Eric,

When we are dealing with difficult issues it is hard to the good. The good news is that you know what the problem is and you are taking medication that will clear it up. I would suggest that you discuss with your urologist now, ways that you can help empty your bladder more fully. This may help from developing more UTIs.

I know where you are coming from even though things did start happening to me until later in life. I wanted to take all my toys pack them up and stay in my room when I was hit with full on incontinence. I knew that if I went out of the house I would need to find a bathroom where I was. The other thing I knew was that as soon as the car got close to the house I would need to go. I cannot tell you the number of times that I did not make it. It was so hard to accept but I had to decide if I wanted to have a life and live it or stay home. Eventually I took to wearing depends and life went back to normal what ever that is.

Hang in there,

Mike
