Health Product Review: Tranquility Slim Line Original Brief



I just got this product sample in the mail, and as soon ass I put it on it fit like a glove. This product provides total comfort, most products move around when walking but this brief stays right in place. So far when receiving Tranquility products in the mail I have not been disappointed. 


Features Include:
Extra inner gathering to prevent leaks.
Four adjustable tabs
Wetness indicator to let you know to change product.
Fluid Capacity 21.4 oz. 


 This product also works great with Adult Booster Liner 



Added this gives you an extra 27.5 oz.
That means you could probably wear the briefs for almost half of the day before you even have to change it and still feel dry. Depending on your level of incontinence  both of these are great products.


Well I hope this review was helpful.

Another Use for Toothpaste




 

I know this post on my blog is a little off topic, but since I've had experience in this I thought I would share this. About a week ago my son decided he would take a permanent marker a write 
King of Rock on a nice guitar that someone from Church gave to him. Now I wasn't to happy about this because the Guitar was a very nice and expensive one. I was thinking that there was no way that we would be able to clean this up. Then my wife did a little research on the net and found that white toothpaste will clean permanent marker off of anything. So we found an old toothbrush and the toothpaste and began to scrub, and lone behold in about 3 minutes the black maker was gone. 
   So if you ever have to remove black permanent marker from anything, just grab a toothbrush and some white toothpaste.

I hope this post has been helpful.

Health Product Review: Tranquility Top Liner Booster Super-Plus Contour


Since writing my article on incontinence I have received a lot feedback and questions via private messages through YouTube and e-mails. I have also done videos on this subject. The questions I have received are what is the best product and does Medicare or Medicaid pay for incontinence supplies. 
Well as far as Medicare and Medicaid, some of the suppliers around me either won't accept it or make you pay something up front until the insurance clears. So I really don't bother and I try and pay for my own. The one place I have bought from online that has really great deals is Magic Medical, they have free shipping on case orders and 5% off when you buy more than one case. 

  As far as what is the the best product? The only products I have tried is Depend and Tena. I am recently trying a new products to help my readers. 


One  product I have decided to try is Tranquility Top Liner Booster Super-Plus Contour. I got this product through a supplier that gives away free samples of incontinent products.

  A booster is an ad on to an Adult Brief to absorb more liquid for those with very heavy incontinence. I will have to say that this product works great. The absorbency is great and it ads extra comfort to both adult briefs as well as the protective underwear.
On a scale from 1-10 I give it a 10.

I hope this article was helpful.

Seizures & Incontinence

Some people who have seizures struggle with Urinary Incontinence. I am one of them, most of the time  I have leakage. This is mostly caused by lose of muscles during a seizure. After most of my seizures my body relaxes and I lose bladder control.
Even if I don't have seizures my body has been through so much over the year that I have to take lots of trips to the bathroom. When I go to sleep I have to wear adult diapers because I have heavy incontinence at night. During the day time I wear the protective underwear adult diapers just encase I don't make it to the rest room when I go out in public. My advice for people with incontinence. Talk with your doctor to see if this problem could be caused by something else other than seizures. I your incontinence is a cause of something else, then I can be treated with medication. This is good to find out first before you make an investment in other protective measures, such as adult diapers.

   Now if you find that you have to invest in some adult diapers
you should know that choosing the most comfortable diaper is important. So to help, you should know that if you Google free adult diapers, you will find sites that will give you 3 free samples to help you make the choice for the most comfortable diaper for you.
Now if you want to know what I use, my recommendation is  products fron TENA.  

     

If you want a good price on whatever product you buy shop around. Some sites have deals that if you buy two or more cases that you will get free shipping.

Seizure Helmets


Wearing a helmet has become a big part of my life. The reason for wearing it is that I have seizures. Sometimes I have drop seizures that cause me to fall. This big bulky thing on my head gives me enough cushion to protect me from causing any kind of head trauma.

I have gotten used to wearing my helmet pretty much, so much to the point that sometimes I forget I'm wearing it. The only thing I hate about it is when people see me they stop and stare or even make fun of me. I have even been called freak or retarded, witch at times makes me upset. I just get on with my life and remind myself that it's for my own protection.



Since starting to wear the helmet I have been trying to be myself even on YouTube. I have started a channel called brotherjohnspeaks as kind of a way to raise awareness for epilepsy and other seizure disorders. It's also kind of a Christian outreach to others with seizures, as I also share my faith and love for the Lord Jesus.

When I first got the helmet I was having a hard time finding a dealer that sold them. So I'm gonna leave some links for other who may be looking to get a seizure helmet.

Medication Zombies




One part of being an epileptic is having to take large doses of medication. I myself have 4 different types of medications to control my seizures, my doses on each one range anywhere from 500mg to 2000mg. Side effects from most medications include dizziness, drowsiness, and seizures. That's right, the medication that is supposed to control seizures actually causes them. so the one thing the doctor does is raise the does, making the patient feel more like a medicated zombie. 
        
Although medication makes me feel like a wondering zombie. I have some good days where everything is fine, so I just use those days to enjoy time with my family.

Stressed Out Seizures


      



























One thing that can be a major contributor to seizure activity is stress. Every time I find myself stressed I end up having a seizure. 


 I know others that don't have epilepsy that have seizures due to stress. If you have epilepsy the seizures are more severe.


  One way to avoid stress is not to have to much going on than you can handle. A lot of people try to juggle to many things in there life such as working to much, extra activities etc.


  The best thing I find is that it's best to take it slow, one day at a time. Stress is not good when you need to have plenty of rest. Not getting enough sleep causes a person to haves seizures as well.


  Well I hope this post was helpful please comment your thoughts and I hope to see you again soon.
