Hi My Dad had the same problem but we had bought adult nappies for him. I don't know what it's called but it works the same way as the baby nappies do. So even if your Dad has to go frequently in the night, he would wet the bed. They work for 4-5 hours. Take care Lavanya -----Original Message----- From: karl stark <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: 07 September 2001 05:33 Subject: nightly trips to the bathroom My dad, 82 and a PD patient, is having a problem at night. he's so afraid that he'll wet the bed that he gets up as many as five times a night to urinate. This is pretty hard on my 81-year-old mom who helps him each time and ends up bleary-eyed the next day. He already takes sinemet & requip. Is there anything (pharamaceutical or otherwise) that might help them? Any suggestions would be much appeciated.
