My wife, diagnosed 28 yrs ago, DBS 10.5 yrs ago, wears depends at night and NO pressure sores or other problems. So night she does wake me up and we get to the toilet and other nights we just get there, swap the wet one of a dry one and back to bed for the much neede sleep.

DEAR RAY, WHAT DO OTHER PARKINSON MEN AND WOMEN DO ABOUT THE URINE INCONTENANCE PROBLEM DURING THE NIGHT HOURS, IN PARTICULAR---TWO DOCTORS HAVE SAID "NO" TO THE EXTERNAL CATATHER AND ANOTHER DOCTOR AND CAREGIVER HAS SAID "NO" TO DIAPERS, DUE TO PRESSURE SORES, AT NIGHT???? I KNOW HE DOES NOT HAVE A BLADDER INFECTION OR KIDNEY PROBLEM--I KNOW -IT'S PARKINSON AND JUST BEING TOO SLOW TO GET UP TO GET TO HIS CHAIR SIDE URINAL OR THE BATHROOM, AT NIGHT WHEN HIS BRAIN WAKES HIM UP AND TELLS HIM HE NEEDS TO URINATE-----BUT IF THE DOCTORS ARE SAYING "NO" TO EITHER THE EXTERNAL CATATHER OR THE DIAPERS---------WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO? WHAT DO YOU HEAR FROM THE OTHER PARKINSON PAITENTS THAT HAVE THIS EVIDENTLY FAIRLY--COMMON PROBLEM WITH LATE TERM PARKINSON? THANKS, MARGARET In a message dated 6/18/2013 11:00:09 P.M.
