Lardman,
Sorry, but that is quite funny!  I wonder what those dogs would have thought. LOL Too funny! I know that any sensation down there is a scary thing. I went out to dinner last night, and most of the time, I am fine. I don't suffer from cramps, and only occasional urgency. Most of the time, I don't have any sensations, but when I do and I am at home, I don't bother with it, and it passes. Last night, at dinner, I suddenly felt windy or gassy, but I wasn't sure, if you know what I mean.  LOL
So, I excused myself and went to the john and it was nothing, as I figured it was. Sometimes we freak ourselves out for nothing. That is where the anxiety comes in. I have noticed, mine is worse in the AM, if I am going to have it at all that day. Once, I get on the road, and stay out for the day, and prove to myself I am fine, I don't give it a second thought the rest of the day. It really is a mind game. The cd's have helped me so much.
What I meant by playing with the urgency at home, is it kind of gives you a sense of control. If I feel a sensation, I will let it be for awhile, and most times it passes. If I feel the need to go, I don't hurry. I have tried to train my bowels to wait on me, instead of the other way around. I even have pet names for them on any given day. Now, that is sick!
By, the way, that was a very rude comment your doc made. I don't even deal with a******* anymore. I just turn around and walk out the door and tell the doc, I don't need your kind of help. I speak my mind, because if you don't, sometimes they play GOD, and I hate that. I am paying them, after all, so they will agree to work with me, not dictate to me, or I am out the door. I don't care much for docs.
