MESSAGE BOARDS
Do you have a question about your bladder or bowel condition and want to hear firsthand accounts from others like you? Maybe you just need to vent a little to others who might understand what you’re going through. Or maybe you’re looking to share the insights you’ve learned from living with incontinence.
Connecting with others who share a similar situation can be a great way to learn, and does wonders for your well-being. So many people living with incontinence are too embarrassed to talk to someone about it – even their doctor! That’s why we’ve created the NAFC Message Boards – it’s a safe place where you can share your questions, tips, frustrations, and successes. This is a wonderfully supportive community of people and is a great place to anonymously talk about what you’re experiencing, ask questions, share support, and connect with others – even when you feel you are alone.
No matter what your reason to connect is, there’s an active community waiting for you at the NAFC Message Boards. No judgment, no shame – we invite you to click below and join the conversation!
