sclerosing mesenteritis diagnosis

let's check out some email today. dear bevvan,i need your help. my husband and i married for better or worse and he is willing to helpme, but i just can't stand it. i wonder if this email is for me. oh here it is. i havem.s. that's multiple sclerosis and i can't get the toilet paper you know where by myselfanymore. do you have any answers. well actually, i think i do. hygiene aftertoileting is something that most adults in america would like to have handled, privately,discreetly, and independently and it is among one of the most challenging activities bothphysically and emotionally for many people with disabilities. people who have normalhand and arm function can only imagine how complicated and difficult handling toiletpaper and getting it to the right perianal

spot can be after toileting. so while thereare several good pieces of adaptive equipment to handle toilet paper, i would like to suggestthat you consider an attachable bidet as a substitute for toilet paper. now an attachable bidet can help a personwith a disability with hygiene after toileting by allowing them to do that activity independentlythrough the touch of a button. if a caregiver is still needed that provides a degree ofseparation that adds to that comfort level between caregiver and person being cared forduring a private activity. bidets are also gaining popularity with seniors who don'thave disabilities for a couple of reasons. there are some normal anal sphincter changesthat may occur with aging and older women

are more susceptible to bladder and vaginalinfections. so the super cleaning power of an attachable bidet is an advantage, becauseit makes cleaning easier and reduces risk of health issues from not totally perfectcleaning. so an attachable bidet has many, many advantages. now i'm still learning aboutbidets, but i have five features that i'd love to share with you. things you can consider.the first is that while in america we consider toilet paper clean, people all over the worldare using bidets quite joyfully and gleefully. some people use them for religious reasons,others are using them because they are friendlier to the environment and others are using thembecause quite frankly they clean better than toilet paper. now, you may or may not wantto run your own personal test on that one,

but i'd like for you to accept that thereis an alternative to toilet paper. tidbit number two, there are several types of bidets.people who have been to europe may be more familiar with the separate stand alone bidet,which can be used for soaking or may have jets. there is an attachable bidet that replacesthe toilet seat on an existing toilet. there is an attachable toilet bidet that fits betweenthe toilet seat and the toilet and then there are portable bidets. now, i'm typically recommendingthe attachable bidet so the toilet seat bidet, because you don't have to have extra roomfor a separate plumbing fixture and because people who have difficulty transferring canjust sit in one place and take care of everything. third thing. you need to consider size andthe functions that you need when you're out

shopping for a bidet. if you have a roundtoilet or an elongated toilet you need a bidet that fits that shape. there are also manyimportant features. the things i think about most are how you control. where are the buttonslocated. are they separate, are they right or left. how big are they? whether you addhot air to dry or not is an important question to ask yourself. i would urge you to do thedrying feature, and the third is how many wands do you have. some of the systems i likebest have two separate water jets. one is for feminine cleansing the other is for analcleansing and then they have air, as well. so you think about all of these differentfeatures you need when you're out there shopping for this device. the fourth thing that youwant to consider is whether or not you need

other adaptive equipment when using the bidet.you can use some of your other assistive equipment like grab bars, whether they're floor to ceilingor mounted on the wall. we've used different types of toilet safety equipment with bidetsand you can use risers with bidets. you can use the type of riser that fits under thetoilet and you can use the type of riser that fits between the toilet and the toilet seat.you can't use the kind of riser that fits on top of the toilet seat with a bidet, butyou can keep things like height and balance supports with a bidet. and the fifth and finalthing that i want to offer is that you should prepare for a bidet. it doesn't take much.it uses the existing water supply from your toilet so that's a no-brainer. when i'm workingwith people that re remodeling their bathroom.

even if they have no trouble at all handlingtoilet paper or getting toilet seated, i suggest they add that outlet down low. that makesit easier to add the bidet in the future. you can add it and plug it in to any outletthat's within a certain distance of the bidet, but if you're using that outlet already forlike curling irons and hair dryers and recharging your toothbrush, you don't want to be tryingto plug the bidet in there as well. so preparing for that while remodeling by just adding aprotected outlet near the toilet will prepare you for the wonderful world of bidets. soshare the news and share the video. there is an alternative to toilet paper.
