Yes, I also remember his incontinence trousers.
I have seen him quite a few times and he always reduced me to tears. One concert we went to we were sitting in the front row. Not a good place to be

In 1991 we were at Cropredy Reunion and he appeared un-announced on the Stage
too much swearing but the whole field fell silent!
Gosh SuziQ that's a meander, sorry
- but brings me back to toilet issues - after he left the Stage, 45 mins. later, the queues to the portables were very very long

Thanks girls
sounds to me Im normal no pain no blood stool normal just loose bowels and an inability to clean up 100%
Im not constipated anymore but if I dont go for say 2 days which does happen its liike having a baby
And when it comes out it looks normal. My cousins just been diagnosed with Lazy bowels shed had it all her life
So unless pain blood or incontinence or sumat sticks out of me rear end I will soldier on seems Im not alone xxx

SuziQ - think about your diet over 48 hours plus any thing you use to help constipation etc.; then cut out - get back to basics and see how your bowel reacts. I find when I don't take my AD and betablocka at night, by the next afternoon I have had a good result.

I could have written this. My first peri symptom & I googled it too &
Got no where. It gets really sore doesn't it. I used to wonder why they sold bottom wipes before I got to 50 & all those bidets make sense now. I have to have a shower if I leave things I struggle to walk it gets so sore. I've considered it hormonal due to the timing, some days are worse than others like you say. Just another thing to add to the list of ailments. Being away from
Home for the day could be difficult if it happened. Acid bum

I recommend Sudocrem . It soothes my bottom as brilliantly as a baby's and you can now get tubes to pop in your handbag.
