I have a Physical Therapy appointment in early July, the soonest they had an opening. I just got a SIX page questionnaire to fill out for the appointment. A lot isn't applicable as it deals with urinary control and some deals with female anatomy, and some I'm not sure exactly how to answer. Sometimes isn't an option.

There's a part of me that wants to track down the Attends design team and make them wear and use what they designed for a month or two or hundred. After about three hours it was literally falling off my body. I did find a use for the case of pullups they sent me. I wear one over the brief to help hold the brief on.

I'm in Illinois, I just got two cases of Attends "Ultimate Absorbency" briefs. My Primary Care Provider is new to the VA and not a native speaker. Her attempt got me a case of Attends underwear. Someone from another team called me and got me these. They are crap. I'm not sure who you need to talk to. You might try the pharmacy or find a long term doctor or nurse that knows the system.

My GI doctor sent me results early today, as she suspected there is some muscle weakening and she is putting in a consultation for physical therapy.

It's hard to say, since I don't have a baseline for parts of the test. The sensations parts seemed to take a while for me to notice, but not knowing a normal time frame makes that just a guess.

I had my testing earlier today, and it went well. Not painful and just a bit of discomfort. Now I have to wait for the official results. The test consisted of a finger test, squeezing and pushing. Then a probe test, squeezing and pushing again, followed by a sensitivity test.

I have an appointment for next Friday. The way she down played the test was more than just you won't like it, it was almost like "I have to suggest this, but it's useless and won't help."

It is to test the strength of the muscle groups down there. So it is diagnostic of muscle weakness being a cause of the incontinence. They even have physical therapist to help build strength back.

I had an appointment with a gastroenterologist today. Not a lot of anything with the appointment. She recommended a test, Anorectal manometry, while trying to dissuade me from having the test done. The test consists of having a balloon stuck up there to test muscle strength. It was strange with the doctor first saying, "you should get this test," then saying "I don't think you will like it," then recommending it again, then suggesting that it might not help. Very mixed message. Other than that it was eat more fiber, and maybe Google exercises to help.

Too many greasy Shaq-a-Roni pizzas.

Hello and welcome. Check if your insurer will work with NorthShore or LLMedico. They both have a wide variety of quality products.

Always pack extras. You never know when one will tear, tapes pull off, or something else will make it unusable. A spare set of clothes is good too.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJHL563C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 I have one of these. It is quite large and bulky, but also carries quite a bit. You should look for videos of products to see what they will do.

Well, during December I had two very close calls, and 13 incidents which varies from heavy "skid marks" to a complete loss of control with a thick soupy mess.

Considering I've found poop in my diaper and not known when it gout there, time isn't going to work. I am listing amount, a rough description, where and what I was doing.

I really need to track my pooping, both intentional and accidental. Wish me luck.

The need for retraining makes sense, just like people relearning things after a stroke or another injury. Your body gets used to doing things a certain way.

I think you are operating under a couple of misconceptions. First is that not all AB/DL are that way for the sexual aspects of it. Some are there for the stress release, or comfort, or even just as a strange hobby. Second, few AB/DLs actually want to be incontinent. Most just enjoy wearing and using diapers on their own choice. Some don't use them, and some don't even wear them.

Except I'm no longer on Metformin.

Right now my Primary thinks it's a drug side effect, but the Pharmacist I talk to monthly doesn't.

They keep pushing the colonoscopy age earlier, my doctor said it's down to 45 now. I've done the Cologuard, but it has too many false positives and false negatives.

Fortunaately, I'm a retired Veteran, so I don't have to pay for those tests. Unfortunately my Primary decided it's Colonoscopy time.

He ordered some blood tests, and a colonoscopy (yay) and prescribed a couple things. He thinks it might be another medicine I'm taking, which is odd because the Pharmacist didn't think it was medicine related. So for now I'm waiting

After lot's of discussions with the Pharmacist assisting with my Diabetes, she suggested I go see my PC about my pooping problems. So I'm off to see him.

First and FOREMOST! There is nothing to be ashamed about. Pretty much everyone out there has some sort of kink, don't worry about that. If you are experiencing sexual excitement from diapers or visiting the sites, then bring it up. The more info she has, the better job she can do.
