(1) They will need to wear depends. Make sure they fold the waistband down so that it reduces pressure on their abdomen.
(2) Use Charmin soft tissue paper. I buy mine from Costco.
(3) Use a water spray to “spritz” the toilet paper. Equate 2 oz fingertip sprayer works really well. A little bit of moisture will help reduce abrasions from all the toilet trips.
(4) Use bars of soap rather than liquid. It is easier on your hands.
(5) Buy a bottle of Lubriderm. It doesn’t take much, but they will get dishpan hands without it. My bottle has lasted 2 years.
(6) Get a mat to sleep on and a mat for the car to sit on. Sometimes the depends leak.
(7) Use plastic grocery bags to dispose of soiled Depends. Double tie them tight to keep your garbage can from smelling.
Contact me via FR email if you want further ideas. I have been living in a constant U.C. Flare for two years. Coping can be tough.
My car sits in the garage. I like it okay but we separate after the journey.
I feel for you. While my UC seems to be currently under control, I have had some bad flare-ups over the years. Cramps so bad my knees were shaking.
No fun. Currently getting Entyvio infusions. They seem to be helping.
