So far I've had liver and kidney tests, uti tests and I had been referred to the clinic in Cwmbran.i would like to share my experience should someone else be going through these early stages of diagnosis. I first saw the doctor in the end of feb and after referral to the continence nurse it took about 6 weeks to get an appointment. On arrival as soon as I stepped out the car my bladder gave way and dumped its load. Waited in waiting room and was called in. I was greeted by 2 nurses, one a trainee, very friendly. Once I'd talked about the fact I had wet day and night they looked and my bladder diary and as I had been wearing diapers I weighed them, she took about. 5 secs to grab the order form for all in ones. She was like, how many pads do you use, how many a day and what do you want. They only dispense euron so I asked for super plus.'i have also been referred to a healthcare company in Cardiff for other appliances. I also had a bladder scan and she was 90% sure I was suffering withs severe case of oab wet. I had to call the company as the nurse that was supposed to come out is on holiday and I too go away soon for holiday. They have been brilliant! Great beat health care, well done! I wales down the post office the other day in full nappy attire, onsie and shirt and nearly collapsed In the heat. I came home to a package full of leg bags, caths, wipes, preps etc. and to be honest it had changed my life. I don't have to worry about concealing my diaper, I'm cool, and the condom caths work well. I've had some blow out issues at night but I put this down to kinks and sleeping position. Currently using the manfred Bauer cath with great bear leg bag and night bags. The one thing that has disappointed me about the nhs is the time it's taken to get aids to get on with my life. I've been spending about £150 every 6 weeks on diapers and have only just got some supplies. It's almost as though they don't see incontinence as a big issue. I worked out that since feb I'd pee'd more than. 120 gallons of pee during the night alone. Imagine your bed and cieling? They really should have offered that help first . They call it pad dependancy, I call it, without the nappies I'd have been screwed! Thank god for tena maxis! So, now I'm waiting urodynamics and another scan to see what's going on. I feel like a normal 34 year old again. I will a update ASAP, speak soon all Memenbers
