Post subject:  Looking for some help in the Tacoma, WA area . . .

I've been incontinent for a year and don't want to treat it with either drugs or surgery. It seems like it's getting a bit worse, and I'm also starting to have some skin issues. I'm wondering if there is someone you could recommend in the Tacoma area that I could talk to about how to live better with my urinary incontinence in diapers. I'm thinking a urologist is a bit too much and will want me to do the drug or surgery route. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Seattle,
You could try a therapist. Either a Ph.D or LCSW. I have one fo rmy mental health issues and talk to her regularly about my incontiennce. She is most helpful and nice to talk to. I see a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is caring and gives me advice on my health conditions. She doesn't treat your conditions, just the way you think about them and this therapist would offer support to you. Try it. But do you research and find a good one that is easy to talk to. I thoroughly recommend it.

Another route is going to a massage therapist who specializes in pelvic issues. I see one because my pelvic muscles are very tight and he has helped me regain some control. And I expect it to get better. But these kinds of therapists are fairly rare.
