Re: Re: bed wetting-without meds

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My son is dx ADHD, SPD, and Aspergers.  He had stopped wetting the bed last

fall-he is 8.  I was so thrilled that I didn't have to buy good nites

anymore!  This past week-spring break-he has wet the bed almost every night. 

One day last week he had an accident on the way to school-we have a long drive

to the school where I teach and he was asleep.  Is this a normal type of

setback?  Maybe he is over tired?  We have had no change in diet and he is not

on any meds.  But he has been really tired?-Thanks, ka

We just started antivirals a few weeks ago as well and this happened to us too.

Even a few daytime 'mini' accidents- more when we increased the dose after the

first week- i asked the office about this and they called back saying Dr.G said

it was die off...

Has anyone had the same experience or have any suggestions?

Every Christmas break and spring break we have bed wetting. I get up for work at

four or five and check him, he is dry. It generally happens around seven. During

school he gets up a 6:20, his system is on a schedule and his alarm clock is

off. During these breaks it is not unusual to have him sleep until 9-10. Now I

wake him at 5 and send him to bathroom.

Bill,

thank you.  My son has such trouble getting to sleep....I had been worried that

if I woke him, he wouldn't be able to get to sleep again.  but this is worth a

try....thank you, ka

The other thing that happens is that when Connor is in school he lacks physical

exercise he sleeps poorly. It is about academics until three and and then an

hour or so of burning calories/playground. Then Homework, dinner and living room

time. and he tends to embrace the computer and electronics. If I am available 

as opposed to his support people (no aftercare) I get him up and out. Bike,

swimming, just burning off energy. When that happens he tends to sleep early,

sleeps soundly from 9 - 3-4  AM and gets him self up in the middle of the night

and goes to the bathroom. If I am not available I put him to bed on schedule 

after homework with  little exercise,and he is restless for several hours. When

he does reach deep sleep it is much latter and he wets the bed in the early

morning because it took longer for him to get rested even during the school

year.

Getting him out and worn out allows him to recover, rest wise, faster and his

level of deep sleep seems to be earlier in the night and he can control his

bladder in the very early morning.

Regardless I have found if he is left to entertain himself (Breaks or School) he

rests poorly early and sleeps later and bed wets. If I run him ragged he sleeps

soundly and gets him self up for bathroom issues.

During breaks he is less scheduled and spends  more tome on computer/TV gameb

oy if I am too busy to make him get exercise. Hence wet sheets on breaks,

hi Bill,

this is so true...we are much more active in the summer, and my son sleeps much

better.  (i do as well!)  During the school year, he gets so worked

up...sometimes he is just starting to let out his anxiety about school at

bedtime.  By the time he tells me about whatever it was, it is time for bed,

and then he gets anxious about the next day....i am so jealous of these

homeschool moms!  On the one hand, I am grateful that i do teach in the public

schools.  Our summers and breaks go like this-first there is a difficult

transition, where he does loads of stimming and gets really wound up.  He

scared me last summer, when he read a catalog so many times, and would not allow

me to change what i said on each page.....but then his OT told me to do a

picture schedule...we did, and every day we either went swimming or hiking. 

With that kind of heavy exercise and the structure of the picture schedule, he

did great! 

Then back to school, where he is supposed to learn-hah.  His teacher feels the

picture schedule is ridiculous because he can read.  She totally does not get

Aspergers.  She thinks he would have no problems if I out him on meds for the

ADHD...but that is not hte whole problem.  Anyway. we are changing schools next

year, so maybe we will get something better...like finally services!!!!!-thanks

for listening, ka

My son wore the pullup good nights until he was about 14, and then it stopped. 

He wouldn't wear them tho until he was nine, so there were a lot of wet sheets

and covers.  It ran in our family.  I chose not to use meds as he was on so

many as it was.
