I read your thread with interest and i have to say reading your thread was in a way a godsend, and NO i,m not some wacko who,s into wearing diapers!
All my life i have had no feeling at all, in fact when i was a child my father took me to many doctors due to my wetting myself, my mother tried to hep me as best as she could but she coukdn,t protect me from the cruel nasty comments from my peers, because my father was in the armed services i was taken to a military doctor who informed my father i was "A lazy child!" so everytime i had an accident i gota smack, i don,t blame my father, i blame the very peope who should have helped me, the doctor! i used to walk round with two bags one for wet underwear the other for clean underwear, no one did any tests on me to find out why this was happerning to me, well i went most of my life without anyone knowing my secret, to cut a long story short a very kind doctor examined me one day and asked me how long had i been incontient? at first i was too embarrassed to admit i had a problem until one evening i had an accident just as i was helping a group of school children, well i ended up so upset that i took myself to the doctor and finally admitted i had a problem, he arranged for me to have urodynamic studies, it was whilst having these tests done that it was found the muscles used to control my bladder were not formed in fact i didn,t have a fully formed bladder, i was taught how to cathiterise myself but it didn,t help because i have absoulutly have no feeling at all in my bladder or the outside of my body, i was then given a number to ring and it turned out to be a firm which supplys incontinence pads , i ended up using these which were ok but a but bulky, two years ago i had my bladder removed and it was found that the bladder wasen,t formed properly, in the end i had a cystectomy [my bladder was removed] yes i still have accidents but i wonder have you seen a specialist incontinece advisor? i ask because maybe they can show you other ways of managing your incontinence, i truely hope you can get some help and maybe your doctor may put you in touch with the people who supply you with item,s such as i had because i had always brought my diapers, once you are told you have severe bladder problems you can usually get these diapers free sorry for the long winded message but who knows you may get more help, i wish you good luck and if you want to know anything then please feel free to ask me shelly x
