Well there sure as hell ain't no peeing community. So you may as well post it here and see who comes up with the best answer. Various things can make us feel like we want to pee. Any kind of a chill / draft, cold weather or simply anxiety. Call it mild anxiety. It may be just another symptom. But I would take that over what your life used to be like. You have done good to get as far as you have got. You can be so proud of yourself. I would give the peeing thing some time. Maybe a week or two. If it is still there maybe a visit to the doctor to see what he has to say. You never had a weak bladder before? Might even be a side effect of the medication. Might pass once the medication settles within you.

Hiya it sounds as if you may have something called Cistitus (spelt wrong i'm sure), it is a bladder infection that causes the exact symptoms you describe.  You can buy over the counter med's for it from the chemist as a powder type med or if this has no effect i'm sure a short course of anti-biotics will clear it up in no time.

Always said Julie was a good p!ss artist. LOL. No No. Just kidding my dear.

[Julie359]

LOL....tsk tsk I should wash your mouth out with some of that irish whiskey you like so much hahaha

Lol yes I know theres not a peeing community lol there should at least be a bladder problem one lol.... Well its been the same even before taking the meds... December 4th 09 is when I got my FIRST UTI and ever since then my bladder has not been the same... Its like I cant sit... and having 2 be in school for 8 hours.... OMG not fun and the teachers wont let you go 2 the bath room at all and thats just not right....

[MrGreen]

But if you have a bladder problem and can produce a note from a doctor the teachers would be bound to let you use the bathroom when needed. It is medical after all. Just food for thought.

[JESSiCA_LyNN132]

I do have a doctor's note and they STILL dont let me go.... This school is soooo messed up!!! Its crazy... They tell me go in between class I cant do my stuff in 3 mins.... Its stupid!!!!!!!

[MrGreen]

Claim damages off them for making your condition worse. Or pretend that is you intention. Let it leak out so it gets back to them. They will probably give you a golden loo all for yourself.

[JESSiCA_LyNN132]

HA HA HA!!! I should do that.... But the Teacher's tell us we can't go 2 the bathroom so ya'll can't go... And It's stupid you can't go from like the 300 hall 2 the 100 hall drop your stuff off then go 2 the bathroom and back in 3 min... The we get counted as tardy... Or get out card signed... My mom has called the school and said look you needa let my daughter go 2 the bathroom when she need's 2 go... holding it in does not help what she has... And then they say I use that doctor's note just 2 get out of class... >.<

[MrGreen]

Would they be so smart if you peed in their seats? Or right before their eyes. Claiming that you told them so. That they just wouldn't listen. I mean a doctor's note to get out of class. It would all take you a few minutes. Not like you would miss the whole class. I would produce a serious medical document claiming the problem is getting worse because you are been forced to hold it in. Put them on the spot. Is there anything like a school magazine? A little article in it. Make a lot of noise and they are bound to listen.

[JESSiCA_LyNN132]

Lol... And like I dont ask 2 go when they are teaching I wait til we are doing our work so I wont miss anything... Oh my mom will because it IS getting worse because THEY are makin me wait 75 min because thats how long our classes are... But there has been one time where I had 2 GO and she would not let me go and I could not stay still and I was about 2 pee my pants and I just got up and left because I was not about 2 wait another 20 min til class was over.... I just don't understand as long as the Teacher is not up in front of the class teaching and we are just sitting at our desk doing work whats the big deal... Its not like im skipping class Im just fed up with it.... But I will talk 2 my mom about makin it a big deal lol....

[MrGreen]

You are doing the right thing. Joke as we may about it. An issue must be made out of it. In order for them to take you serious and accept you have a condition that can't be allowed get any worse than it already is. Get your mum to threaten to contact the state educational board and make a big fuss over it if they don't listen. That she will not give in. And you don't give in either. If you have to go, get up and be nice about it, and let them know you have to go, and leave the room. At worse they can suspend you. But such a serious issue they should have long since accepted. They are long classes.

Hi, I'm new on this forum. Just to add my two cents worth re the bladder problem. When you have a UTI and the doc treats it with meds they generally don't do a culture first and just use a generalized antibiotic. Often thats enough to get rid of the problem but sometimes not. Bacteria stay behind and cause irritation to the bladder especially when your immune system is low or you're stressed. If you suspect you're still dealing with the remnants of a previous UTI you can ask your doctor to do a culture so they can determine the correct antibiotic to take care of it.
On the other hand I know from personal experience that when I'm very anxious my bladder spasms and it causes the symptoms you mention. I've used a product that relieves bladders spasms and it helps. If there's burning when you go to the loo then it's definately an infections situation. Hope this helps :o)

[JESSiCA_LyNN132]

GREAT NEWS!!!!!! My mom went crazy on them...She was like you NEED to let my daughter go when she needs to go she is NOT using the Drs note to get out of class she is an A B student why would she want to skip class... Has she ever skipped classes before I think NOT!.... So you better let her go because ya'll are makin her UTI worse and that's not good unless you wanna pay the med bills if something happed to her then you best let her go... : ) Im proud of my Mommy.... So no they are lettin me go and just from these 3 days I feel like its gone I can sit still and EVERYTHING Im so happy : ) lol....

[JESSiCA_LyNN132]

Well Hey there and welcome!!! : )
Yes my dr did give me meds and they are helping but what makes them work is she said I HAVE to push water and drink it 24/7 to flush it out... On the other hand pushing all that water your gonna have to go to the bath room ALOT... And if you hold it its just going to make it worse so make sure you go and don't hold it... But of course the stupid teachers!!!!!  But the one thing is is it does not burn so I guess thats a good thing lol

[MrGreen]

Fair play to you and your mother. You made the right move. Now you can go when you want you probably won't want to go at all. You will get more relaxed about it all. It won't be as much of a worry to you. It is great news. Well done you.

[JESSiCA_LyNN132]

Thank You So Much : ) and see after 2 days... I was MUCH better! and now Im fine whooo hoo : )

[MrGreen]

Way to go girl. Good on you.
