Hi Daniel
I'm a little late chiming in here But welcome to the Forum. We are glad to have you here.
You sound allot like me when I was your age. I'm now into my 40's and I can tell you I've never gone a night without a diaper in my life. Like you when I was your age I also had problems with leakage during the day. I wore pads during the day which for the most part worked. But of course there were times that I did overwhelm the pad
Daniel in a way you are Blessed to have this problem now and not 20 plus years ago. Your choices in protection are WAY
Better then what they were when I was your age. Also the acceptance of people with our condition is much better then what it was just a couple of decades ago. Granted there is still a Tabbo about it but it's nothing to what it use to be. When I was your age you never saw a commercial for pull-ups for older children. You could never go into a store like Walmart and find protection that was marketed for children over 100 pounds
My mom had to get all my diapers from a Medical supply drug store. And I'm sure they had to pay threw the nose
So anyway if your feeling down about your condition. Come and talk with us on the forum. If you don't feel comfortable talking in the open forum you can talk to individual members via private message. Paul Martin and Joe K. among others are very easy to talk to and I'm sure they will be more then willing to help you anyway they can. Or if you wish you may talk to me as well.
Hope to see more of you here........................Sandy
