Yet another grim reality of head injuries/strokes/haemorrahges. This affliction makes me feel





as a woman.
I was not warned about this as it doesn't always happen to patients.
I can be sat down at the computer, watching telly, etc, feel nothing then as I get up...whoosh!!! Oh dear God. And I cannot hold it in to save myself or do pelvic floor exercises as the muscles there simply do not work from the brain damage caused. I had to but a Radar key which unlocks all disabled toilets in the UK so I can just dive in anyone if needs be.
Spazzy leg and spazzy bladder!!
My GP put me on the maximum dose of solifenacin succinate aka Vesicare which makes the bladder not as over-sensitive and retain urine better. It helps greatly.
On the image below, I'm problem 3 resulting from neurological disorders.
Isn't it horrible? All this grief, aggro and humiliation from a brain fart!
Damn, Sharon! So many obstacles, for lack of a better word, for one woman! I don't know what the time frame was from age 19, I believe you said, but, you look young. When women get older, some in their 40's and some in their 50's, we pee ourselves if we laugh too hard! I guess the point would be to enjoy yourselves while you can, ladies! You never know what kind of hand life is going to deal to you!
