It all started in 1988 after having a radical hysterectomy due to stage two cervical cancer, 6 1/2 weeks of radiation treatments then in the hospital with a radiation implant for 6 days.
I suffer EVERY day from diarrhea. I counted several times how many times I went and it reached 34 at the highest. The radiation implant damaged my bowels, bladder, intestines and from my vagina on up. I live on Lomotil but it has gotten to where Lomotil doesn't even work anymore.
The doc only gives me 80 a month but he just doesn't understand I take 5 and more a day just to be able to sleep a few hours at night without running to the bathroom.
I have literally thousands of lesions in my bladder. I had to do hyperbaric treatments to heal some of the lesions. I was rushed to emergency due to huge blood clots trying to pass through my bladder.
The anal leakage started several months ago and is getting worse. It was nothing for me to go through $40.00 a month and more of toilet paper. It was so bad I would cry because of the burning from all the wiping. A friend told me about
her bidet and I bought one. I don't have the burning and don't go through TP like it was water but nothing stops the leakage or the diarrhea. I now have problems with my bladder. It is like a bubble of water and when I get up from a sitting position it releases and nothing I can do to stop it. I am on SS and can't afford to see specialists to tell me what I was told many years ago. You are still alive and there is nothing that can be done.
I am at a loss.l I don't know what to do. I went to Yuma last week with a friend and it's a good thing we were in the desert because we had to pull over 10 times before reaching a town. I have a very hard time leaving the house and it doesn't matter if I eat or not.
Anyone have some GOOD suggestion????
Walmart carries bidets that attach to your toilet for $87.57 through Wayfair and believe me IT HELPS with the tenderness you get from wiping all the time.
