This is more of a venting session, and not everyone understands in other circles, but maybe this is a more appropriate platform. As I type this, I am a couple weeks away from my 39th birthday. I have 3 kids; 4 year old twins and a six year old son, am 4 years sober and in the best shape of my life after losing 100 or so pounds. I got diagnosed in 2023 and had no idea what to expect. Honestly, I still don't. Everyday is a new adventure of sorts. Some days, I go to bed feeling pretty good, and wake up feeling like I got hit by a truck. Others are just the opposite. The common thing on the MS platforms and social media is that this thing is basically different for everyone affected by it. So, riddle me this- MS folks.... does anyone have else have to pee all the time? I basically know where every bathroom in town is. I know which ones are nice, which ones are nasty and which ones people party in. My wife makes me line up at the bathroom with the kids before we all pile into the car to go somewhere more than 10 minutes away. If I had a nickel for every time I converted my water bottle into a port-o-potty, I would have a few extra bucks to show for it. My urologist gave me a prescription for "bladder urgency," which I think just confuses my insides. Now, out of nowhere I have to pee real bad, then its show time, but no one to go on stage. Its pretty embarrassing to ask another grown man if you can go in front of him while doing the pee pee dance then getting to the urinal and nothing happens. Its a super awkward silence, and its a mens room, so the dude is just standing there....kinda looking at you like, "really, bro....?" I dunno, maybe it is a blessing to have the bladder control of a 15 year old Labrador. I feel like I cant even be upset with our puppy when she has an accident inside. If I even shake my head at her, she gives me a look like "you did it yesterday, dude....." My young kids wont ever feel any shame about any potty related issues. I know the feeling of having an accident and how horrible and embarrassing it feels. I am familiar with coming to terms with the fact that I am not gonna make it and giving in to making plans for the aftermath. It sucks and it's hard. Something so simple as going pee, with such a huge impact on my life was never even a thought. I have even considered a fashionable, more absorbent undergarment. But man.... that feels like giving up. Also, I lost 100 pounds, I finally feel like I look good in underwear but i don't know how my wife is going to feel about peeling me off my diaper for a night of passion.I feel like I'm stuck between a wet rock, and a damp hard place. Actually, I feel a little better about the whole thing just writing all this out, so maybe the vent session was productive. Thanks for listening. Keep fighting the good fight, Warriors!
