RADAR Toilets/keys

Brassedoff

KxMx & Two4Tuesday, read what I have said, you make it sound as if i had suggested I bumped into you in that queue?

Read what I said. There were a fair few young people, ladies going into THAT toilet in threes or twos and a young man and girl (hazard a guess they were not lending each other a hand). They were using it for their own convenience of not using the regular ones. Not because they were disabled! How did I jump to this conclusion? Well, as I wheeled up (yes Two4Tuesday, I use a wheelchair and therefore find it impossible to be "ignorant as most able bodied people" and have to use tubes and pipes in the loo!) and not one person objected to letting me and my wheelchair jump the mini queue. If, for example there was someone who genuinely needed to use it, do you think they would have said "hold on, I need to use the disabled toilet"?

My point is that establishments, should, like blue badge spaces have a responsibility in ensuring the facilities for the disabled are only used by the disabled. The bouncer only had to ask, are you supposed to use this place to have been sufficient dissuade wrongful use? Do you agree?

My observation stands in some of the pubs I have visited in my city, young lads and girls using the disabled toilet as it was quicker than walking all the way to the regular ones. Tut, tut ;-)

Hi OP,

Can I suggest if you are in that position, you go to the docs and ask for further tests. You need referring to a urologist. They have a series of tests they need to put you through.

I went through what you described over a year ago and you definitely need to have some urodynamic tests done to check why it's (the sphincter) is doing it. There are other tests such as bladder inflation, nerve conduction right through to a possible cystoscopy.

I cannot stress the importance. Us wheelies especially have some issues they need to sort that the neurosurgery team do not look for or pick up.

PM me if you want to know more, but please get the metaphoric foot put down demanding the referral as you are in the early stages of your incontinence issues.

I have had a lot more going on as my 'leaking' as I call it has been with me for 18 months. Earlier this year I needed emergency catheterisation. I have also been called back to my GP in the next few days in connection with (as the girl said who called to make the apt) urological issues. So after next week I will know some more.

Overall I have had so many things go wrong with me over the past year'ish I am utterly fed up with Hospitals, consultants, GP's, nurses, blood tests. They all mean well but I was hoping for a break from it all this year but it was mot meant to be and only a few weeks ago the GP was in my house within a few minutes of my wife calling (they are only a few hundred yards away) as they suspected I was having a stroke.

Not moaning but like many of us on the forum there is often a lot more to it. Thanks for your offer of help but I will see what my GP has to say and take matters from there
