    Drinking water is healthier than drinking most anything else. It cleans out your kidneys. I drink at least 1 1/2 to 2 litres of water per day. Try it. Water may taste plain and bland, but it's usually healthier for your system. If you have wetting accidents, not drinking water usually makes it worse. Have you gone to a doctor about it? I'd also recommend wearing adult diapers to keep your pants dry. I wear all the time and I've no shame or problems with it.

    thanks for the advise I wish my doctor had told me about this site sooner I spoted a flyer on his buliten board about a month ago right after I was given the bad news my sacral nerves and the nerves in my bladder are slowly dying part of the prostate is also effected from a spinal cord injury they are'nt being fed any more by the body, it really sucks. At first I had no feeling below the waist spent a long time in the hospital and one day it just came back . I am learning alot real fast about water when to drink and how long it takes to leave your system. I am  thankfull for the Input from others becuse I didnt even know that they made cloth diapers and water proof pants for adults untill I came here and at night there isn't any thing better. Don't know how the daytime is going to go as it worsens, its so bad now that if I crouch down  the compression forces me to go. A few people know at work thats where the injury occured they came to the hospital to visit me thats how they found out but they'er all good friends alot of jokes at first. thanks and  good luck  I know how it is I think davidbSurprised

    Although wearing diapers is hardly a cure-all for whatever ailment(s) may be causing the problems, and may seem strange at first, at least they'll keep your pants dry. Drinking water is the best thing to do. It cleans out your kidneys and makes for lighter coloured urine. Instead of dark yellow, it's lighter yellow to almost clear. I still drink soda pop now and then, but most of the time, I drink water. I find that to be healthier. I don't smoke or drink much alcohol.

    Maria,thanks im printing that article on water and takeing it with me so Elizabeth can read it I knew it I really cant drink 8 glasses omg. I do good on two or three in the day and two or three at night . If I get behind on my water I make it up at night because I can deal with it better now that I come here and learned better ways to deal with this. Im not as embarrased as before and my goodness I sure sleep good now any position I want its great. davidb

    Hi, glad the comment on drinking water helped get you thinking about things. My whole family lives there in alb. N M I was just there last month it was hot. so hard to keep your skin moist I live north of S F where there is lots of nice cool fog. dont fall for drinking cokes instead of water cuse it will age your skin fast down there in alb I know from looking at my family....  luckily Im getting all fixed up now but still gotta drink water I need my face to stay young looking and beautiful lol

    hi jeffery , I like talking to you but we should be doing it on private messages on our profiles then wecan   exchange email adresses there if you would like . I want to tell you stuff like since I can wear a dress now it is so much easier if I have to wear protection some times I have to on bad days when things just wont work right  or I know there arent going to be bathrooms close by cuz I cant hold it very long sometimes when I get out of balance. I really like being a girl and having more control than I did before they found out why I got so many infections it wasnt just because of not drinking enough water any way you must of just got home from work and getting ready   for bed look for   daisy my profile pic is a blond girl thats me I will look for your profile under jeffery so we can talk more off this page soon take care daisy
