Incontinent at Thirty

Great article, and something that isn't discussed enough. theguardian.com/society/2022/n…

@NewUNottingham Thanks, but it's not a muscular issue.

@IncontinentAt30 Have a look at the EMsella chair it might really help

Just been told that I might have to wait another seven months to be assessed for TAI - it's already been six months! And apparently, I'm on the priority list. I hate to think how long it would take for someone not deemed a priority.

Very impresssive! Just goes to show that bowel problems don't mean you have to give up on your goals. bristolpost.co.uk/news/real-life…

@MyPuraUK , @NappiCycle , @BristolCouncil - will you expand the nappy recycling trial (tinyurl.com/25vjk63t) to include adult incontinence waste?

@ColostomyUK Definitely! Should this really be a question?

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan… Men are being left high and dry when it comes to public toilets reckons Jonathan Hall, who has incontinence issues. Men with #stomas are faced with the same problem. Do you think sanitary bins should be installed in mens' toilets?

Quite frankly, it's ridiculous that this just doesn't happen already.

@MarvinJRees I think you'll find that Bristolians voted to scap the Mayor's Office. How can a spending money on a poet be more important than reopening public toilets? bristolpost.co.uk/news/local-new…

@ForestryEngland @ChangingPlaceUK Fab, thanks!

@IncontinentAt30 @ChangingPlaceUK Hi there, thanks for letting us know. We'll make sure this gets passed on to the local team so they can look into it!

@ForestryEngland @ChangingPlaceUK, the Changing Places toilet at Cannop Cycle Centre has a dodgy lock - the handle is very reluctant to stay in the locked position. Not ideal!

Has anyone else found that Imodium has stopped working after long-term use? #ibs #Diarrhoea

Mayo Clinic researchers have found new evidence linking the millions of bacteria residing in our digestive systems, known as the microbiome, to a network of factors that drive irritable bowel syndrome, #IBS. Learn more: mayocl.in/3t2LPio

@nationaltrust How on earth do you get into your disabled toilet at Baggy Point? Won't push open, no handle to pull, no Radar key lock - in fact, no obvious lock at all... but still the door won't open?

I'm convinced that the brief of the designers of all loo roll holders for public toilets is to make it as difficult as possible for anyone to extract toilet roll from them.

Good article in the Guardian today about the lack of public toilets: theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

I really get this - I'm highly active, work, and am a trustee of two charities, and whilst I technically count as disabled, claiming that I am often feels a bit wrong (regardless of what my consultant says!). theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@AllAboutFU @LIncontinence My consultant tells me that FI in males is extremely unusual. She's discussed SNS, but the conclusion was that it's probably not right for me - I do too many sports where there would be a high chance of impact on the implant site, and I'm not willing to give those up.

@LIncontinence Yes absolutely, that's why I spent so long pounding my keyboard writing my blog as nobody talks about FU / FI, especially males. As far as I know I'm the only male who has had SNS for FU and it will be two years in Nov since I had the op.

After a stressful year, I am back to blogging. Website has been updated. Please check it out and let me know what you think: livelifewithincontinence.com #incontinence #positivity #fecalincontinence #urinaryincontinence
