32 years & now I have problems

Tony-LakeDistrict profile image

I have had a colostomy for 32 years, with just the normal mishaps every now and then.

But now every thing has gone pear shaped .

For the last 6 weeks , I have had leaks at least every other day, bag down trouser leg 3 times. Its beginning to get to me, Its not PH levels, and I can not think of anything that has changed in my life.

I have Vasculitis so take a lot of pills but the prescriptions have not changed in over a year.

My bags of choice have been Coloplast Sensura , since the problem started I have tried the Mio, no more effective. I am now trying other makes of bag.

My colostomy sister is stumped !!!!

So any suggestions

Thank you

Tony Poole
