Re: LDN - bladder question

[Guest guest]

I've been on LDN 4.5 for a month now and if I do wake up at night sometimes I have a small urgency to urinate but it's so small I usually can get back to sleep till morning. Kim

[Guest guest]

If I wake up at night I usually go ahead and get up and pee. Even though I

don't NEED to I figure since I'm awake I might as well. I was having so

much trouble sleeping for such a long long time I just don't want anything

to wake me up once I'm out. So if I am awakened by a noise outside or

whatever I go ahead and wander in to the bathroom... I never wake up

anymore just to go to the bathroom. No full midnight bladder demanding

attention.

Hi I wanted to say Hi but never snuck that in yet So a big Hi to Dr. Sager and any others lurking in the background, feel free to put in your two bits worth everyone.

Also just wanted to say that after I found ldn. when I woke up at night I was good until I rolled over and then it got urgent, otherwise I could have slept right through the night with no problems.

The same applies even today if I am sitting anu length of time I have to pee real bad upon getting up but while sitting I have no problem, now this urgency thing is continuing to fade away as time passes and even this morning I was able to last for two hours after arising at five before I was in need of a pit stop.

It seems the longer I am on ldn the better it gets,

It is only 3:30 so I don't know if the transdermal ldn worked yet but at this point I am not going anywhere.

more later

Reg.

For starters, my user name "Rosemist" is the color of my old van. Itwas an unusual color which was a favorite of mine! My birthname is Gail. I know that many of you have had a remarkable change in your bladdersymptoms especially at night. My question is if you do wake up at all,do you have a sensation that you have to urinate? I have been on LDN for 1 month, (1.5 for 3 wks, 3 for 1 wk and 4.5 for2 days). Once I fall asleep, I wake up just about every 2 hours-usually from a deep sleep lots of vivid dreams. I do urinate and thengo back to sleep pretty easily. I wonder if I wake up and then feelthe need to pee or do I feel the urge and then wake up? It is likely abit of both! Is my body just so used to waking up that it is resistantto change. There have been a few nights recently where I slept 4-5hours and did not have to pee even after I woke up. I attribute thatto eating foods that have a higher sodium content. Having Sushi worksbetter than Detrol ever did for me! Most days I wake up well restedbecause I go to bed around 9:30 during the week. Since on LDN, it feels that the urgency is less even if the frequencyat night has not changed. During the day, I believe that the frequencyand urgency is better. The jury is still out on how LDN is affecting me.I appreciate any insights/suggestions. Thanks!
