Own up!

[MoyB]

Who else farts when they cough?! It's more embarrassing than the cough itself. I'd like to know I'm not alone. Lol!

[sassy59]

Pete does! Xxx 😀👍

[MoyB in reply to sassy59]

Ha! I have company! Lol!

[wheezyof]

Hello Moy,

I clenched my buttocks just reading this but they are not the cheeks that were red!

Yes, sometimes I fart when I cough. I must admit I have to remember to clench when I feel a cough coming on in case I leek urine. I pee as soon as I feel the need as I worry a lot about the idea of stress incontinence. It hasn't happened yet...

Is this another joy to look forward to? Wearing pads so I don't trickle wee as I walk about. What if the farts turn to worse...

Trying to think ahead I've added pelvic floor exercise to my gentle physio regime.

So no Moy you are not the only farter here xxx

[MoyB in reply to wheezyof]

I can relate to all of that! The joys of living with a lung condition, eh? Who would think that a simple cough could cause so much mayhem? xx Moy

[corriena]

You are not alone 😖😕😔😳

[MoyB in reply to corriena]

Haha! I'm so glad. I'm sure my husband thinks I've got faulty plumbing! xx Moy

[Hidden]

I fart even when I’m not coughing. Isn’t it acceptable etiquette for men? Lol 🏋🏻‍♂️

[MoyB in reply to Hidden]

I'm sure my husband would agree with you!

[Shancock]

Have bad reflux and bloating etc, all that comes with that so after eating I'm terrible, and after drinking I have to burp too!

[MoyB in reply to Shancock]

Ah yes! Reflux has a lot to answer for, doesn't it?! As if a cough wasn't enough of a problem on its own. xx Moy

[hypercat54]

Oh dear. Not only do I er... break wind, I also leak as well. A triple whammy. x

[Hidden in reply to hypercat54]

Me too Hyper, although I leak more or less all the time.

[hypercat54 in reply to Hidden]

Um not quite but am working up to that! x

[MoyB in reply to hypercat54]

I'll admit to that too! xx Moy

[Shancock in reply to hypercat54]

Yes me too, when I cough I do that a lot. I don't care admitting it, I use Tena's. Even at best times my bladder is size of a pea, after having my children it very much effected bladder control! And bad coughing too, it's like a double whammy.

[hypercat54 in reply to Shancock]

Tena ladies are far out of my price range so I use Always which are a lot cheaper! x

[MoyB in reply to hypercat54]

Always good advice on here! xx Moy

[hypercat54 in reply to MoyB]

Groan... x

[rossie1942 in reply to hypercat54]

Do you have Home Bargains store nearby as they are selling Tena for much same price as Always at the moment.

[hypercat54 in reply to rossie1942]

Well it depends on what you mean as near me. There is one on the outskirts of the next town which takes around 20 minutes by car and 1 and a half hours by 3 buses! I don't have transport. Where I live there is a lot of out of town shopping areas and everyone is expected to have their own transport!

Stuff Tena ladies though as I can buy a packet of 48 Rennies in Home Bargains for less than the price of 24 in my local Tesco Metro! x

[Hidden]

Well now I know I'm in excellent company. XXX

[hypercat54 in reply to Hidden]

Not sure about excellent company poems but you are certainly not alone x

[Hacienda]

I Blame our Princess, She jumps when I cough, Hubby is the Farter xxxx

[bayleyray-uk]

Both hubby and myself have the same problem at the moment for different reasons for me its the coughing and John is still recovering from major surgery, We are both trying to come to terms with having less control over our bodies than we did and we now carry a diaper bag for the necessary stuff. Ah the joy of getting older...…..

Sue

[hypercat54 in reply to bayleyray-uk]

Oh dear that's a bit bad Sue x

[MoyB]

Thank you all for sharing your experiences. I'm sorry and glad in equal measures that others have the same problem as I do. Sounds like a gun going off some times! And I have the same problem with needing the loo a bit too urgently to make it in time. Oh joy! Don't we all have fun? Still, at least we all know we are not alone with it. xx Moy

[Candyred]

Just fart! .. I loose my breath.. fart .. eyes water .. fart .. choke.. fart .. feel dizzy .. fart .. then to top it all off I pee!.. that’s just an ordinary day here xx

[MoyB in reply to Candyred]

It's all starting to feel as though it's the norm! I've been at it again tonight. Luckily, I don't have to walk far to the loo. As you say, 'an ordinary day'. xx Moy

[Ergendl]

Don't need to cough to pass wind these days. I've just bought some cheese with charcoal in to help improve the smell.

[MoyB in reply to Ergendl]

Ooh! I didn't know such a thing existed. xx Moy

[Ergendl in reply to MoyB]

I didn't until yesterday, when I went to the craft fair at Tatton Park, Knutsford, Cheshire. I've known a long time that charcoal tablets improve the smell of wind in very windy dogs.

[MoyB in reply to Ergendl]

You live and learn! Let us know if it works. xx Moy

[Tetrazzini]

I reckon its only a problem if there are lumps in it.

[MoyB in reply to Tetrazzini]

Me too! Haha!

[Clamdigger]

. When I was young I could hold a fart for ever... I could laugh with out worrying about peeing myself. ... I could bend over any time with out farting ....I miss those years of having such control,....I don't even want to scratch my ass when I"m out for fear of farting in public.....

[MoyB in reply to Clamdigger]

Oh dear! Another one joins the club! Welcome to the SFC ie the Spontaneous Fart Club. We're clearly not unique! xx Moy

[Whitechinchilla]

I don’t but thanks for making me laugh!!

[MoyB in reply to Whitechinchilla]

You're welcome, you lucky thing! I do it when I laugh too. Aaargh! There's no escape! xx Moy

[Lynibins]

Omg!! Just laughed out loud at this post, it’s the only multitasking I am very capable of 😂😳

[MoyB in reply to Lynibins]

Brilliant! I never thought of it as 'multitasking'! xx Moy

[skischool]

Dear Moy,may i say that you have come up'trumps'with this wonderfully honest post and fortunately i avoided peeing myself laughing with some of the replies received.i am looking forward to more of your observations on life.

Ski's xxx

[MoyB in reply to skischool]

Glad you are back home, Skis, and full of your usual good humour. Well, if we can't laugh at ourselves there's not much fun to be had in this condition, is there? I love the replies too. Glad you didn't pee yourself! xx Moy
