Posted by Michelle King on 23/11/2006, 12:29 pm, in reply to "Re: Calling all females!" With regards to the ipod, I think this sounds like an interesting idea. Actually this morning I was thinking about my condition and felt the urge to wee come on. I started trying to evaluate how strong that urge was so that I could try putting into practice the idea of only going at a certain level of urgency. What I found, in fact, that personally for me, if I am in a situation where I feel I will have problems passing urine, the actual feeling of needing to go is different to when I am in my home environment. I am not sure this is a common feeling or just me over-analyzing but if I am out, I get more of a 'bursting bladder' uncomfortable feeling than an 'about to wet myself feeling'. Does this make sense. I suppose it comes from the abdomen rather than the urethra area. When I think about, it would probably be quite nice to have the 'about to wet myself' feeling when I am out as when it gets to this point it is almost impossible not to go (at home anyway). Could it be that the urine is not even making it out of the bladder when we are suffering this condition? Also, after thinking about this for a long time this morning, I finally made it up the stairs to the loo and found myself unable to go which is very strange when at home (although not unknown for me.) I remembered reading something about when you are talking to someone, it switches the focus to the other side of the brain. I had no-one to talk to so I started singing and lo and behold I managed go without even properly realising that I had starting to wee. I figure, even in public toilets I could probably get away with whispering a song so will give this a go next time and let you all know what happens! Many thanks for all responses Michelle
