Where do I start? I will just go back to the beginning, so you understand my story. I was born with Spinabifida, as most of you may know, this is not an easy life to live if you are born with this condition, things can be very challenging (especially going to the toilet). I was told I may never walk, 5 months after I was born I started walking, so as you can imagine I simply just don't listen haha. Luckily for me, I am able to carry out everyday activates that a lot of people with my condition aren't able to do. I am very grateful in that respect. Now with me, I am as incontinent as a wooden spoon, literally no use of either my bowels or bladder growing up. There was always that risk of having severe spine damage, or it snapping as I grow due to the never damage around my spinal cord. When I was 9 I had major surgy that eliminated that risk for me, and I have been able o grow up heathery than ever. I have used disposable catheters all my life, however in recent years I have slowly notices that the feeling of needing to go for a pee has been appearing, and has been getting stronger over time. I am now occasionally able to sit down and go for a pee myself. I may not always be able to fully empty my bladder because of how hard I am trying, nor sometimes even have the strength to start, but slow progression is better than no progression. Moving onto my bowels, this is where I have had most difficulties growing up. About 10 years ago I was provided an enema kit, that I used for about a year, after that I completed stopped as I just couldn't keep using it. If you know, you know. I always dropped out of sports very easily because of this as mid run, I would realise its too late to get to a toilet and ultimately needed to go and change my clothes. This has pretty much been the story of my life. Now for the good bit, I had an appointment at Neath, Port Talbot hospital the other day for a check up with Urology, this is where I met this absolute gem of a lady, her name is Cath Dixon. To say this lovely lady quite literally changed my life overnight was an understatement. I have tried every kind of laxative and and supplement the world has to offer, and they have absolutely zero affect on me. But Cath told me about this product that changed it all, and the best thing is, she told me this will work with confidence. Of course I was sceptical but thought it cant be worse than anything else I have tried. So, yesterday I picked up with product from my local pharmacy, I took it before bed with a warm drink as Cath advised. Today, now around lunch time I felt like I needed a poo, now it didn't feel like it was too late for me either, I had time to get up and actually go to the toilet, and within 10 minutes my bowels were empty. I was, and still am mind blown. The feeling is like no other, I have never felt so mentally sharp, and happy. That brain fog that I never actually knew I had clouding over me all these years just disappeared and I tell you what, this is a feeling like no other. I cant quite explain how I feel this way. I feel smarter, I feel sharper, I am able to focus so much better, I am so much happier. It is like I have just woken up in a new life, and it feels amazing. Within the next couple of weeks I can confidently say I will be return back to the gym to train, and to live my life to my fullest potential without ever looking back. Cath, I owe you a dept of gratitude that I can never repay. You have quit literally saved me from a trauma I never thought I would be able to get over. You are truly my hero.
