After receiving her diagnosis, Gray was instructed on how to manually relieve her bladder five times a day.
She continues to experience infections, and Fowler’s syndrome eventually had a major negative impact on her mental health. Further research is required to fully understand this disorder.
But after six years, she told the newspaper, she’s learning how to feel confident again.
“I was in the hospital last year for my mental health, and it was difficult for me to accept that it was a lifelong condition,” she added.
However, I’m gradually improving and have grown accustomed to the bag. It no longer bothers me, so I’ll wear shorts and shirts where you can see them. Questions are asked, and I don’t mind.
Connecting with people who have Fowler’s syndrome online now gives Gray solace and support.
