Hi - I'm in my mid 50's with confirmed stress and urge incontinence & lots of other LT health conditions.
I try to keep positive whatever life throws at me 😊
Managed 10 months between #botox injections! New system with HD screen (I couldn't look!) made it less uncomfortable & 10x2ml spots instead of previous 20x1ml
Day 3 & Botox kicking in - need to check for retention!!

This obsession with ‘working hard’ and ‘hard working families’ is depressingly Victorian. We live in an age of machines that can do all that stuff for us. People should be having more diverse and more fulfilled lives, not grinding away until they die.
Anxiety going into hyperdrive - new meds causing hourly toilet trips through the night and cataract op in 4 sleeps if I manage to nod off before then...

@MarinaPurkiss Congratulations!! I hope you can switch off a bit and enjoy precious moments with your little one 💙 If the first one turns your world upside down, the second tilts it on its axis and your inner tigress will be even more powerful with 2 to protect - sending love xx
The fact that Ewan McGregor’s brother, Colin McGregor is a pilot in the Royal Air Force and his aviator nickname is “Obi-Two” is my new favorite bit of knowledge.
It takes an awful lot of guts to tell someone something like this to their face. You can hear the courage in her voice. But well done you, whoever you are, I think you’re brilliant
So I'm 3 weeks post #botox and so far everything seems to be going to plan🤞🏻
I have a hypersensitive patch just as my urethra enters my bladder so having the injections awake was excruciating and I'm seriously considering going back to having them under sedation 🤔

Started with needle like pain around my right eye last week, diagnosed with #Shingles and started on antivirals yesterday, woken up with substantial pain and swelling on the RHS of my face
#NotEnjoyingThis
Botox+3 and I'm feeling really ropey - climbing blood sugars, pain in bladder area and even my feet feel too hot
#Nitrofurantoin it is then!!

Back to #WrexhamMaelorHospital for #Botox injections into my bladder
Not getting urgency symptoms during the day but it will be nice not to have to get up 3 or 4 times through the night...
