Hi Kim,
It can be frustrating to not know what is causing a condition such as incontinence/bed wetting. One way to cope is knowing that you have spoken with doctors, and ruled out the serious causes. Stress, emotions and hormones can all create real symptoms (not just incontinence) yet be difficult to detect or treat medically. That is where the process of eliminating serious causes first comes in. We all want to fix a problem when we see it, unfortunately that is not always possible and sometimes we must settle for managing it, as frustrating as that can be.
For me, the frustration comes from knowing the cause (nerve damage), but there being no treatment.
