So I'm about to be 23 and I'm unsure what else to do about my overactive bladder. I always had problems during the day and nighttime as a kid and when I grew up like middle school age it became just nighttime. During the day I will feel like I have to go so bad to the point where I could have an accident and only pee out 100cc (400cc is the normal amount for a full bladder). In my urodynamics test she stated the obvious that my bladder was contracting when it wasn't supposed to. At night when I moved to college I wet the bed a couple of times a month. I moved back home for my gap year before returning to school and now I am wetting the bed multiple times a week again. I have tried a number of medications since I was a kid, have tried random alarms throughout the night, and have tried moisture alarm therapy. Nothing has seemed to work and my doctor recommends I try botox to help with my bladder muscles contracting at the wrong time. I don't see any pattern with what I do and what may cause me to wet certain nights. But when I go on vacations/sleep with my boyfriend, I have no issues wetting the bed and sleep through the night and wake up to pee early in the morning. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
