bedwetting

[Guest guest]

Re: Bedwetting, I'm a 46 year old Mom (merc poisoning, etc) my incontinence

stopped as well as frequent urination at night after introduction of B12

shot/Magnesium. It seems that the magnesium definitely helped. My 2 cents worth.

Major improvement for me. My son's bedwetting stops when he takes his metagenics

vitamin, has lots of b's/mag. When I ran out in a matter of about three weeks he

was wetting again. Reintroduced his chewable vitamins and again within a few

days no more wetting in bed or at school. Definitely the chewable muti-vitamin.

Peace, Alison

I have found that increasing my son's Tenex dosage worked....There is also a nasal spray (taken at bedtime) that worked along with limiting fluids, and taking him to the bathroom when I headed to bed. laura (the lurker) 10 yr old AS son, that occasionally wets the bed now"walk1989@..." <walk1989@...> wrote: My 8 year old Aspie/SID still wets the bed, he is a heavy sleeper, too.

There are two things that worked for us when Preston had this issue at the start of lithium. 1) depends. They come in all sizes and are 10 times better than any child pull up. They are for adults. 2) DDAVP nose spray. As you pdoc. for a script. This is the best invention to date! 2 sprays in each nostril & we get a dry night. We tried to switch to this in a pill form.......does NOT work. Get the spray. We do still try to limit his intake after dinner. I have to watch him like a hawk or he will guzzle milk, water, anything. That darn lithium makes him sooooo thirsty.

Preston did not have this problem before the lithium.

My Aspie son wet the bed until he was 12, although he was up and down

all night, he just couldn't make the decision between going to the

bathroom and going back to sleep. When he was dx and we started him

on Aderall the bedwetting stopped almost instantly. Hasn't wet the

bed since. I don't know if it was the meds or just coincedence. We

tried all the bedwetting meds and they did nothing.

You might consider waking him up a few times during the night. We had a dd who did this and she was a heavy sleeper. When she was 6, my dh decided to wake her up every 2 hours and take her to the bathroom. After a few weeks, she started waking up on her own and we didn't have the problem any longer. Not sure if it will work for anyone else.

My aspie son is now 14 and he used to wet the bed. We used a

waterproof mattress liner (which makes a slight noise when he turned

but he got used to it) and woke him up during the night. He did stop

at around 8.

Oh my, oh my! Haldol can have some pretty nasty side effects. My ds was on it when he was about 16. He had a dystonic reaction so severe that it dislocated his jaw. He wound up with an ambulance ride to the emergency room. I'm told (by emergency room personnel) that dystonic reactions can be avoided by taking Benedryl along with the Haldol. You might want to ask your son's pdoc about that.LizOn Jun 1, 2007, at 11:30 PM, Gratton wrote:my son takes imipram for bedwetting and it works great.  He also has just started taking Haloperidol 0.5 mg twice a day , has anyone had any experience good or bad with this drug for behavior? thanks brandi

My daughter is 9 and seems to have regressed, yet again. Not only do I

need to remind her to slow down and think when speaking, but she has

started having multiple days during the week where she wets the bed.

She was on desmopressin a while ago (kindergarten-first grade) with

limited positive reults. I was wondering what other parents of

children with apraxia have experienced, and what has worked for them.

She does not feel the wetness so will sleep in it night after night

unless checked. I am not sure WAHT to do. HELP!

[Guest guest]

My son was also a bedwetter until this year, he is 10 1/2. The pediatrician

recommended the potty pager from living ideas. It vibrates at the slightest

drip to help wake the child and it really helped. He would also sleep in it

all night. Hang in there!!

I know it runs in families. My mom wet the bed on and off until her

first period, my brother the same amount until his voice started to

crack.

New mattress or bedding? Antimony (flame retardant often used in bedding)

causes some people to have a difficult time getting up at night, particularly

people who sleep on their stomach (as they breathe in more of the antimony.

