I guess the schools I went to were the only ones that used real nurses. Even our substitute nurses were RNs.The nurse at my high school was a retired RN. The only reason I know this is because as I stated in my above post, I worked in the nurses office at my high school. I think my school district was afraid of getting sued if they didn't have a trained RN on duty. Of course, I don't know if anything has changed since I graduated or not.

I didn't really watch it. My husband being from the bay area was rooting for the 49rs. I wanted to see the Budwiser commerical as I don't really care to watch sports. I had an ex-boyfriend who would watching nothing but sports center...it drove me nuts.

I worked as a school admin for the nurses office at my high school and I can say that I never saw any diapers or change of clothes for students who were prone to need to change their clothes due to accidents. I was in charge of keeping the supplies stocked and had access to private areas of the nurses office that were off limits to other students (but at the same time...I wasn't prone to snooping either so their could have been diapers and I was never notified of that fact...).

I lived at home until I was a little over the age of 21, but I too had a very prying mother. She would snoop in my room without my consent...the same thing as doey parents told him, "My house my rules" sort of thing. I had been struggling with incontinence since I hit puberty. It just made its presence worse when I turned 18 or thereabouts. I guess what my point is...I eventually had to come clean and explain to her why I was wearing diapers. Of course that led to doctor's appointments which my doctor couldn't pin point anything majorly wrong with me at that time and really still can't (at least not in the urology department). She allowed me to keep wearing as long as I took care of my trash so my room didn't smell like stale pee....the bottom line is...maybe if you explain you reasoning behind wearing and kept it where no one else wouldn't be bothered by it...hopefully you could indulge in peace, but maybe a footlocker is a better option if she isn't so understanding.

I've had a few accidents during my preschool years...part of that was due to my leg braces I had to wear for a few years. The part was due to my issues with my bowels in general.

It definitely isn't fun. I can agree on that.

I am usually told to get ready for bed by my husband. I take my showers in the morning since my diapers will be wet by morning, and I don't like to smell like stale pee. So far me it is just jammies and diapers.

I don't really have a lot of stress other than trying to start a family. My issues are more genetic as I get if from both sides of my family tree. I just hope that my sister doesn't get affected by it. I have had tummy issues pretty much my whole life...now that I am older it definitely got worse.

I also heard that pregnant women shouldn't use peppermint oil for fear of miscarriages. I think that Florastor is probably the way to go or what I had been taking which was Align. Thanks again Dill_Pickle.

I would rather wear a pull-up at work if I could get away with it, but I can't. Out of curiosity, I tried a Depend pull-up with adjustable tabs. I leaked with the first time I to used it which it happened to be in my husband's car that had cloth interior...and I know that I shouldn't left the house in it, but I just had to run to the bank ATM which was less than 5 miles from my house. I won't do that again.

I have one local medical supply store where I live that actually sells the Abena brand. I prefer the plastic backed diapers as they seem to do better for me, but I've had to use cloth backed. They have worked well so far with an exception of minor leaks.

I don't eat a lot of dairy as a rule...I try to avoid it; I can't drink milk as I am lactose intolerant. I drink almond milk. I also found out from a mutual friend who also suffers from IBS that my lactose intolerance may also be connected to my bowel issues. I used to love drinking milk. Thanks for the input about dicyclomine...unfortunately WebMD labels it possibly safe for pregnant women...so I will have to check with my RE doctor to know for sure. I have never heard of florastor...I will have to look into that to see if I can take it as well. My GP also knows that I am trying to get pregnant and she too suggested a probiotic...I just forgot to pick it up...ooops . I will need to do that tomorrow.

I just feel like venting at the moment, but would also like some advice...so to start from the beginning...I have endometriosis which is also tied to my IBS issues. I am mainly urinary incontinent, but do have some bowel incontinence. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for awhile now, and I had been prescribed a medication to help facilitate getting pregnant which in turn has screwed up my cycles. I stopped the meds because my endocrinologist doctor said I didn't need to take them anymore. Now the bowel incontinence is getting worse because of my messed up cycles, and I am not sure what to do . I used to have some idea that I was going to have bowel movement (granted I only get a few minutes at the most to get to the bathroom before I have a messy accident) and now I don't have any indication other than the immediate need to evacuate my bowels accompanied by severe gas. I don't want to go on any medications that I won't be able to take when I get pregnant. I have been seeing a Chiropractor to see if that will help alleviate the issue in a natural way and been using a heating pad on and off which hasn't helped yet. Even though I am diapered, I have been luckily enough not to have a bowel accident in my diaper at work because I used to have some indication that I needed to go. Now I am completely freaking out. I can deal with messy accidents in public, but I am not sure if I can handle them at work. I know that I don't have a choice especially if I want to keep my job. The upside to this issue (if you can say that there is an upside ) is that my boss does know that I have IBS issues, but she doesn't know that I wear diapers which she doesn't need to know of course .

That was normal for me when I had Bronchitis as a child. It drove me nuts. Of course, I was partly to blame as I didn't tell my mom that I wasn't feeling good until I was sick enough that it required a Penicillin injection to cure me.

I saw Brooke on Discovery or TLC...I forget which. It is sad to say the least. Her bedroom is still a nursery basically never really changing from when she was an actual infant. She still sleeps in a crib. The cool thing about Brooke is that she has a swing that she can propel herself. If she is upset about something she will swing back and both in rapid succession to show that she is not a happy camper.

I like diapers, but I also hate diapers at the same time. I try not to let diapers define who I am as a person, but I am tired of always worrying about leaking. I wear rubber pants over them, but that doesn't necessarily stop the leaks. There have been several times that my diapers have failed and I have woke up to soaked pajamas even with wearing night time diapers such as Molicares. In a perfect world, I would love to be able to wear when I want to and not because I have to. I have come across some remarkably soft diapers on the inside and out so it makes wearing much more tolerable on a daily basis. I am also always on the look out for a thinner diaper that has the capability to hold as much as an Abena or Molicare overnight diaper. I haven't found one yet that has worked for me.

I watched it with my husband who is a huge fan of the English score; he also has seen it on Broadway. I saw the Liam Neeson film release which I liked. I did cry during the Hugh Jackman's version vs Liam Neeson's version though. I definitely recommend bringing tissues. I agree with Sarah_ab that the ending isn't the only time that you will cry.

I haven't really felt old yet except for the fact I have some health issues that I am currently dealing with; I am trying to get pregnant for which I am going to need medical intervention to conceive. The medical claims that will be coming in will list me as an advanced maternal age patient (i.e.Elderly multigravida-del.) even though I am not even 40 which is quite disturbing to me. On the other hand, I don't look my age yet, and I still get carted when I buy alcohol...that right there says something. To me...it gets annoying though( I know...weird huh? I guess I should enjoy while it lasts). I did however felt grown up when I turned 25 and could rent a luxury car if I wanted to.
