    Hey Joanne,

    Sorry that you're experiencing this right now, a lot of others are probably in the same position as you right now too.

    It's also great that you've seen your doctor about this, but if the tablets/ treatments are not working for you perhaps you could go to see your doctor again? Would that be an option?

    Hiya Joanne,

    Just checking in with you to see how you are. 

    Sorry your struggling with bedwetting. I understand how difficult it must be. I'm 29 and I wet the bed. I have medication that does help. Sometimes it's about finding the right medication for you which will help.  

    I understand how difficult it is, your not alone.

    Do take care,

    Keep posting if you need too.

    Hey there joanne it's great to see that you've been to the doctor about this, hopefully the tablets she gave you will do the trick! Let us know how you get on with them. :)

    That sounds hopeful:)
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Hey Joanne, 

    That's really great to hear :) And really well done for reaching out for support and going to see the doctor. It's not easy to do at all. Do keep us updated with how things are going. I hope your next appointment at the hospital goes okay.

    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Hi
    I don´t want to open a seperate thread since I found this old one. My problem is a missing link (nerve) between bowel/bladder and my brain. I am incontinent since birth and got lots of baddest experiences therefor. At school, on playgrounds or being out with Papa and/or Mama. For a teenager it seems be the worst case szene still need diapers. But I learned to deal and maybe I can give some advice to others in same situatione. B)
