Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Happy New Year! Has anyone been on a long road trip? My husband and I are leaving for land on thursday, to visit our daughter and her family. Our 4 yr old granddaughter does not know we are coming! What a surprise! I am concerned about the pain in my legs as we travel, and the incontinence. My legs I can strech out I have a bed in the back of the van, but I also get car sick even at 61??? Too many dilemas. The incontinence can come on so suddenly and at that point it is painful and I have to let it burst. Has anyone tried any products that might help i.e. rubber pants Does anyone take water pills for the swelling? I am afraid of them. I am so excited to get away!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Anne There is a product called a woman's urinal. It is neat I use it on road trips. I also wear the inconstancy pants. Depends works well. they hold a lot of accidents. Jim and I go on road trips all the time. Although I worry about the same things as you it seems I worry more than I need to. Stopping at rest stops and gas stations helps. He doesn't care he understands.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hi Anne, What a good idea - your coming to visit will be a great surprise to your little Granddaughter! Like you, I have a lot of trouble traveling.........incontinence and leg pain also. I keep diapers (made for wearing while you sleep) on hand and they do help..........but, like you, when I have to go, I do not have much notice and I hurt terribly. And it seems like we are NEVER near a station or a rest station! :-) What I do is ask hubby to stop every so often and I go and use the restroom even if I do not feel like I need to. That seems to help a lot. As for the "water pills"--------I take one each day, but.........NEVER when I am traveling -- because I cannot never hold my urine when I take those pills! I have a lot of trouble with swelling in my ankles, legs, and hands, so I do have to take those pills, but NOT when traveling. Have a wonderful trip and hug and kiss that little precious one. It will also help to stop and walk around the vehicle a little bit at least each hour. It only takes a couple of minutes and it does make a lot of difference. It helps with the pain as well as the swelling. Hope this helps. Have a safe and happy trip. Hugs, Darlene NS Co-Owner/Moderator Re: Road Trip? ..

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Anne,I don't have any remedies for your trip, except that I don't recommend taking the water pills while travelling. Hope you have the best time with your family. I live in land. It's around 25-30 degrees right now, and I anticipate it staying around this temp for a week. I live in Columbia, land. If you are close, we can have lunch.Naa Koshie "How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Darlene, Do you see below where it says CHATROOM LINK, then it says http://www.sarcbudd ies.com/chat? you need to close the break between d and ies and remove the /chat then is should work. Does that make better sense? I hope so, let me know if not. Thank you so very much, Marla NS CHAT:- FAITH CHAT: SUNDAY 4PM-5PM EASTERN TIME CHATROOM LINK: http://www.sarcbudd ies.com/chat Message Archives:-http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/Neurosarco idosis/messagesMembers Database:- Listings of locations, phone numbers, and instant messengers.http://groups. yahoo.com/ group/Neurosarco idosis/database Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
