Also, I do have an enlarged prostate. When it started, I checked some web sites on incontinence which indicated that Parkinson's Disease (and/or the medications; you can't easily separate the effects) does lead to such symptoms. You really should see a urologist. There are things that can be done, even without prostate involvement.
