My son still wets the bed

Iam just waiting for my daughter to stop.At least now they have Goodnight's and the store brands that are cheaper of Sleep Pants.It save's on laundry,changing sheets and kids clothes.They did not have them when my son was younger and my sister.I found the medicine to be a waste of money and it was $125 a month and that was in the late 1980's.It is kind of a pain,while your actually going thru it,but you said your son had other conditions that sound worse to have to deal with.I guess the only way to look at it is there are people worse off then us. God bless,take care and good luck.

Thanks for that. I have been afraid of giving him medicine for it. There are allergies at our house including some medicines so I try as much as possible to stay away for fear of a serious reaction. I do the can't drink after 8 thing too. It is reassuring that others do experience this and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks for the best response vote.

Thanks, we have checked for dyslexia. My sister has it. We know that he has damage to the right side of his brain that is the cause of his challenges. My other childern don't have anything like it. Thanks for your kind words!

Well,my son that bed wet has partial dyslexia.His father has dyslexia.Is fourty four and can't read a word.He did not bed wet.My sister bed wet and was not dyslexic.

I agree with you ESKARENA1 ! It is also very important to get a professional to have a talk to your son, sometimes these sorts of issue can be psychological...... Imagine if your son has to go to school camp one day, he would be so embarassed if he wets his bed, his classmates may laugh at him and his ego may go way down. I hope you child recovers from this problem, it has to be looked at seriously. My cousin is at an age of 3 and she doesnt even need nappies at night when she sleeps, she just goes to the toilet before she sleep, thats all... hope it all turns out fine for you and your child and that he/she does not have any serious problems......

I have heard of them but haven't tried it yet. Thanks I will look into it.

I think my son is very similar to this. He is very active throughout the day and sleep very heavy. I bomb could go off and he would still sleep. He has felt stress over the other problems and there is a strong feeling on his part to be better than his younger brother. I try to let him know that everyone has their own talents and gives and he is not alone. He is very smart and is great in science which I am terrible at. Makes him feel good and it is true! LOL

Yeah I tried that too but it didn't make any difference. He seems to be improving the last couple months with only a couple of accidents.

Good luck with your appointment and I hope you find a solution. It is so frustrating for them. I see that Clay wants to be successful so much but sometimes he fails and I feel so bad for him. But lately Clay is getting better for some reason he has kinda grown a lot in a few months just out of the blue. So I am very excited about it. He still has the odd night of wetting but has stayed dry most nights now for about 6 weeks. Knock on wood! HEHE I do find it hard to get involved in support groups because I don't feel I fit in with most moms there. Many are severally disabled and have many more challenges than my son or have accepted that their childern will always need help. Though I have been told that he will always have challenges I don't feel that way and don't raise him that way. I don't want him to feel that there are limits to what he can achieve in life because he can do it. He doesn't give up and neither will I. Good Luck and I wish you and you daughter much success!

Yes I do wake him up through the night. He is a heavy sleeper and sometimes he can't go. He is also very heavy now which makes it hard to get him in there. It works for a while but then he reverts back to younger behavior. That is also what happens with other challenges he has. Like his speak. I am interested about clinical trials so thanks!

Yup we do that thanks
