I have urge incontinence. I wear Poise pads currently. At night I wake up at least two times and have to change my pad and sometimes my pajamas and underwear. I have tried the pull up type from Depends, but sometimes those leak too. I am not getting enough sleep and my husband thinks I should just take a sleeping pill and wear a "full blown diaper with tapes". He says it is no big deal to him but it is to me, but I am scared to try a sleeping pill now. The pull ups didn't work when I took a sleeping pill and I often sleep through wetting in my sleep and my husband will have to wake me up to let me know I've wet the bed and that the bed is soaked. I currently don't have insurance so we're just stuck living with this right now. I feel silly saying I don't want to wear a diaper and I don't know what to do. I haven't been getting enough sleep and I have become irritable and depressed. Should I just "Woman up" as my husband calls it and wear a diaper so I can get at least a couple good nights of sleep each week? Or keep doing what I have been doing? It should be noted that after 4-5 days of sleep deprivation I have a tendency to fall into a deep sleep anyway and I will wet the bed 1-2 times when I am that tired. Then I will wake up close to morning soaked and with a major headache.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

The past 2 months I have been dealing with frequent urination that is driving me nuts. My general doctor gave me 3 days of cipro because there was a tiny amount of bacteria in my urine as well as white blood cells. She said she wouldn't normally treat for the amount but since I was having issues she did. My problems have been on and off since then and again are starting up full force. My kidney doctor seems to think I still have a UTI (I was worried because I used to have kidney problems but my protein/creatine levels have been good) He called in 7 days of Bactrim for me I will be starting tonight.
My question is would a UTI make me have a high volume of urine too? My friend said when she get's them that she feels like she has to go but hardly goes at all. Me on the other hand will go and have a lot come out. I would really appreciate any advice on this because I am so worried that it might not be a UTI because of this and it's hard to sleep now because of always having to go.
Thank's in advanceView Thread
Thank youView Thread
I recently had complicated back surgery that resulted in a tear in the sac that controls the nerves to my bladder. While I had an incontinent episode early on, it hasn't been a problem. However, it certainly made me aware of the importance of having backup products available to ensure security and no compromise to my active life.View Thread
For the past two nights, I have awakened, as I do everynight twice, to urinate. No problem. But when I get back into bed and lay down, I find myself suddenly breathless, though breathing heavily and I loose bladder control!
Is there some type of relatinship between these symptoms? I've never had OAB or UI in the past, now suddenly I do. Are there dietary issues at work, perhaps? I haven't been eating well the past week and I've run out of my daily vitamins.
Thanks for any info you can provide!

I'm happy to report that after heavy research, I've found the ONLY clinic in the US (if not the world) that strategically and accurately addresses bedwetting and the TRUE underlying issue which is a sleep disorder. I encourage anyone who is facing the same issue as I to visit this website and meet a group of individuals who sincerely understand what we are going through.
There is nothing wrong with you as a person, you may just be a deep deep DEEP sleeper!

After surgery my prolapsed bladder no longer bulged out of my vagina (yes thats how bad it was) I was pleased about that. However I was disappointed to find I was even more incontinent. He said "you need time to heal, and perhaps some physical therapy might help later" I'm assuming he might be talking about the kegel excersizes? Currently I'm frustrated and very dissapointed in this proceedure. (I think it may be a new method for elderly women) And I am trying to find out the actual name of the surgery? I searched for it on WebMD but so far I can't find it?View Thread
