i think the best you should do is set an alarm for every 4 hours or so. wake up. so pee pee. then go to sleep. u shud have no water 2-3 hours before bed and pee pee before bed time. then makesure that u have support from Gf/BF or even family. if u dont wanna tell them. ill be ur support :) necaue i understand how hard this could be =/ u can email me if u want. i can tell u my secret to helping my bedwetting

it is most likely because you were too drunk and that your body had lost control over your bladder. but if you feel concern about anything that seems to be going on more than once.( if u wet more than one night) you might consider going to a doctor.

Thanks, KaRR3n...

Right - It only happens when I drink alcohol in excess and get very drunk.  I will cut back on the amount I drink when I go out and that should do the trick.

Thanks again!

It might be because when u then get drunk ur bladder is not able to control the amout of urine so then it would become uncontrolled. therfore, i would suggest u to not drink as much and as well, to be maybe a bed protection or a diaper if u drink anykinds of liquid beofre bed.

Over the past 12-18 months, I have had problems with wetting the bed after a night of drinking.  It has happened a few times during this time frame, but does not happen every time I drink alcohol - only on instances where I drink heavily, and especially when I do not eat before going to bed/passing out.  Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be concerned that their is something wrong medically? I am going to limit the amount of alcohol I drink from now on to avoid avoid a recurrence of this, as it is extremely embarrassing, but I have been having a tough time finding out what may be causing this to happen.  It has never happened to me in the past and I have been drinking socially for several years now.   Not sure why or what is causing this to happen now...

Hi Karren, I'm sure you could see a counsellor also, certainly, if you feel it would help. There are specific medications (such as desmotab) which help with bed-wetting but it's always better to find and treat the actual cause.

our whole family has diabetes so thats why id have to give her meds. i guess it'll be best to bring her to a councilor .

Thnk you =]

so do u think that if i wet the bed, i cud see the counsellor as well ?

# 155

Hi Karren, as your sister seems to need some sort of comfort and is wetting the bed, that would indicate that she does need to see a counsellor and get professional help in sorting out her feelings. The bed-wetting may be a symptom of emotional problems. However, as she is on medication is would also be advisable, I think, to see whoever is medically managing her case - whatever doctor has prescribed the medication for whatever complaint or condition she has.

yah. we have been through a lot. but we did what we could do to protect our little sister. my brother suggested a for me to go see a counsellor. I didn't really want to go. he's older than me but i still feel not that bad. my sister is fine knowing that our mother is gone. though, i was the one most affected by that. i'd do what ever i can. sometimes it hurt, but in all, i just really would like to help my sister.   there really isn't a problem. just that she'd wet the bed and we have to out her to bed like a baby. she'll only find comfort that way. As well, to put her on a diaper, its gives her a comforting and safe feeling. I know, because i use to have them on being in such a terrible state id cry and lose control of my body and accidents happen. though, its been going on for a while. in the morning she'd be fine in school. then at night, shed be like a baby. but i find it alright. just its hard to get her to bed. do u think you could suggest anything ?

shed be fine. but some hard days. she'd find out ive been crying, my brother would take over and it wouldn't work as well. 

@ashamed

I think the best thing is for you to tell him the truth. he would understand i guess. just tell him the truth. btw, how old r u ?

Oh Karren, I am so very sorry to hear of the abuse you and your brother suffered and of your mothers death. It must such a very harrowing time for you all. Have you gone to the authorities and sought help? If not, please please do so, for all your sakes. They must protect you. And also seek appropriate medical help for your sister as well as counselling for yourselves.

The bed wetting could be concordant with her medical condition, could be related to her meds or could be due the emotitonal trauma of her mothers death and what you and your brother have syuffered also. It is best to speak with who ever is handling her medical case and perhaps a counsellor for all of you as well.

I recently met a guy who I really liked but after da second night of staying with him I soaked his bed after alcohol and he hasnt contacted me since. I am absolutely devastated as I never felt that way about a guy before. the bed was actually belonging to his friend who was out for the nite and almost surly saw it da next day as I was too embarassed to say anything. They live in the next town and I am so embarrassed. I really want to contact him but I am almost sure he doesnt want to know.

Yes. that is kind of the problem. Because since our father abused me and my brother. we'd protect her. with our mother's death. it was just a real hard time to get though. now that my brother and i along with his girfriend, we try to encourage her not to get used to sucking or to be sucking a dummie though, this way it helps to calm  her down. soothes her. she does not seem to be struggling in school, though im assuming  that what you've said is correct. maybe its time to bring her for a check up and to see what's really going on. WIthout the bottle i would not be able to feed her her meds.

do u know the new kind of bottle which you just slowly inject the meds into the bottle whle drinking ? i use that everynight, now insteadof having to force her, she'd willingly allowme to use the new kind of bottle. Even though she is use to sucking onto a bottle or a dummie, i think this med bottle really helps. though no too much on the bed wetting. do u have anysuggestions to what i could do or to encourage her at the mean time ?

