I am excited to start Victoria’s first “Urinary Incontinence Support Group”. I am extremely passionate about this cause and believe in it so much. As my family and friends know, I have suffered with giggling incontinence (I prefer to call it laughing incontinence) for 40 years. I am now 46 years old. For most of my life I have questioned “Why Me?” This insidious condition has controlled my quality
of life and unfortunately made me the victim of bullying, particularly through my childhood/teenage years. I now realise “Why Me?” - because I can make a difference! Therefore, I’ve started this Support Group. It’s established to help empower sufferers (especially children/teenagers) with the knowledge that they can make it through the humiliation and embarrassment and that they are not alone. This Urinary Incontinence Support Group is for members to share their stories. You deserve to be heard! It will be a positive and inspirational Support Group! Ideally, in the near future, I would love to start a face to face Support Group because I know that over many years this is what I’ve yearned for and believe this is what members need so they don’t feel so isolated. Initially though, I need to gauge interest via a page. It’s comforting to know that through adversity, I now have the strength and courage to help others and make that difference :)
