A wee problem
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make myself spend a penny? I've tried running the taps, and also drinking loads of water (over 2 litres a day). I've also tried drinking a bit of diet coke as I don't drink anything with caffeine in, and it's supposed to help. I'm sure I don't have cystitis or a bladder infection - and believe me, I've had enough of them to know!! I've had this problem for days, and it's getting worse.
Trouble is, I drink loads, get up in the night to have a wee, sit there for ages unable to go, then forget whether I've been or not, and have to check! I can go eventually, but it's taking longer and longer. Last time I had this problem this badly, I went to hospital to be catheterised, and ended up staying there for several days, but I had more numbness in my lower half then. I've had reduced feeling in my lower half ever since. My legs and feet are worst affected. I had to stop using a wet razor to shave my legs for a while, as I'd cut myself without feeling it, and bleed everywhere.
