Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 For approximately 2 years now, I have been struggling more & more with my bowel & bladder control. I’m a 44 year old mom, with one teenage son who also has CMT. Since September 2001, I began to wearing adult pads (diapers), due to the loss of warning(sensation) & weak muscle with my bladder. Only occasional accidents with bowel sensory, muscle weakness was less of a problem. As of December 2001 bowel strength & sensation has several decreased. I now experience extreme pain in my abdomen, lower back, as well as hot fever sweet till the bowel movement exists. This can take anywhere from 10 to 45 mins. I no longer eat out with friends nor family. My outings must be scheduled around my meals & restroom. My doctor has recognized that I now have zero muscle in my colon. So he is sending me to see a few specialist, regarding this matter. We have discussed the matter of a colostomy. My question; I would like to ask is, has anyone else with CMT, come across these issues?? Has anyone had a colostomy operation done?? If so, how is your quality of life now? Thanks for your time.
