Help! I may have screwed this up. Went to the doctor today. Note I’m 100% self paying for any medical visits, procedures, pills etc. I have been having IBS and started messing in my sleep after my colonoscopy a few weeks ago. I had an appendectomy last year and had continence issues after. I wet the bed and wear diapers to remedy. I have embellished the daytime wetting and BM accidents, although I use diapers for everything now. There is some control.
My wife made me go to the doctor. I’ve told my parents and friends of the issues. I’m ready at work. Now the medical community…
I told the doctor I’ve had a few daytime BM “accidents” and have been having “urge incontinence” as well. She was caring and understanding. I got the colonoscopy because of my stomach problems but when I went in today I told her I wasn’t honest when she asked if I had had accidents and then embellished the daytime wetting and messing accidents.
The doctor gave me an RX for Oxybutynin that has some scary side effects including dry mouth which I already have. Of course this won’t solve the bowel incontinence which is the real issue. Now I’m scheduled for an MRI and getting referrals out to urologist and going back to my colon doctor (had a polyp at 37).
Any advice on what path I should take now? I’m concerned the specialists will read through it, especially the urologist considering it’s not entirely true on that front especially during the day.
