Jacqui has been trying various things to help with her overactive bladder.

hello, it`s Jacqui.

I’ve been having problems with my overactive bladder, especially at night. I was given some medication, oxybutynin, It worked for a little while then it stopped working. Then I was given another tablet and I had an adverse reaction so I stopped it. They are now trying to find something they can give to an `elderly person`.

`Ooh` I thought, I didn`t realize I was in that category! But anyhow I’ve been on the internet googling and I’ve seen you can get a booster pad that goes inside the panties I wear. That saves money so you don`t have to change the actual panties, well they`re not panties exactly
but they are pads, oh I don`t know what they are called but I know what they are, you know they come up like panties, they are full pads.

It means you don`t have to change (inaudible) cos it really is expensive and being also at night you can sleep more at ease because at first I was getting up five times a night to go to the loo but now I`m not getting that urge to go. Still, I`m concerned and suddenly you don`t sleep properly. So now I have found these booster pads and I just wondered if anyone else knew about them and what they did.

I just thought I would share that information.

Have a care everybody

Bye Bye
