I really need to know because searching this forum seems to indicate that it is not a big problem for anyone but me and Laura. Can that be so?
It is a darned big problem for me. Every night I generate one to two liters and am up as many as a half dozen times. Since walking is so chancy I use a plastic urinal so am keenly aware.
When meds start to work, the bladder starts before the legs, so I have to be very careful as to when I go out. And if at home I am chained to the jug. It is a real drag on the QOL.
And I assumed that that was just a sinemet extra but now have doubts.

Hi Rick,
I'm thinking things that maybe aren't PD related.
Had your prostate checked lately?
Are you on any anti hypertensive drugs etc? They can often contain diuretic type properties.
Maybe restrict fluids after a certain time in the evening to help with nocturia?
Then again if you've gone from off to on before settling down for the night the need to empty your bladder might be more obvious when you do come on.
Anyway I envy you blokes with your urinals! lol
