ramakentesh Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 And my POTS has been pretty bad the last 9 months - actually the worst its ever been so I was trying not to think about this and then when i had to, trying to plan so that I wasnt feeling so bad.Typically it was scheduled in the window of time during the day that I feel my worst...So i bought a 750ml bottle of orange juice and a 750 ml bottle of red mizone (like gatorade) and skulled it all beforehand. I was fine POTS wise, my heart rate was up from nerves a little, but I did ok. But then when the other speakers started I neeeded to go to the toilet REALLY bad. Now this was an important presentation where I couldnt leave. SO i held on - it got worse and worse and when I finally got out of there at an hour or so later I went to stand My bladder actually hurt and I nearly peed my pants in front of all my bosses. My bladder was so full and achy that I couldnt walk and had to waddle out of the room with all my bosses looking at me like i was a martian. I couldnt explain it to them so i just said 'busting haha'Thought this story - although painful for me might make some of you laugh...

firewatcher Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 No, I only think that it would make a "normal" person laugh. Unfortunately, I think we all understand and sympathize all too well. I am surprised that you could hold it, I'm not able to (ah, the effects of childbirth!)I hope that presentation went well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also feel a increased urge to go when i need too, more pain, more pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EarthMother Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Yeah! You were able to make the presentation!! Board meetings were always the hardest for me ... because they couldn't be rescheduled if I was having a bad day and so much hinged on a successful 'show'.So I would sit there putting ice cubes in my sandals, holding cups of hot tea and making more trips to the loo that you'd think I was a drug dealer. ;-)Big cheer to you for knocking this one out of the park.

iheartcats Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Oh I can relate, and am glad you are keeping a sense of humor. Some days out and about I think I'll wee the car. :/Glad you made it, and glad you have strong bladder muscles or it could've been more awkward.

erikainorlando Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Rama - I always appreciate your posts anyway!! We have so many obstacles tht others don't really have or I suppose some justhave different ones. Great job on your presentation!EM - you made me laugh so hard...more trips to the loo than a drug dealer...and that is no kidding...I wouldimagine if someone was to really following me thru a day they would think so much of what I do is off..............but it gets me thru the day...as I say to my kids when I am really feeling guilty..I am just really doing the best I can!
