Funny things we've done

[angel7655]

So, I thought I would share a funny story with all of you. We all know that pop is a big no no for us. Well the other day I was craving it sooooo badly and there happened to be my husbands nice cold glass of coke on the counter. Well, it was calling to me. I couldn't help myself. So I picked up that glass and stuck my tongue in it. I just needed a taste. I didn't swallow it or anything...i just needed to taste it. Well, in walkes my husband at that exact moment with my tongue sitting in his pop. We had a good laugh, and looking back now I probably looked like some crazy lady with her tongue hanging out in a glass of pop.

Does anyone else have any crazy stories of things that IC has made them do?

That is funny!! When I cook spaghetti for the family I will taste the sauce and spit it out! Tomatoes would kill me.. They just laugh...

Sudoku puzzles in the bathroom.
Hey, they're relaxing & everything just seems to flow better.

I do crosswords and sometimes when things are bad I sit with my computer on my lap and read posts from here. At least then the time sitting is not a total waste of time.

And the heat from the computer might help with the symptoms much like a heating pad. :)

[Mothergoose]

Yes a doctor actually told me to put a heating pad on my ab and massage my ab everytime i went to go wee, i have retention as well ans IC and IBS, I thought his suggestion was good but not very pratical, I said to him I already feel like I said my whole day in the loo, I go 20 to 30 times aday approx every 20 -30 mins, more often if I am in pain. The comprimise for me is if I am sitting down I have a heating pad on my ab. If nothing else it feels good. I also use it while traveling, if find traveling make my syptoms much worse and it helps for this.

I keep a crossword book in my bathroom --- also a phone within reach.

Nothing like that comes to mind, but my 7 year-old daughter thinks it's HILARIOUS to tell people about the time mommy peed her pants in the middle of the kitchen (trying to make it to the bathroom after holding an instill in after a doctor's appt). I've told her not to tell that story, but she slips up every now and again.

A few winters ago, yes, it was cold enough here in Austin for me to keep a portable heater in the bathroom, however, I don't have an outlet near the toilet so I had to plug it up near the door, well, I was in a hurry and I got tangled in the cord - lesson learned here of course, is to make sure the cord is not in the way (wherever you have applicances) and not to trip on them.

After the first few months on the diet I was so desperate for a taste of red wine I took a sip, held it in my mouth, then spit it out in the sink. I've done is several times since. Better than nothing!

Mmm... this thread is funny. For me it would be rearranging my bedroom so that my bed was mere inches from the bathroom. The best part was all the compliments I got when people came over to my house and said that they loved the new way my furniture was arranged! Haha.

[OllieR]

I thought of something else yesterday! One time I turned my friend's toilet blue and then realized it had broken and wouldn't flush. So I got to explain why her water was blue. No, I wasn't cleaning your bathroom haha. O well, we had a good laugh about it :)

I bought a chocolate fudge shampoo that smells so good you would think you could put it on ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream and two marachino cherrys and sprinkle it with some peanuts and call it good. Seriously though, it is a great way to start the day.

Not sure if all you can appreciate this, I went to an Angles game, went to the restroom (mens) where the trough was and you should have seen the looks I got. I laughed so hard that I almost made a big mess.

ummm... hmmm... how about the bathroom dreams. I mean, OMG, talk about torture... where the ONLY bathroom to be had is a toilet sitting in the middle of a ballroom with people watching... I have had SO MANY bathroom dreams... it's just ridiculous.

Also.. I confess to having a stack of catalogs in my bathroom, as well as Victoria Magazine.. and, of course, whatever vampire or fairy book I happen to be reading.

[Mothergoose]

I know what you mean about the bathroom dreams, when I do finally wake from it I really need to pee, but find other that I can't go, I am sure this is from my retention issues, if I have to wait to go then I have more problems.

Do we dream these stupid bathroom dreams because we have urinary problems or because we need to go and it is our bodies way of telling us. I get them frequently

Have a good day MG

[bruegelfan]

That's too strange. I have really funky bathroom dream too.....

[OllieR]

Yes! The dreams! Or should I say nightmares? Usually in mine though there is no bathroom to be found. Other disturbing nightmares I have from pain where horrifying things happen to me and they are what's causing my pain, not IC. Anyways, it kind of makes me wonder why my sub conscience thinks of such disturbing things lol. I want to write a horror novel though. If I could get rich from IC it would be the ultimate win!

[Sunflower23]

When I was first diagnosed with IC I was sooooo paranoid about UTIs that I would use oodles of toilet paper. My best friends at the time had a toilet that didn't really flush very well and I think I must have clogged or overflowed their toilet about 15 times!

I finally got so embarrased I starting flushing in increments. For months I had nightmares about toilets overflowing. ;-)

This one is good. Thanks for sharing your "blue" story. --Nickie
