I have had severe diarrhea(6-7times A day) for over 8 years. I ruined the carpeting in my bedroom. I do not have pain but I also only have like 5 seconds to get to BR. This condition has ruined my life. I am so frustrated, angry and depressed. It is demoralizing, embarrassing, devastating. I have finally asked God every day to take me home as I cannot deal with it anymore. I can't go shopping, visiting, traveling. I even don't like to go to meals in the dining room as I never know when I will get"the call". I have to sleep in my bed with mattress protectors and Chucks, even though I use puppy pads. My PA is very understanding and wants me to get better but I am not getting better. However using Lomotil and a steroid medication at night I have been making it to the BR without an accident for about a week. I thought I should join a group that has similar problems so I can vent, get advice, and learn more about this devastating issue. I hate this! Just hate it!