Rose, thankfully he does not have constipation issues. He does not

have any liquids after 6:30pm (lights out is at ten). We tried the

alarm, but it caused too many issues with sleep. He does go potty at

9 when getting ready for bed, and most nights gets back up right

around 10 and goes again. At this point, he's taking Desmopressin

before bed, and wearing pullups. If/when he wets THROUGH the pullup,

he does indeed take care of his own bedding (as do all my other

kiddos if they wet their bed). His neurologist said it's nothing to

worry about, eventually he will stay dry at night, but the

pediatrician has had us trying everything possible to help him

accomplish it sooner.

, you are doing everything you can possible do. and T.G. constipation isn't an issue... I'm sure its just as uncomfortable for the child as it is for us parents. I was surprised how many different types of night time pull ups there are out there. some don't even look like pull ups. (great for sleep overs) this must be a concern for so many families. My kids aren't on any meds - never were, and had accidents, but refuse to wear pull ups. So I was told to let them change their beds. don't know if that's what worked or they just grew out of it. I don't even know what caused it. Rose <k_emert1979@...> wrote: Rose, thankfully he does not have constipation issues. He does not have any liquids after 6:30pm (lights out is at ten).

He wouldn’t by chance be drinking

milk right before bedtime?

Our son recently stopped bedwetting after

the doctor had gave us orders to watch his intake to keep him from gaining

weight. We cut out the nightly ritual of milk and cheerios. Magically, he

quit wetting the bed. He can drink water, lemonade or even soda, but unless he

drinks too much soda, he still doesn’t have an accident. My husband and I

tested this theory and ironically, the nights we drank milk before bedtime, we

had to get up in the middle of the night to pee.

Just a thought, ya know, what works for

one….and this trick didn’t come from a doctor. At any age so far,

most will tell you they will quit wetting around the age the parents do. All I

know I was old enough to do my own laundry.

The urologist we take our son to had him go to the bathroom and then she did an ultrasound to see how much if any urine was left. He was half full still and his bladder wasn't like a water balloon like they are supposed to be but more like a soccer ball. She said it was from years of going only until the urge was gone so he is going through retraining. He has to go to the bathroom every two hours and try to pee for two solid minutes so he empties completely even though he doesn't feel like he needs to. No accidents day or night since we started. We go back in a month to see if his bladder is back to normal.

My 9 year old Aspbergers son wears Goodnights every night and they are full every morning. He doesn't drink anything after 7pm and he uses the toilet right before bed. We've talked with the pediatrician about it and she felt it was normal, but after our persistence, sent him to a pediatric urologist. They confirmed that he is perfectly normal. The pediatrician said it was hereditary and unrelated to his other issues. He just has a bad combination of A - a small capacity bladder and B - a bladder that doesn't wake him up when it needs to release. She said it would only happen with time - no alarms no waking him up...just time. It's extremely frustrating, but also a relief to know that there's nothing more I can do for him. I have a toddler who will likely be out of diapers before him!

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to say thanks for sharing this. My almost 6 year old Aspie wears

Goodnights, also. My NT daughter (3 1/2) and her peers are all finishing

up/mastering the potty. I believe it is just hereditary (apparently my

husband's whole family were bedwetters) & it will just take time. It is hard to

see younger kids passing him by so effortlessly, though. It is comforting to

know others are out there.

Thanks!

My almost 8 year old Aspie also wears Goodnights. He has also been diagnosed with ADHD, and he basically has two speeds - turbo and sleep. His doctor told us that bedwetting is common in kids like , partly because when they fall asleep they are REALLY asleep, and totally oblivious to everything including their own body signals. The doctor doesn't feel that we should worry about it right now, that he will most likely outgrow this phase, and we are okay with that for right now. In the grand scheme of things, we have so many other issues to work on that we are comfortable taking a "wait a little" attitude with the bedwetting.PattiFrom: tsnoo1 <tsnoo1@...> Sent: Tue, July 20, 2010 9:42:19 PMSubject: ( ) Re: bedwetting
