How does that effect you, not just physically, but the mentality of it. I have an overactive bladder, which means I can go to the toilet up to 20 times a day. The bathroom rules my life, I can't imagine having the urge to go, but not being able to. How does it feel when you've had the dialysis?

Edit: Just to say I know how it feels to need to go but not a lot come out, it's one of the bladder things. I mean how would it feel for nothing to come out, and knowing that you wouldn't be able to have a full stream.

Go to your doctor. I find that sometimes I can go and it's like I haven't been for an hour, although I let out a full load five minutes ago. There is also a small chance that a bit of pee comes out when I'm not expecting it, I don't full on wet myself, but still it's not pleasant. (Or fun to admit.)

Part of it is nice as it's been diagnosed, I'm not just crazy or have a weak bladder. There are tablets you can try but I'm going back to my gp to try something else as I found they didn't work and made me dizzy.

The bathroom shouldn't rule your like either. Get it checked out.

What are your opinions on Lili Elbe and their attempts back then? Do you think it paved the foundation for the procedure now or was it a futile attempt and only through other transplants that it could be attempted again?
