Mr. Sea Otter Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm curious about the bowel at night issues. What's happening there? Just having trouble making the toilet in the morning? Or waking up with a loaded diaper and not remembering it happening? Link to comment

Craisler Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Well, you could always take the advice I was given if bowel incontinence becomes a problem; use Nullo or some similar product. The stuff is effective. Personally, I'd consider a soiled night diaper to be a minor problem. Do you normally wake up sometime during the night needing a bowel movement and go to the bathroom? Do you have any idea when you soil your diaper. If your wife doesn't smell it, I'd guess that it happens shortly before you or she wakes up. Most people, myself included, wake up in the morning needing to go. If I don't go while I'm still lying in bed thinking about getting up, I will find myself filling my diaper while I'm shaving or brushing my teeth. I'd love to have your "problem." Then I could sleep longer in the morning and not be awaken by the need to poop. Link to comment
mahleedl Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 I've used nullo, activated charcoal, and Pro-M (which is a mushroom derivative) at various times. Link to comment
Inconito Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I see that I've once again managed to go a couple of months without an update, lol, so here goes Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks for the update! Perhaps you can alleviate the situation with the second Doc somewhat if he wants tests you've already had by telling him that No point in doing again what's already been done, is there? That will also help establish their understanding that it's your body and you, not them, make the decisions about it. Seems a lot of doctors have a problem understanding that rather simple concept I must say I find it interesting how you describe things occurring more in 'steps' than gradually- thinking that over it does make sense!

RainbowKitten Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I've been curious about this after discovering a lot of this online and everything. The idea of becoming incontinent seems crazy, though it has piqued my interest I suppose. My questions though, are for those who lost all bladder control during both day and night time, but tried to regain control. Link to comment
mahleedl Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 @RainbowKitten, I can't respond to your questions because I have not attempted to regain control. Link to comment
bwakee Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 To be honest, I wouldn't see it questionable at all for someone to refuse sending electrical currents through their body. lol. Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I should have refused it myself, but I went through getting an interstem test implant. It's sort of like a pacemaker for your bladder, and is supposed to lessen the spasms associated with urge incontinence. My implant only made things worse and felt like I was being shocked the entire time I had it. Eventually I flat out told them to take it out. Afterwards, my neurological blockage was way worse and my urges were just the same. Link to comment
mahleedl Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'll draw the line before Interstim. Link to comment

kevindhca Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Went 24/7, one month ago. I'm joining the ranks of the fully incontinent. Wearing every night just isn't enough, got to add daytime too. It has been fairly easy, I've got over 25 years of experience wearing every night, and plenty of daytime use too. It's been a long path started over 25 years ago, getting used to what I always new was the ultimate end result. Taking the long road gives plenty of time to adjust so that going 24/7 is a fairly small step. The first step was bedwetting, had a bit of help with that one from a bladder infection. Step two frequent urination, train to empty in less than two hours. Step three suppress outer sphincter contractions, it takes quite a few years to completely deaden the reflex action. Now that the active continence is gone, losing the rest of the passive continence should proceed fairy quickly. Link to comment
