I knew that something like 80% of Masers had urinary and bowel issues at some point, but I’ve had my disease for so long and not had issues that I thought it wasn’t affecting me, or wouldn’t for a while. Part of this recent flare though has been a combo of retention and incontinence, so has been entirely unmanageable. I can’t go to work or do hardly anything because of the embarrassment and shame. Even with timed bathroom breaks, pelvic floor pt, and incontinence underwear/diapers, it’s horrible and I’m having several accidents a day. It’s been so sudden, and I’m trying to just roll with it like I do my other symptoms, but it feels impossible. I’m in my 20s with no kids. Everything about incontinence is marketed towards women who have had kids or the elderly. I feel alone and embarrassed and betrayed by my body and it just really sucks. I have a drs appt today to make sure there’s nothing more serious going on but man. I’m depressed enough I just want to lay in bed and cry all day
