless they wear proteciton themesleves.
