Does anyone else find that after sitting for 30 mins they need to rush to the toilet as if there is pressure on the bladder

Hi,

not personally but Fibromyalgia can cause an irritable bladder making one need to 'go' more frequently than normal.

Hi there

I am the opposite. Once I have got up after sitting for a while I am desperate for the loo!

Take care

I do!! I keep my legs raised during the evening and boy, when I get up do I need to go!?! Mind you I do drink a lot of fluid, but it just seems more so in the evening. Also, first thing in the morning I have trouble holding it while getting to the loo!! XX

As they say thank goodness for Tennas lol, we start out with nappies and end up with nappies lol, you gotta laugh otherwise we'd cry, it's one of those things we can't change so I have to accept it, I've done all the pelvic exercises that are suppose to help the bladder but guess if our muscles are going ping tong elsewhere then they are sure to go ping tong there aren't they LOL LOL ...gentle hugs and a handful of sunshine to you all .....Dee xxx

Hi Cookie72

I had to laugh at what you have written. I was in Sainsbury's the other week and my wife said to me look at these! And Tennas now do a MANS TENNA WEAR!! I was absolutely gob smacked!

Hope that you are as well as can be? Ken x

[Cookie72 in reply to TheAuthor]

Hi Ken hope you are feeling reasonable well,....yes they have been doing Men Tenna for ages now, ...every thing is out in the open now isn't it none of this hush hush like it was years ago when I was a lot younger, it seems to be an accepted complaint now, thank goodness, cos it makes it easier to laugh about doesnt it, I've had irratable bladder for years now, and with the complaint we have I don't think any of us will get off lightly in that area do you LOL , still as I say it's a good job we can all laugh about it.....gentle hug and sending you a handful of sunshine...take good care...Dee x

Thanks Cookie72

I remember when I was a young boy, my mum would send me to a local shop with a piece of paper that read. 'Pack of doctor whites no 2 and please put them in a paper bag'.

Now being a young boy I did not have a clue what this was about! Upon becoming a teenager I used to cringe at the thought of this! But now, as you say it is so open! I must admit I am now in a fit of giggles remembering this.

Take care my friend

You made me remember My Dad strangely - when I was a little girl of about 4 my Dad and I every Saturday would walk down the parade at Leamington Spa to take refreshments at the pump rooms. Dad would have a coffee and I had ice cream and Lucozade. Now being terribly grown up I excused myself and went off to the ladies.

Shortly after I returned to the table saying "I thought these were useful Daddy" and thrust a quantity of sanitary bags at him that I had found in the Loo. He did well not to blush but I was sent buss ling back to hang them up!

Hi gins & ken, it's surprising what memories come flooding back once you start talking about them, I remember when I was a little girl my mum was obviously pregnant with another child her fourth, and I remember her saying we are going to have a little brother or sister, she must have gone to the clinic or something cos she came home with this big brown box, promptly put it on top of the wardrobe, when I asked what was in it she said your new baby brother or sister, I was only 7yrs old and you wouldn't believe the amount of times I climbed up on to a chair to try get this box down as I thought it wasn't nice keeping a baby in a box lol, then of course my aunt took me out one day and behold when I got back there was this little baby boy and the box had gone, LOL the things they told us in those days, my how things have altered, it was a very taboo subject wasnt it, well it was in my days that year was 1948, my mum honestly thought that babies came from her belly button, boy did she get a shock when she had my eldest brother bless her.....I guess there's many stories we could all tell....gentle hugs my fibro friends ....Dee xx
