mahleedl Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 The idea isn't to interrupt your wetting, it's to interrupt your sleep so that you can wet, rather than involuntarily holding it until you wake from the pain of a full bladder. Link to comment
mahleedl Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I've been holding out on an update because I had a bad/frustrating day a couple of weeks ago and wanted to see if it was a fluke... Link to comment
Dill_Pickle Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Well, you were in an especially tense situation...and not drinking properly. I am getting curious enough that I see myself playing with the afex system, and think you may need some practice yourself, as well as to do some driving while really leaking. Confidence and fear make all the difference! Link to comment
DavidMW Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 So now you know that the muscles are still there, that they still work and that they will work in an unusual/stressful situation. Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'm thinking along similar lines. Your muscles have not yet atrophied and your mind still remembers how to control them. So maybe in putting those pieces together with the stress etc. it all kind of 'went into overdrive' as an over-reaction trying harder than necessary to retain since it hasn't been used to doing that in some time. Kind of like picking up something you expected to be heavy only to find it light as a feather Since it cured itself quickly I don't think it will have any lasting effects Link to comment
mahleedl Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 I knew I could count on you guys for just the right bit of perspective! Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Pendulum? Perhaps. Those muscles should want to get back to their new 'natural' state after the unexpected workout you gave them Link to comment
incondl Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 It would be my thought that if incontinence is what you want then whatever the situation is at any given time is the first priority is always to never hold it. Incontinence is just that. You can't let a certain setting stop you whether it be urinary or bowel. You just always need to be prepared for every situation. Sometimes situations change and you need to be prepared for that too. Happens to me all the time. Happens to every incontinent person all the time. While its not a mindset for me and just occurs you need to get into that mindset. I can't comment as to how you get there but it has to be a just do it attitude. Can the wrong thing happen at the wrong time? Absolutely but it goes with the territory. There are medical devices used to help those with no control and much extra maintenance involved with them.

Dill_Pickle Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 incondl This situation is an excellent demonstration of the idea that "two-mindedness" is literally true. Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 DP, I'm of two minds about that Link to comment
whisko Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 dill, i read that a different way: mahlee wanted to consciously control himself, and surprisingly (though painfully), he did. surprising, just because the outcome was contrary to the conditioning he had been providing his body for the months preceding the trip...

Creepymouse Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Strange how the subconscious will take control when you, consciously, don't really think there should be a problem. 2 Link to comment
toddwr250r Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Mahleed, quick question. Have you noticed any changes in you bm's? Link to comment

mahleedl Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 BTW: I'd credit the change to hydration level. Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Maheedl, based on your past BM timing I'd say you are right Going off topic a moment here with some possibly graphically unpleasant wording- DO NOT READ further if you just ate or have a weak stomach! Following is some info on the digestive system and what you should see happening. Link to comment
diapertime42 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 A 12 inch turd?? Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Turd is acceptable, and yes 12 inches is in the normal range- what I am speaking of it total length for one BM which usually consists of more than one turd. BTW, all other stuff being equal, longer ones signify and easier passage and thus less likelihood of restrictions or blockage. Same for shape- the rounder the better. The biggest clue to possible problems are significant changes over a short period of time with no obvious cause for them. Link to comment

Bettypooh Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 MDL, remember that it's your body to do with as YOU please, not as your Doctor pleases Doctors are diagnosticians, providers of advice and treatment, and hopefully something of a friend- things beyond that is not their realm and sometimes some of them have to be reminded of that If he hasn't done so yet, he may want you to have a PSA (prostate) check as your age is such that it could be an issue- and just for safety I'd go along with that How much further far you want to go is up to you and you alone. Other than possible skin conditions (diaper rash) and the chance of permanent sphincter atrophy there are no medical contraindications on using diapers instead of the toilet, and you may have to explain that to him 1 Link to comment
dl_ashlee Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I didn't read the whole thread, but from your last post you should at least go get your incontinence checked out to see if it is a side effect of something else bad going on in your body. Link to comment
