Hi,
I cannot stand having to pee every 10-20 minutes!! It makes interviewing for jobs horrible/awkward, work itself completely debilitating, outings inconvenient, and social situations completely warped.
I have tried using thick pads for incontinence but I could not relax my muscles enough to allow myself to pee in them. I'm not sure if it was because I felt too strange doing this, or due to intense PFD. Probably PFD, because I have tried several times to void in a pad and could not do it.
I am toying with the idea of wearing an indwelling catheter with a pouch attached to my leg under my clothes so that I can function better and be able to hold down a job easier with my extreme frequency. My frequency is not just bad in a flaire; it's been like this constantly for the past year and 5 months. Has anyone tried this before? Is it safe? I'm afraid that if my bladder gets used to never having urine in it, it won't be able to hold any urine at all if I stopped using the indwelling cathater. I wouldn't want to use it when I'm not at work, because I'd want to see if the meds are actually helping my bladder become somewhat functioning again.
Thanks,
Lisa
