Hi, I know what you are going through and how awful it feels. I personally had this problem as well.

When I was in my late 20's I began to have 'accidents' in my sleep. I at that time had no control over my bladder during sleep at night or even when I would take a nap in the day. It caused me a great deal of distress.

I know too of the Depends and such things for loss of bladder control and how it feels to have to wear a Diaper to bed when an adult. I also remember how I did not dare spend the night at anyone's house because of wetting the bed during sleep.

This for me went on for about two years, I take alot of medications and was wondering if you take medication of any type. I know after 2 years of this around 28 years old it began I was switched around on medications and then it stopped and have not had the problem since.

They did put me on a drug called DDAVP, I am not really exactly sure what it is or does only since they doctors changed my psychiatric medications I do not have to take that anymore to keep from wetting the bed. It did help me though when I was still haveing problems.

It is some kind of medication you take about an hour before you go to bed and then no more fluids after taking it. It reduced the number of 'accidents' I did have at night. Sometimes none for weeks. It they told me some how stops my like system to not produce urine as much so much.

I hope you can talk to your doctor about this, I know it is embarrasing, only maybe they can help you and find out why this is happening and help you to have a 'dry bed' every night. I know it is difficult to tell people and stuff, only it should be talked about to the Doctors cause it also could be a symptom of something else or another type of disorder.

Hang in there and I just wanted you to know that i understand how difficult this is to go through.

Take Care,
