Sharing your experience can help those who are struggling with overactive bladder (OAB) or non-obstructive urinary retention (UR) and make a lasting impact on their lives. Here are three easy ways to share.
As a patient ambassador, you can share your story in one-on-one phone calls with people who are considering Medtronic bladder control therapy. It's a unique opportunity to help those with OAB or non-obstructive UR who are seeking candid answers from someone who has "been there" already. You can make as many calls as you like, at a time that works for you.
Too often, embarrassment prevents people with bladder control issues from getting the help they need. You can change that by speaking up about this important issue. Here are some tips for talking about your diagnosis, treatment, and results in your local community.
Your healthcare professionals should work with you to help choose a medication. If you want, your carer can also help you make the decision. Doctors should explain the benefits and side effects of each drug.
Your doctor should offer you psychosocial treatments. These treatments help you to look at how your thoughts and behaviour are influenced by the people and society you live in. This can include the following.
What is cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp)?NICE says the NHS should offer cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp) to all adults with psychosis or schizophrenia. CBTp does not get rid of your symptoms. CBTp can help you to manage your feelings and symptoms better.
What is family intervention? NICE recommend family members of people who live with psychosis and schizophrenia should be offered family intervention. This can help to improve how you feel about family relationships. This can help reduce any problems in the family caused by your symptoms.
What is psychoeducation?This involves learning about your illness, your treatment and how to spot early signs of becoming unwell again. It can prevent you having a relapse. Psychoeducation may also be helpful for anyone who is supporting you, such as family, a partner or a trusted colleague.
They therapy session can be one-to-one or in a group. They can help you express your feelings and thoughts and help you to look at things in different ways. This can help to reduce the negative symptoms of the illness.
You could join a support group. A support group is where people come together to share information, experiences and give each other support. Hearing about the experiences of others can help you feel understood. This may help you feel less alone and boost your self-confidence.

When I teach people how to write a memoir, we talk about how to tell a compelling story. While all memoirs are different, the best memoirs all have certain elements in common. Knowing what makes a memoir compelling and riveting is key when sitting down to craft your own.
The scope of memoir will vary depending on the subject matter, but more often than not, aspiring memoirists come to the page with too much story that needs to be pared down. One way to do that is to get clear about your themes. Memoir is often reined in by the writer knowing what her themes are and writing each scene while holding two questions in mind:
You could describe the geography and history of the area, share interesting snippets about the people and animals you interacted with, and discuss your exploration of the meaning of it all as you progressed along your arduous journey.
While your memoir is a true story, employing elements of fiction can make it far more powerful and enjoyable for your readers, and one point of craft is learning how to create strong characters your readers will feel like they know.
Whatever experiences you had throughout your book will carry more weight when you show how they affected you along your journey, and how you grew and changed as a result of what you lived through, or what you survived. How did what you went through change your approach to life? Change how you thought about others or yourself? Help you become a better or wiser person in some way?
Healthy kidneys remove wastes and extra fluid from your blood, but when kidneys fail, toxins can build up in the blood and make people feel sick. Dialysis works for the kidneys, helping clear out toxins and fluid to help people feel better and live longer with end-stage kidney disease. Learning what type of dialysis your loved one is they are on can help you better understand what they are going through and support them accordingly.
Then help your friend or family member craft their story and message. Openly sharing who you are, those who love you, and how difficult living with kidney failure is can help potential donors connect with the story. Even if someone isn't interested in donating, they may feel called to share the story and help spread the word.
