Do I laugh or cry?

So, I'm sitting at my computer this morning, and my bottom felt wet. And then wetter. And spreading down my leg. OK, so I do have some urinary incontinence, and I protect against it always. Obviously it failed rather badly today. Shake the dog off my feet, dig out fresh underwear, shove the dog out of my way, ransack the pile of clean clothes I haven't put away to find comfy pants, scoot the dog aside again (Isn't this fun, Mum? wag wag sluuurp), and stagger into the bathroom. I'm swearing a blue streak, because this was NOT on today's agenda. I strip everything off...and there's no moisture. Anywhere. I'm standing there half naked, feeling up my "wet" legs, and they're not wet. Sigh. MS got me again.

I'd opt for laughing.

When that's happened to me, it's always been for real.

I hate to be right.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I hate that but my spouse loves it. We now laugh at it because he says he gets a free peep show 😞

MS, does try - we just have to tell it we're stronger "Together." I would let my doc be aware, would be good to mention. Blessings Always -. NeeC

Ah, yes. MS, the disease that plays cruel tricks on its victims. It is so uniquely adaptable to each of us. Like you, I've felt wet when I'm totally dry; the other day, my usual shower felt as if it were throwing pins at me. Now, in early summer, the ticks are in constant search of fresh prey, so MS has deployed its old crawling sensation. It's a crazy making disease!

Well consider this a pleasant outcome. My bane is our cattle guard at the front gate. I’m not sure exactly the mechanism but the vibration of crossing it in a vehicle starts about a 30 second timer. I need to be parked, out of the vehicle and β€˜ready’. Sometimes I feel too late but in reality I am dry. Other times, β€œOOPS”! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

πŸ˜‚ only because I know what you mean! Hasn’t happened in a minute but I hear ya!

Keep laughing because the other alternative isn't very good. I also have similar issues. Sometimes. I think I feel moisture on my legs and it's not there. Other times. It feels like I've had a bug bite or a sharp sudden pain like I hurt myself on my leg or something and I look down and nothing's there. The way I look at it why not laugh because I am certainly glad I'm not wet or having pee running down my legs. And I'm glad that I haven't injured myself again and have blood everywhere because I've acciidently hurt something again. Fancy59. πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ˜

Oh, I do that, too! The worst of it is that when I'm actually injured I don't feel it! I've learned to carry a bandanna along when I do yard work just to mop up the blood that suddenly appears on my arms or face.

Oh, yes. That mysterious moisture that convinces me of β€œwater β€œ running down my legs! Nothing there, but very convincing. Just laugh about it and count your blessings!

before my period each time it feels like hot liquid is running down from the backs of my thighs. to my upper calves. this last time when i felt it i was cleaning the tub. i'd bent over to rinse and when i stood i swear, it felt like the hot liquid ran down my left thigh and and then dripped on my right calf!!! i thought i'd actually weed myself because it was different, but nope. just more paraesthesia.
