15. I wet the bed...
2020 started off just the same, never mind new year, new me. I was still tired, out of routine, uncomfortable, swollen and in pain, literally nothing new. Positive vibes and all haha.
07.01.2020- I decided to go DAIRY FREE🐄. I have read a lot of information on how milk and other dairy products can affect your bladder health. I decided to go full hog and not have milk or chocolate in my diet for the foreseeable future. This was going to be hard! im the biggest chocoholic ever.
I did this though at completely the wrong time! It was exam season, so super stressed and this is the time when I need all the revision snacks I can get. 😩
I was also still on Hiprex and burning everyday.
Three days into my dairy free venture and I had my first exam of January. I had felt funny since I woke up that day, got to my exam and my friends were just saying "You're nervous Lex, you'll be fine." I don’t get nervous for exams like ever so it was not okay.
The nausea was like hell the whole time,🤢 right through my exam. I knew if I went to the toilet in the exam, I was bound to throw up and would not make it back. I had to hold it in for as long as I could. I drove home, got in and sat for no longer than 5 minutes when bam the first wave hit me. I ran to the toilet and 🤮
This then continued for the next 10 hours straight till I had nothing left to give. 😩 I was so bad, I just had to have a sick bowl next to my bed as I never had the energy to lift my head up off of the pillow, never mind get to the toilet.
Each time I threw up, my whole body spasmed, including my bladder. Each time I threw up, it was like someone through a firework up my urethra, burning, shooting shocks everytime. I was in agony, my whole body felt like it had been ran over and set on fire. The pain was too much.
Mainly because of the throw-up session I stopped taking Hiprex because the burning was too much! I had another exam in 4 days where 2 of them I was zoned out and couldn’t focus! You wonder why I failed it🤷🏻♀️😭
If this was the side effect of tablets I was fed up of taking them and it had only been 6/7 weeks😭 This meant it’s starting to tarnish my life, my goals, my future. The thought of having to take them for the rest of my life or whatever was a no go!🙅🏻♀️
In other news...the burning had eased because I hadn’t taken the Hiprex tablet! Over the next few days I hadn’t had any symptoms at all! Heaven🙌🏼
22.01.20- I decided to try again and take Hiprex. I knew I couldn’t back to the urologist and say I gave up! It probably wasn’t the best day as I was feeling a bit off down there, especially when going to the toilet but I had to give it a go!
The next day was D-Day😑
23.01.20- I woke up and wet the bed🥴
YES I WET THE BED!
In my sleep I was having a dream that I really needed the toilet and couldn’t get to one - life story😒 - anyway once I made it and sat down (still in my dream) the toilet I was sitting on started lifting up from the floor with a green smoky light coming from underneath like in a club!
I’m half asleep at this point slowly waking and I thought oh what’s that?🤔 I woke up wetting the bed🥴
Dan was next to me in the bed and I was mortified! He’s seen a lot but wetting the bed was a new one😭 I screamed at him to move quick, get out of the bed and I ran to the toilet. I didn’t make it and had to wee through my knickers sitting on the toilet. I was so embarrassed and Dan was so calm about it, he’s like “it’s not your fault I know you’re not well.” If that’s not goals right there, ladies you’ve got the wrong guy🤷🏻♀️😂
But that was not the point. This meant I got to an all time low with my bladder😩 As I had burning for quite a few days before this I decided to take a sample in the doctors to double check no infection was present etc. I cleaned myself up threw on clothes and out the door.
I’ll be honest I’ve had other times like this, where I have been running to the toilet (you get no warning!) And it’s a little trickle before you get there. I thought that was embarrassing because I’d have to try and dry my knickers a bit before going on but this next level and a big down point for me! So glad I was at home🙏🏼
My bladder felt so heavy and I was stinging all over. They rang me back later that day and said I was all fine! So what the hell caused all this someone please tell me🤷🏻♀️
I was 21 and wet the bed...