Hi Karren, you say your sister is 12 years old but then you say you bottle feed her and giver her a pacifier. I would conclude then that she has some manner of physical disability. Therefore delayed or absent bladder control may be concurrent with her condition. So, if you are her guardian and in charge of her care I would suggest you speak with which ever doctor or specialist who is managing her case to find out if this is so and if anythign can be done to improve it. If she is struggling in school it might also be an idea to check if the educational program is suitable for her needs.

Hello 

My sister is 12 years old and she still wets the bed. Ive read a few articles but they say i shouldnt give her liquids a few hours before her bed time. but without feeding her by the bottle with milk, i cant feed her medicine. I find it hard at times when she struggles through school and me and my brother along with his girlfriend we try all the time to get her to bed to get her meds and to go to bed, but its either we force the meds down and shed cry but stop when we give her her dummy ( pacifier). I dont noe what to do. she wets her bed but i cant figure out whats going rong. 

Help! 

thnk u all =]

Hi Cat there is no need to feel either ashamed or disgusted - afterall you wouldn't feel either if you developed any other medical problem. And that is what that is. I would adivse you to go back to your GP - the good one, who helped with the infections. It is possible that the reciurring infectiosn may have caused somg problem or other but either way, there is medication available to help.

I have wet my bed since childhood. Virtually every night until age 15 or 16 then down to 4-5 nights a week since. Wrll actually sometimes I will go 20-30 days in a row without a dry night. Unfortunately I didn't discover until 5 years ago, after eurodynamic testing I have a neurogenic bladder from unknown causes which basically explaines why I need to go to the bathroom 20+ times a day, often a little too late, and why I am rarely dry at night. I wish I had known this when I was 15 or even younger which would have made the stress and embarassment of dealing with bedwetting and pant wetting as a teenager. Five years ago I started wearing disposable briefs during the day to go along with the diapers I have always worn at night. Life has become so much easier since I never have to think about, and deal with the multiple urges to go during the day and can go 12+ hours without changing, which is great. Of course knowing the root cause has made the psychological issues related to this just go away. My bladder has the response ability of a young child which is just the way it is. I no longer have to suffer from slightly wet pants and stress related to that which was my pattern in life. Fortunately I have not had any skin problems related to the constant diaper use either so all is well

I am a 51 year old man who has never wet the bed in his whole life (that I can remember).  About a month ago I started a couple of times a week.  I drink alcohol (2-3 drinks) and take sedatives and/or painkillers as needed.  Does anyone think that the cause of this is this combination causes me not to wake up when I need to.  I would surely appreciate some feedback!

maryann, there is no need to suffer with this at all. Just becuase you weren't treated for it as a child doesn't mean you have to continue to sufer with it, See your GP, there is medication for it and get referred to a urologist if you need to.

It has been a life long issue with me. I do not wet my  pants during the day (o'k once or twice a year when I cannot make the toilet on time), but I have never been dry at night for more than a week or two. I am in my late 40's and still wet my bed most nights. I am single - not a surprise. When young my Mum kept a brown rubber  sheet under my normal sheet. Now I have a plastic mattress cover and wear my normal panties. I only wear disposable nappies or pads with a plastic knickers/panties if staying away with friends or in a hotel.

You could have him cut down on what he drinks or maybe have him wear diapers & rubber pants when he is drinking. Where does he wet the most? In bed? In his pants? If he wets the bed about the only thing you could do is to have a rubber sheet on the bed & change the linen in the morning.

I good friend of mine (I will call him "Paul") has a habit of wetting himself after drinking and it is becoming embarrassing for him and us. What can Paul do? What can we do?

We can't curb his excessive drinking habit, but would like to avoid these little accidents if possible. Any recommendations?

# 139

HiI vampire. When you return the clothes to him you could use that to brook a discussion. Chuck a lot of us ladies have protective mattess covers for menstrual reasons, so that is quite commonplace even in people who do not experience enurisis. Even if you don't have a problem with it the fact remains that it is a medical problem and is not something he should have to live with as medical help is available.

# 138

Posted: 21/05/2009 19:31

Do you use protection on the bed when he drinks too much? Is he aware that you have plastic or rubber sheet on bed? You probably need to discuss this problem with him in the near future. Let him know wether you have a problem with his wetting or not. I you don't have a problem with him then let him know that he shouldn't have a problem with his wetting.

