I am literaly flying tommorow on a 10 to 12 hour trip and last week i went to the doctor asking about catheters and due to her lack of knowledge for paruresis she advised against it saying that if my urge was so severe my body would just choose to wet itself, i know as a paruretic that this isnt true and that you are just severely uncomfortable for a long time until you find 'comfort'
looking at some of the answers it seems that some people use and recomend catheters, and my thought would be that just having a 'get out clause' would have allowed me to go freely' too late now thanks to a doctor that just didnt understand.
Planes however if i relax enough i don't find impossible and can just about go, last time i used valium (prescribed by the doctor) and this relaxed me to the point where i could go (and the discomfort only came towards the end of the flight). (man and that feeling of needing to go when you dont need to is a killer){and it really does put you in a bad mood if you cant wee, and when you eventually manage it, it is instant relief and an instant good mood. So i suppose i recommend valium just to chill out a bit.
But when i get back or get to my destination i am gonna try and convince a doctor to give me a catheter as this seems the best way as you know in the worst case scenario if you cant wee at least you can get it out by the catheter.
i remember being on a six hour coach ride in mexico and needing the loo from the beginning, and if planes are difficult coaches are impossible, what i would have done for a catheter then!!!
ok guys wish me luck for tommorow
