I wet right through my pullup so I want to know if you can buy drynites in newliskeard yet or not because every morning I wake up with wet sheets my mom keeps telling me it is in my control to stop but when I try and stop I never succeed I am also really upset because my mom told me I couldn't go to camp because of it I just really want to stop wetting the bed my family doctor even tried putting me on medication but the medication didn't work at all I really don't know what to do about it
Hi Shaelynn – it’s lovely to hear from you again! In North America DryNites are marketed as GoodNites but they work in much the same. There are a few things you can do to try and reduce the amount of urine you produce over night: avoid foods or drinks high in caffeine (this includes cola as well as chocolate), minimize how much you drink just before bed and make sure you fully empty your bladder just before you go to sleep. The most important thing to know about bedwetting is that it is not your fault – it is not the same as daytime wetting where children have conscious control over their bladders. Perhaps your mum is hoping that by stopping you going to camp that you will suddenly stop wetting the bed. This would be great if you had control over what was happening at night, but unfortunately you don’t. There are a number of different treatments available to treat bedwetting other than medication – I would strongly recommend that you and your mum meet with your doctor to discuss these or be referred to someone who has more experience in this area. Please do not hesitate to contact me again if you have further questions.
Regards,
Dr Cathrine
