I think I have a situation and I need help

[seemee]

Hi I am 27 and still bed wetting, it’s not every night but I do, it all started when I was 10 I had stopped bed wetting up until I was 10 and it started I couldn’t understand it, it was when the house for a boarding house and I thought the first day was a mistake but it has not stopped since then, it has limited me that I can’t do sleep overs I am very conscious of my every night I spend outside my mum thinks it’s spiritual and I have not prayed enough, I think I have prayed and fasted but seeing a doctor for things like this are not really common where I am from and so it’s usually termed spiritual, it’s 17 years after I don’t know the cause of my issue and I can’t even date anyone appropriately because I do not know how to communicate that I am 27 and I still bed wet or get myself out of a sleep over I do not know if there is help here but I joined because I think there is, please help me on how to go about this condition of mine

Same. 27yo, bedwetting my entire life, used to come and go in increments.

I researched it and apparently there are several things that apply to me that may apply to you that decreases ADH (Anti-Diuretic Hormone) levels and increases chances of wetting episodes: high salt intake, lemon/lime, and high water intake via fluid.

For the past year and a half, I have stopped drinking lemonade and lemon-lime soda, restricted the amount of salty foods I eat, and substituted the 64oz of daily recommended water intake for a ton of fruit, which can do the job of hydration a lot better. The only liquid I take is during meals so I avoid constipation.

This doesn't work during my periods, and sometimes it's hard for me to stay away from my favorite foods and drinks, but for the most part this helps keep my bed dry and my washer machine open for my actual clothes instead of my sheets everyday.

Hope this helps.

seemee,

It is not clear where you are from, and realistically, it isn't important. It sounds like whether it is normal or not, you need to go see a Doctor about this issue. It sounds like a Doctor can rule out the possibility that it is a spiritual issue.

We each have challenges we face in life. Fasting and prayer to draw closer to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ to receive the strength you need to deal with your challenge is great, but Heavenly Father blessed us with medical technology to improve our lives.

Who knows what a Doctor will tell you? Perhaps you will be dealing with this issue for the rest of your life, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have a life. I am sure there are women out there who would be willing to accept you as you are. They may expect you to wear products to stay dry at night... you should probably consider that for your own peace of mind. It may be that a Doctor can help out in that area as well?

I have different struggles, but I can tell you life is worth living and you need to stop living in fear because you have a medical issue, and get out there and live.

I am a Christian and part of life for EVERYONE, regardless of belief is potential heath problems. Yours and mine, and others on here is the loss of bladder control. Praying about it will help if it's God's will. In my case, it hasn't changed the problem, but it has helped me to deal with the stigma, the stress, the out-of -pocket expense, embarrassment etc.

I was the LAST person on earth that I'd have expected to have this problem, but I see ways I believe He (God) has prepared me to deal with this. To me, a diaper is not the problem, it's the solution, Trust me, this issue is very common. People just don't talk about it. However, with incontinence products available in just about every grocery store, and literally every drug store, the problem is wide-spread.
