LOL - thanks for starting this topic Lesley - makes us all feel "normal".

Once when I was out for a walk the urgency hit big time - fortunately I was not too far from my house, but the pressure kept building - made it to the bathroom and got my drawers down - but before I could make it onto the "throne" the s**t was flying - took me a long time to clean up the mess. I think that's when I decided I HAD TO get things under control, and got real serious about finding a treatment for this life altering disease!!!

Anyhow, I'm so sorry you're still struggling so much, but I'm confident that with your tenacity you'll be able to get to more consistent symptoms relief.

Love,
Kari

Don't quite know what to think about that, Joan. "Not that there is anything wrong with that."

LOL, Joan.

I was too busy looking at her lip redo to stare at her panty line.

Not very "charitable" to say she doesn't need them, and I agree with Marliss.

It;s such a relief to talk about this here. Makes a difference that you can say these things and will be understood.

Lesley,
Sorry to here you had a rough day. I agree it helps to have people you can laugh with and cry with. Thanks for the ice cream recipe. I had an ice cream maker that I bought from qvc and never used it and got rid of it before we moved to Florida. Figures huh? May have to pick up another. I hope you have a restful evening.

Take care,
Sondra

I bought a refurbished one from overstock. It was VERY cheap. Best thing I did since this started.

Lesley,

I can totally relate to the accident while walking. FOr me walking always stimulates the urge to go, so now I plan for it. I try to start my walk by staying close to home or where I will be near a restroom. I used to stop in Ace Harware frequently but I think they were getting suspicious of my trips in there when I didn't buy anything.

I came online this morning feeling really "crappy". After 10 months+- with no D, it came back big time. Didn't make it to the bathroom and the puppy thought the whole episode was really fun. Try keeping a small dog out of the poop!!!

Thank you for the laughs. I wasn't feeling at all happy when I sat down at the computer.

BTW, at the very start of my MC symptoms I was in Italy in the Rome train station when I knew the D was coming. They only have pay toilets and I didn't have the correct change in euros. The attendant wouldn't or couldn't give me change and, yup, I went in my pants. Thank God I had on slacks. Had to slog around trying not to cause an avalanche while I got the correct change. I had to leave my underwear in the waste basket. The bad old days.

Mary Beth - I couldn't care less if a store finds it weird that I stop in without buying stuff. I gotta go, I gotta go! Let them try to stop me at their peril.

Sheila - sorry you're in a flare, but you story about the puppy made me laugh, and I am not in a laughing mood today.
I buy packets of the cheapest underwear, because I often have to leave it! I left this last one. Yuk! Wash that much poop out of a 70 cent pair of underwear?

One of my latest incidents was last May when my riding lawn mower and I went down an embankment and I got my foot trapped on the mower deck. Mower was wedged between a culvert and the creek side. That was a blessing as it could not roll. I called for help from a passing pickup. The young man came over and tried to lift the mower but it was way to heavy for one man and I was in a lot of pain. I had also soiled myself while waiting for help. I apologized to the guy for the mess but he said I had a good reason for messing my pants :) After the rescue squad got my foot splinted and me up and out of the ditch I took my first ambulance ride to town 10 miles away. There I lay, a mess. Didn't get to take a shower until after all the x-rays were taken and the doctor got me all taken care of. No one even commented on the smell in the room believe it or not. They were so good to me. Had some smashed skin on my ankle to deal with and a very sore foot most of the month but no cuts or broken bones so I was very thankful.

Oh Nancy!! You win. That is definitely with worst/best "pooped my pants" story I've heard so far. You weren't seriously hurt and that is most important. It is nice to know that good Samaritans are still around and our rescue squads don't mind poopy patients.

Fortunately, most of us have learned to laugh at ourselves and the awful situations we have found ourselves in. Trying to keep my puppy, Rosie, out of my pj's while I tried to get them off and not slide off the toilet seat was so ridiculous, I had to laugh. Only a dog would think a mess like that was fun.

Wow Nancy! You one upped all of us. I echo Sheila! Glad you weren't hurt and that people were kind!

Wow...a group that actually understands and can "top" a crazy accident story! My kind of people! At least we know we are not alone huh? I always wore a depends initially for walks or even longer drives...it notched my anxiety level down some. I think I'm lucky though because my walks allowed me duck into the trees or scrub oak and be somewhat "invisible"..waiting for an elevator would be brutal..I'm sending healing thoughts your way

I am so glad I found this subject on here, because I had wanted to ask if anyone else had problems with "poopy pants" ! !
Several times now I have been walking around the lake near my neighborhood. It's horrifying to feel it coming on when there is absolutely nothing I can do to stop it. Any, ok, I'll be frank, my poops are gigantic due to a "redundant colon". The first time it happened I thought I would just keep walking (fast) to where I knew there was a bathroom - about 10 minutes away. This was my first experience, so I foolishly thought I could get there. Well, somehow I did get there, but the bathroom was locked! So I turned around and ran back to my car - took about 15 minutes. I just kept praying over "just let me get to the car, just let me get to the car, just let me get to the car!" I did make it to the car, but just before I got it unlocked, the poop decided to come out, and I had to sit in it while driving home. Then I bolted up three flights of stairs because I was afraid to take the elevator in case there was someone else in it. I never flew up stairs so fast in my life - it's like I was possessed by some Olympic athlete.

Other times I have what I call the "slow leak", which is soft poop in smaller amounts that just show up unexpected (and uninvited) and I don't even know it's there til I see it. Disgusting!

Anyway, thanks to everyone who has the courage to post about this. I'm so glad I'm not the only one - not that I want you all to have this too, but you know, misery loves company!
