In 2003 (when aged 13) Jade was diagnosed with Fowler's Syndrome. Since then she has had a urethral catheter, and a suprapubic catheter. Now she empties her bladder by self catherisation. She feels well, has a positive attitude and lives life to the full.

In 1986 Charles was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). In 2005 he found he had some urinary incontinence. He managed this easily with intermittent self catheterisation, but due to brachial neuritis, was unable to continue. Now he has a suprapubic catheter.
