I'm a 35 year old female. I have a 15yr old and a 5yr old. I'm also engaged to be married. I've been a bed wetter for as long as I can remember.This is very embarrassing for me. I've been dealing with this since I was a child. My dad also suffered frm this as an adult. It's not something that's easy to talk about. I'm 35yrs old and my 5 yr old has better control than me. It makes me angry, embarrassed, and ashamed. I took meds as a child but my mom stopped me from taking them, she didn't want me to become dependent. My mom used to scream at me, and get angry. That didnt help at all, I used to feel like a loser. Never really going to sleepovers. Some nights are better than others, but it's a problem that needed to be addressed. I found a dr in my area and had a urine dynamics test done. It turns out that I have sensitive nerves, that causes me to use the bathroom constantly. I was prescribed meds, and will soon start taking them. Hopefully this will end the bedwetting and the constant running to the bathroom. It took alot of encouragement from my fiancé, to finally see a dr. And now I feel somewhat relived that it's something that can be fixed. If there's any advice that I could give to anyone, is to go to a specialist. Yes bedwetting is embarrassing and definitely not a subject that anyone wants to talk abt as an adult, but there is help out there. I cried in Dr's office, just talking about it, but I'm so happy that I finally took that step to get the help that I need.
I've had the best sleep ever since starting the meds. Not worrying abt bedwetting. It's definitely a relief.
