    • About Me

      I joined this site because I've struggled with primary nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting) since childhood, due to an underdeveloped bladder. At present I wet the bed maybe once or twice a month on average. I've been married almost a year and a half now. My wife and a couple of close friends know about my problem and are very supportive, but it's still hard for me to deal with at times. Looking forward to meeting others and giving and receiving support!

    • Interests

      I love doing anything outdoors, especially camping, hiking, and experiencing the great northern wilds. I'm also an avid long distance runner and have run marathons, and would like to do a triathlon someday but need to work on the swimming part! I also enjoy reading, playing chess, and anything else that keeps my mind active. I'm a Christian, but open to talking to others of all faith (or non-faith) backgrounds.

    • Close Bedwetting

      I was a nightly bedwetter until I was 12 and have still had occasional problems ever since, due to an underdeveloped bladder.

      Treatments

      Diapers Not Working
      I struggled with bedwetting through college and used Goodnites disposable underwear. They helped keep the bed dry, but the downside was that over time my body seemed to get used to sleeping through and wetting in the diaper instead of waking up to go to the bathroom when my bladder was full... and so after using them consistently for awhile I found myself wetting much more often than before. I kept some around for really stressful times (final exam week!) but not good results for regular use.
    • Close Insomnia

      I used to have this problem worse when I was in school and under constant stress... but I still have trouble sleeping from time to time.

      Treatments

      Counting Sheep Not Working
      Are you serious? ;)
      Lavender Not Working
      Tried it in tea form, never did a thing for me (except unhelpfully fill my bladder after a small fraction of the night).
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      Often helps if I focus on something that distracts my mind from thoughts that keep me awake. Sometimes have trouble keeping focus though.
      Melatonin Not Working
      Never did a thing for me.
      Music Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes helps me to relax and stop thinking too much.
      Reading Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes helps, other times I just get sort of dazed and unable to focus, but not sleepy.
      Restoril Working / Worked
      Did well at getting me back into a semi-regular pattern after I hadn't slept more than 2 hours a night in a month. Stopped after about 3 weeks to avoid it becoming habit forming. It exacerbated my other sleep issue (enuresis) somewhat also.
    • Open Urinary Incontinence

      My bladder has always been much smaller than normal for my age, and as a result I've had trouble staying dry at night for pretty much all my life. When I was younger I also had frequent problems during the day with making it to the bathroom in time.
