I don't know if my hoarder problem is related to my cerebral palsy or not so I thought I should was for help here.

I use to not have bathroom problems at all but once I was somewhere between 12 and 14 years old I began having trouble pooping and have to pee almost every hour and little comes out. I never have to go during the night though. I want it to be back to the way it used to be. Should I mention it to my doctor and be concerned about this I have dealt with this since that time it began but I seem to need to go more often than I use to. I have never told anyone about the problem but wish I could figer out the problem and possible stop the problem.

HELP

I would talk to the Doctors you see relating to your CP. Our digestive and renal systems are subject to the same problems our other muscles are. Also some of the meds we take might make you have to pee more. Lastly, if we have a lot of spasms our bodies burn more energy causes us to process more water. I understand what you are talking about, when I was about the same age I realized I had to pee way more than average guys. The thing that sounds most concerning is that when you go, you aren't producing much pee; so the problem probably is either you are getting the urge to go too often from spams, or possibly not completely emptying your bladder for some reason (chicken or the egg scenario).

The constipation/irregularity happens to me too; to be honest, when it does, I light up some MMJ right when I am on the toilet - it has an almost instantaneous "relaxing" response to my digestive system.

MMJ = Medical Marijuana

Strains which are high in "CBD" content have been proven effective on many spasm and seizure conditions.
