I hope that any responses to Melissa Bernard's request could be posted to the list, as I suspect a number of people will be interested in them. I am also interested in any advice anyone may have for a particular problem. My father, who suffers from PD has great difficulties at night, largely due to urinary frequency. He needs to make frequent trips to the bathroom every night, which can take a great deal of time, since he is often in great difficutly with mobility especially at night. This wears him down, cuts down on up time during the day, and is hard on my mother who has trouble getting back to sleep after helping him. So far he has resisted the idea of a condom catheter. Any other suggestions. One doctor recommended some hemp tea at bedtime, although we have not been able to find it yet. According to the information I have, while the tea made from the hemp oil is legal, the plant of course is not, so it is not easy to find. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
