Hi all

Can you tell me please if others have this;

If I NEED the bathroom then my legs and arms get worse so it becomes harder and slower to get to the bathroom....what a cruel thing!

iF I try and hold on to needing to pee which isnt long... then its not unusal to find myself needing a poo as well [sorry its personal]

Personal ;I just dont seem to be able to squeeze when needing a poo I CAN FEEL IT THERE but i cant go till its ready type thing. I do take medication for constipation etc. Sometimes I feel exhausted just from pooing.

If I use my arms too much and that being too much can vary then my legs get slower and vice versa can be something like changing the duvet or using a dustpan and brush that sets things in motion to get worse.

Bending over definately makes things worse ie slower I then feel tireder

If I CONTINUE BEYOND FEELING worse either legs or ams then pain kicks in like the back and neck and the legs and arms.

If I get too cold I SHiver , teeth chatter really out of proprtion etc.

When feeling worse my bladder gets worse more frequent and/or hesitantcy.

Guess I am asking do others experience these things and how do you cope etc. Is it just a case of having to slow down rest ect. But somethines even rest doesnt do it I still feel heavy weak etc.

Sorry about some of the more personal issues. pLEASE DONT JUST READ THIS GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK!!
