Hi,

I have a suggestion for you.There are several different incontinence forums out there.One is called the incontinence discussion forum and another is callled the bladder control forum.Many people ask different questions about incontinence and they also talk about their frustrations.

There are also many health groups out there dealing with different disorders.Yahoo has many such groups as well as MSN Network.You might want to do a Google search such as "Yahoo health groups" or "Incontinence forums plus online support groups." Sometimes you have to register before posting to the groups but they can be a good source of both advice and support.

I have several posts dealing with bedwetting and the wearing of diapers to manage it.You might want to take a look at these.Please don't feel discouraged-there are plenty of people in the same boat.I encourage you to try the different online support groups out there-it could help you a lot.

Hi-

I can certainy relate. I'm only a little older than you (32), but have had similar problems since high school. I'm always happy to find people to talk to. This can be a very difficult thing to talk about, but help is out there! I've recently been involved in a small support group. It's a group of women (at least some of whom are in our general age range) who are dealing with this. Please feel free to send me an e-mail if you're interested in participating! amy.mcohen@yahoo.com.

Take care,

Amy

hi! i have a big problem. back in nov 25 2007, i started to train myself how to hold my pee. ihave been incontinent for the past 2months since then. i had all my test and they cant find the reason why is this happening to me. so i was saying back in nov 25, until dec. 20 i tried to hold my urge to pee for at least in every 2hrs. it was successful, i will just stay relax, and still drink lots of water at that time. my doctor gave me some flomax, on dec 6, i didnt take the medicine because according to the internet it is only for men. and so holding my urine continues. then on dec 20, iam still doing my act and unfortunately i wear a tight jeans that day, and uncomfortably holding my urine and i feel some pain in my lower abs. and later that night, after i pee, i saw some blood on the tissue paper, from my urethra. i didnt tell my doctor cause i think it's just nothing. then later that day it went away, and there is blood coming out of my vagina, so i think that is just my period. after a week, the blood went away. and sometimes after holding my urge or controlling my pee, i will feel dizzy and all of a sudden there is huge headache i will feel.i will also feel somtime some pumping sensation on my sides, in the rib area. and some pumping or rhythm on my bladder area. and at night when i feel the urge to pee, and im about to get up, i will just feel some lift feeling in my abdomen, my urge will fade away and when i reach the bathroom, there is little urine coming out. at work that also happen to me. i have this incontinence problem somewhere in september, but it got worst on october, to the point i have to miss work because of it, my family thinks its just all in my mind, but i think that this is serious, and it got worst because i dont wanna miss out trips to MA and on our way when i feel the urge to pee, i have to hold it because there is no easy access on the highway for a restroom. i know this is getting too serious, and right now i dont have any urge to pee anymore. and i drink lots of water today, still nothing. im so afraid now. i dont know if someone out there in the name of our Lord is willing to help me. i feel strange... i have incontinence, but i chose to hold the pee rather than to pee at all. please include me in your prayers.... im so down now im breaking apart and i still have plans for my mom and dad, but now i think i will need to leave them behind and sorry if i wasnt able to put up a house for them or give them anything...

I guess I am looking for someone to talk to as well. I'm 23 and I have been incontinent my entire life so I definitely understand how you feel. It really sucks to feel like you are all alone especially when it seems like no one else really understands. It'd be great to talk to someone who knows what I am going through!

hi im also having incontinence, the muscles to control my urine is always like it is shaking and asking me to go to the bathroom. in a month now, i tried to hold my pee comfortbaly for at least an hour or 2 if i can from the time i just went to the bathroom. last week, i started to feel pain in my urethra and found blood after i pee. now i feel like there is a little pee coming out even i do nothing, and now i feel some heaviness in my lower abs if i dont go to the bathroom after i feel the urge. so to tell you dont try to control your pee and just do it, cause you dont know it may get more serious like my case...

Hi Krizia,

I'm sorry that you are going through this. Please know that you have a friend in me, who understands the frustration of having incontinence. It sounds like you may have done some damage to your kidneys or bladder. You should see a urologist or urogynecologist. As for me, I can't hold it b/c it dribbles out on its own.

You are in my thoughts ans prayers. Feel free to talk to me. :-)
