I have been unable to maintain a stiff biscuit for the last week. It all happened rather suddenly. The only think I can think that it would be is stress or these stomach aid tablets I’ve been taking. I started with the stomach pills about two months ago to ease my often upset stomach. I am finding sites saying that ranitidine can cause impotence but I am having trouble finding anything with more information. Most of the sites just list impotence under the side effects and do not elaborate.

I also Just went steady with my girl about the time it started and I’m kind of nervous about it, not sure if I’m ready. This is what makes me think it could be stress or a psychological issue (i’ve had a very rough past)

This is all so sudden and unbelievable. It has always worked perfectly! Hell, it worked when I don’t want it to work even! Now I can’t get it to do hardly anything. I’m 28, 160lbs, physically active, moderate smoking and drinking (I’d say about average for someone my age), fair to poor diet. Med history includes kidney stones, undescended testicle, depression, ADHD.

HELP!!

When I was in school we had a certain amount of bathroom passes in our school handbook. Only about 25 passes. The teachers did not always have to grant them or you would have to solve a tough algebra equation before you could go urinate even though all you could think about was relieving yourself. Once you used up those passes a student would have to spend .00 to purchase another handbook to use the restroom therefore the school made money off the students’ natural bodily functions.

I work at a grocery store and I was about an hour into my shift when I went to urinate and before I entered the bathroom door they paged me up to the front end in an angry tone. I use the restroom about three times during an 8 hour shift usually taking no more than 5 minutes. I always do my job. I don’t slack off. I used the restroom and went back to working. The boss lady got up in my face and demanded my whereabouts. She told me if I ever leave the front end again I better tell someone I am going to the restroom but it implied that they could deny my restroom use if they decided it was too busy on the front end. They get mad at cashiers too for having to use the restroom. What if a woman is on her period? Due to my overactive bladder and side of effects of my medications I need to use the restroom as needed. One of my medications has caffiene in it. I have indigestion and heartburn at times. Some meds have side effects of difficulty urinating, diarrhea, constipation, upset stomach, etc. I was on medication for overactive bladder but the doctor took me off of it because it was causing faintness. I also have history of having a kidney stone. I have no choice now but to get my doctor to write an excuse. Do they have to honor this doctor’s excuse? Could I lose my job over this or using the restroom? Working in the food business it is good to keep good hygiene and sanitation and wash your hands often. This is encouraged and this is another reason an employee would have to quickly use the restroom.
