Socially unacceptable :(
I have bowel issues either due to MS or due to gabapentin. Unfortunately I was lucky enough to experience the oopsies in public.. I believe due to my OCD this has traumatised me and led me onto a glorious path of anxiety.. I dislike sitting in the car, going outside for a walk purely because there is no toilet available ! I am not sure if this is caused by MS (as I have lesions in my spine) or is this anxiety or bit of both. Either way, I am writing here to ask whether any of you have some coping mechanisms for this? I have quite a few myself but I would like to get out of this for a long term.. I really want to feel less agoraphobic and enjoy life a little more. Don’t get me wrong I can entertain myself at home… Just don’t want to disappoint my friends all the time.
P.s. currently drinking macrogol but it’s just hit or miss as I refuse to leave house if I did not go for no2..
I’m sorry sorry you are going through this. I do not have this issue but I have the complete opposite and wouldn’t go at all if I didn’t take daily medicine to help me go. Have you talked to your physician? Surley they can help with either adding a medication or changing the gabapenton if needed. You can’t live like that! You need to get out of the house
@Steph7 thank you for your message ❤️ My issues are due to constipation.. I spoke to my GP and they just prescribed anxiety tablets.
