Yeah..Good for nothing!! lol

Dear friends
What goes in must come out! As mentioned before I limit my liquid intake after 6pm. I also avoid teas and juices. I have noticed lately that eating prior to going to bed effects night time frequency of trips to the john. I think bladder control is related to PD. I think it is listed as a side effects of sinemet.
I try to hydrate in the mornings and when away from home I have made a mental map of all the public restrooms that are available. Any time when I’m out and near a facility I empty my bladder even when I don’t have a strong urge. This has helped eliminate the uncontrolled urge to go and accidents, but as they say pee happens.
Several years ago a friend of mine gave me a urinal that has a female attachment that connects to the spout. This was marketed as a portable urinal. I don’t know if they are still available but here is the info to order one.

I have a problem with being able to empty my bladder. Once I had to go to the ER in the middle of the night because I could not pee at all and was in a lot of pain. Now I have learned how to self-cath- not fun. Swimming seems to help relax my bladder muscle and I have to make frequent trips to the bathroom when I am at the pool.

Does anyone else have this problem? It seems to be more typical of MS than PD. My neuro suggested once that I might have MS and PD, but my MRI's never show any sign of MS.
