@ToidyMat You're very welcome!

@LIncontinence Caregivers everywhere can benefit from the information in this, thank you for posting it.

NEW BLOG. I have finally updated my blog and this month I am talking about Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS). I discuss what it is and what some of the benefits and concerns of the treatment are. Check it out: livelifewithincontinence.com/post/let-s-get… #incontinence #ptns #positivity

What does coffee, grapefruit juice and alcohol have in common? They’re all potential bladder irritants! These drinks can irritate your bladder- consider eating whole fruits instead of juiced versions &reduce your alcohol intake. Have you discovered any other #bladder irritants?

If you have an in-dwelling catheter remember to empty the drainage bag at least every eight hours or whenever the bag is full. #BladderSupport #LivingPositively #Catheter

We have officially launched the Interstitial Cystitis / Bladder Pain Syndrome Support Group. If you have been diagnosed with IC please join the group for advice, support and a safe space to talk about the condition: bit.ly/35gbCEH

Catheterisation is an invasive procedure that can have a negative impact on a patient’s life. This paper looks at raising awareness of catheter valves, as a cost-effective, alternative drainage system to leg bags, and working in partnership with patients. ucc-today.com/journals/issue…

@AllAboutFU That will absolutely not be the case but there is so much stigma around talking about this. Putting information out there and talking about our own experiences will hopefully encourage others to do the same.

@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

Do you suffer from bladder leakage? Here’s a tip from urogynecologist @DrSwenson13 on how to strengthen your pelvic floor: “Twice a day, when you’re brushing your teeth, do a set of kegels.” ow.ly/u6eq50zpWVM #urinaryincontinence #kegels #bladderleakage

Millions of us women are likely to leak at some point in our lives, I wholeheartedly suggest adding this to your reading list. An honest account of one woman's experiences of urinary incontinence. A good girl-guide is always prepared! 😉 #thelasttaboo #urinaryincontinence

@pharma_john thank you for following.

If you work in #health #research or even basic research that you hope to develop for #patient benefit, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do engage with your #AHSN. @WessexAHSN have been utterly fantastic at supporting my urology research: access to PPI, facilitating engagement with...

@AllAboutFU That sounds like it would be really useful. Please let me know if you have anything you'd like to collaborate on. I feel like there's a gap in useful info available for sufferers.

@ToidyMat @mumfromthediff Glad you like it. :)