# 137

He never took the wet clothes with him, they're still at my place and I washed them. He had a change of clothes...when he woke up there was no evidence that anything had happened. He's not acting like he thinks I know anything. I think I should just...not...say anything...?...unless it happens again? I dont want him to be uneasy around me or think that I think less of him...because I dont...I would want to help him, but it's so early in our relationship, I'm not sure if could deal with that. He's an extremely shy guy and I'm his first gf...ever. meh.

# 136

Hi Vampire, it seems that heavy drinkigbis almost certainoy one of the reasons in ois case and the sensible thing to do would be to cut back on it but anyway, regardless of how much alcohol was still in his system when it happened, he probably most likely does have a fuzzy memory of being out of bed and someone helping hi with bhis clothes even tho he may have no memory of wetting itself. When he took his wet clothes with him, he has doubtless realised to some extent tho'. CC

Okay, so what do I do if my boyfriend wet the bed...but I'm not sure if he knows he did it or not? When it happened, he had been drinking before we went to bed and he kinda...passed out. I had to knock him off the bed to clean up. Then I put him back on the bed and took his wet clothes off of him. When he got up the next morning to go home, he didnt say anything about it and neither did I. I'm not sure if I should bring it up...or just wait until it happens again. I dont want to embarrass him. We've only been dating about 2 weeks, he's 20, which is 2 years younger than me. How do I go about this....?

Hi Lee, you're welcome, but to excuse it by saying it as a different era is to use time and ignorance to excuse cruelty, I'm not sure how much you know about Irelands past but suffice to say a lot of tings were done in the past by those in authority who tried to give excuses like sayign it was a different time with differnet circumstances etc but nothign can ever excuse cruelty. Actually in the 7';s there was medication to treat it. I am not familiar with Ridilin but I do know that desmotab existed and was perscribed for others. Similarly just becuase parents beat / hit chiuldren then does not and cannot ever make hitting / spanking a child the right thing to do - regardless of circumstances. Violence is a continuum with no justification- regardless of the era or the excuses. There is an interesting thread on here on that too. Your stepfather left you with a legacy ewhich YOU have to now deal with not him. Take care of yourself, CC

Thank you Anonymous for saying what I could not. No,, my stepfather did not and does not know about my adult situation. It was a different era. You know this. There was no Ridilin and such. We got our ass spanked and that was that. Which I do believe in but in some instances a different approach might have been wiser. Again thank you, Lee.

# 132

Hi Lee, what was done to yu was absolutely delorable. It was a form of cruelty fir wich there is no excuse except pure ignorance on the part of the adult perpetrarot and serves NO purpose other than to traumatise the child and make the problem far worse. Does your stepfather know that you now have an adult bed-wetting problem  - no thanks to the emotional stress you endured as a child due to what is a MEDICAL PROBLEM. would an adult also impose emotional truama on a child for havign the flu or breaking an arm??

I know for a fact that my enurisis was toitally due to emotional stress as a child and the idiot Dr. (this was the 70-'s too) said I would "grow out of it" and was too ignornat to even perscribe the widely availoalbe medication to treat it. He didn't even recognise what caused it and so I had to deal with the emotional aftermath of it as well which in a vicius circle made it even worse.

Follow up post...  I was ridiculed as a child for bedwetting.  My step-father made me go outside in a diaper. This was like 1977,, lots of kids playing outside. I never really thought about it before but that was pretty traumatic. Bed wetter child and extra stress??,,,, maybe it is tied to adult probs.   I dont know,,, not a Dr.  Thanks for the extra time...   Lee USA

Hi all.  Just a note,,,  I am an adult bed wetter as well as a child bed wetter.  Since adulthood it has been alcohol related.  Very embarassing too. I know.  I also know that I should drink less, but trying hard with that one. Luckily or unluckily,,  I have been alone for a few years.  I have had time to take notes without embarassment. Stress is a big factor!! But not the only one. I probably have sleep problems too but not sure.   I know that when I drink I saw very large logs!!!! Snore badly!! (Sleep apnea?)  I dont know!!  But,,,,,  If I have food in my stomach before I go to bed I NEVER wet it.  It is doing nothing for my boyish figure (yeah right) but it works I swear!. So my advice is,,,  If you have a problem and dont want to spend lots of money trying to get it fixed,,,,,,If you are going to drink and have a problem like mine,,,,,,,Put something in your tummy before you get too messed up to do so. As late as possible. Like I said not great for your waistline but good for not having to change bedclothes.!!!!  Lee in USA

I have a very similar problem to everyone who consumes alcohol and then waking up to wet bed. My favorite beer is Coors Light and Coors Original and everytime with no failure I wet the bed unless I stay up all night going to the rest room no longer feeling buzzed then I have a good chance at not wetting the bed. Recently, I started to drink Miller Light and 3/4 times i got wasted with it, I did NOT wet the bed. Can anyone explain?
