Having recently (in the last year) become seriously incontinent of urine I fear my bowels might now be going the same way. I hope the hell not. Unlike wetting I really dont get off on that at all. Its just that over the last few months I have had 5 or 6 instances of having to get to the toilet within a few seconds or soiling myself (not yer usual chronic stomach upset) and in fact failed on 3 occasions now. I also feel like my back passage is not able to squeeze as powerfully as it used to or for as long as it should and I feel obliged to go at the earliest indication of a need. Could this be connected with my developing urinary incontinence anybody know, if so, through what mechanism?

Thanks ladydocisin, sure you could well be right. Still waiting the neurologist's report on some tests but will specifically query those suggestions with him.

If it is neuropathy, the neurologist should be able to pick it up fairly readily, especially if you tell him you are diabetic. Here in the US, there are meds that can delay the onset of loss of sensation and meds that can help alleviate the pain caused by neuropathy. The most important thing is to keep a tight rein on your blood glucose to prevent any further damage.
