Sorry Maybe TMI

It's not TMI. We all have crazy, bizarre things going on.

Does it just feel like that or are you actually having those issues? I'm asking because I used to get a sensation that felt like fluid running down the inside of my leg. The first few times I thought I was peeing myself. It was just a creepy crawly odd nerve thing. Still happens sometimes.

The swamp thing-could that just be sweat possibly caused by Babs?

If it isn't a just feels like it situation instead of adult diapers which are very expensive (my grandma lived until she was 97) I'd try something like poise pads. I just googled them and they a wide variety of products to fit all needs. They are for "LBL" aka light bladder leakage.

Dave,

No TMI worries. I post TMI stuff all the time, as I have bowel issues.

If you're a man, get the prostate checked just to be safe as prostate troubles in middle age definitely do cause dribbling. My dad had it years ago.

I am a middle aged woman and for several years, I had bladder leakage and would not realize I needed to urinate until my bladder was full and if I coughed, sneezed, or laughed. . . . Well, I think you know what happened.

I am also mold sick, and left my moldy house and office a year and a half ago. (I'm making this point because mold can cause the same symptoms as Lyme.) Since then and since starting detox treatment, the bladder issues stopped. I still have many other symptoms, but not that one. I honestly can't say why it stopped. I'm a year and a half older and closer to menopause now, so it doesn't really make sense. The fact that it stopped when I got out of a moldy environment and started detox leads me to believe it was related to neurotoxicity.

This disease does play havoc with bladder and bowel control. It will get better with treatment.

Hi Dave,

According to the link below it states men in their 30's could have this problem:

"The prostate gland is a male reproductive organ that is about the size of a walnut, found at the base of the bladder. The urethra is a thin tube that allows the passage of urine out of the penis. It runs through the prostate gland. Fluid produced by this gland helps to protect and feed sperm, which come from the seminal vesicles via the ejaculatory ducts into the urethra.

The prostate undergoes two main growth spurts. The first is fuelled by sex hormones made by the testicles during puberty. This prompts the gland to reach an average weight of 20 grams in adulthood. For reasons that are unclear, the second growth spurt begins when men are in their 30s.

The prostate continues to enlarge with age to an average weight of 40 grams in men in their 70s. Many men experience urinary changes as they age, which may be caused by inflammation or enlargement of the prostate gland. An enlarged prostate gland, however, does not always cause urinary problems. Troublesome urinary symptoms are rarely symptoms of prostate cancer."

What do you have to lose by seeing a urologist?

Hope you find the answers and feel better,
