    It took me a while

    I have been wearing medium pull up nappies from day one. Something made me order large and the difference is astonishing. Comfort is a warm, well fitted nappy! ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒˆxx

    I've noticed that size varies with different makes. Some can be a bit baggy and create leaks. Definitely a learning curve.

      ALS diagnosed November 2017, limb onset. For the 4 yrs previously I was losing my balance.

      I'm staying positive and taking each day as it comes.

          Itโ€™s a normal one, tube between legs up to bladder and bag on leg. Going to Wythenshaw next Wednesday to breathing team to discuss PEG and suprapubic catheter but if the normal catheter works and isnโ€™t too uncomfortable Iโ€™ll stick with that xx

                  How long after you saw the breathing team did you go in for your PEG? Iโ€™m hoping very soon xx

                    If you have an upcoming appointment at the clinic, I'm sure they'll have a chat with you about all options Janette, if you feel that a catheter would be most suitable for your setup/lifestyle, then push for that option, otherwise talk to your district nurse.

                    Good luck xx
