Story
Thankyou for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
In august 2019 i developed a water infection what spread up into my kidneys. I then developed symptoms of a underactive bladder. I was not able to pass urine myself as for i had to wear a fixed catheter.
After time and time again and lots of investigations and also scans it became unkown for why all this happened.
I have now got a underactive bladder, an oversized bladder, reccurent bladder infections, no sensations in the bladder. I also have to self cathetarise.
I also struggle with my bowels, as for when i get a bladder infection i go into full retention so my bladder pushes down on my bowels and i unable to pass and become constipated.
As for me it is a long term condition over the past 1 year and a bit i have visited the hospital nearly every month and also have had 4 hospital admissions.
I am under consultation at the urology department at the hallamshire hospital, i am waiting to go under a life changing opperation. This is called a sacral nerve stimulation, this sends signals to the brain down to the bladder when to empty my bladder as i have no sensations this means i dont not know when i need to pass urine and i dont get the feeling that people have when you need to pass urine.
Overall this last year and a bit has been hell and will be for other people just like me! People do not know what exact pain and stress you go through and things you loose having this medical condition.
This is very close to my heart. This is the reason im going to push my body to the limits and beyond to do this challenge.
I would love to spread awarness about this as it is an unkown medical condition and people just like me are going through the exact pain and stress this puts you under.
Any ammount of money would be appreciated!
