Bed wetting.

happy35

if your husband is having 3 or 4 cans of lager this doesnt sound enough to me for him to be wetting the bed, i doubt that he is so drunk that he is comatose.

i do think that he should see his GP as soon as possible, but think that the alcohol is not the trigger for his bedwetting if he is drinking this amount every night and only bedwetting every few weeks. it may be that he has a problem where his bladder is not emptying properly or that he is so tired that he is not aware of the signal that he needs to wake up to go to the toilet

He is however drinking well above the safe limit every week and this is something that will have an effect on his health over time, if he doesnt see this as a problem then you could also discuss this with the GP at the same time

I do however know a lot of people who drink 4 cans or a bottle of wine every night, these are people who have good jobs and see this as normal.

in the meantime i would get a camp bed even if it is you who is sleeping on it

good luck, hope it gets sorted out for you quickly

We have a matteress cover, Thankfully our matteress is immaculate because of this. But I have to wash and dry same day to go back on.

Wish they did something where his pee would stay on his side. God this is frustrating, love him to bits I do. What gets me is he is not even drunk. And I make him pee before bed. Then few hours later arghhhhhh

There are Kylie pads. They sit on the top of the sheet, and have flaps which tuck under the mattress, and they absorb the urine - they are mostly dry to the touch - much like a disposable nappy is.

You could get a few of these. Don't use fabric conditioner when you wash them though.

Does your DH take in much fluid the rest of the day?

Just wondered because when we went to the clinic for my DD they asked us to increase the daytime fliuds so her kidney's dialysed enough during the daytime hours and the hormone required for nighttime dry-ness could be secreted in appropriate quantities at the correct time.

Doesn't address the actual alcohol bit though.

Make sure your partner is checked for diabetes, night sweats can be a common symptom.

Your husband has a alcohol problem if he's drinking that much. Really he needs help with this if you wish to have to a husband for much longer.

I think other have addressed what to do about the physical effects.

As can excessive urine.

Night sweats can occur in people having treatment for diabetes mellitus (usually just referred to as 'diabetes'), as they are often caused by low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) during the night, but are not common in untreated diabetes (where your blood sugar is too high, not too low - though you can get low blood sugar with untreated diabetes, it is possible for the whole mechanism that regulates blood sugar to be screwed up).
Night sweats can be a symptom of diabetes insipidus though (it's not related to diabetes mellitus, but the symptoms are similar, I assume once upon a time they thought they were the same condition hence the similar names).

Excessive urination is a symptom of both conditions (as is excessive thirst).

Whatever the cause is, don't ever be fobbed off by a GP saying they can't find an explanation for a symptom, if they can't find out what it is make sure they refer you to a relevant consultant.
