Made an appointment with the urologist for next week. Will ask him to give me an RX for the desmopressin .1mg tablets. Was up all last night, voided more than 2 liters and was up probably 15 or more times. This is so odd and predictable, 3 or 4 nights of good sleep with just 2 or 3 times up and less than a half liter of void, then another marathon all nighter that doesn't ease up until 8AM or so, which at least lets me get a few hours of sleep. The desmoressin either works for nocturia or it doesn't. If I get it and I use it for a week or so I'll know if this is a godsend or another dead end.
Although the greeenlight laser turp and bladder neck resection took care of my PVR (last sonogram reading a few weeks ago was just 7cc PVR) and retention problems, and my urgency settled down, the nocturia (nocturnal polyuria) has come back with a vengeance the last three months. The oddest part is I am good for 3 to 4 days in a row and then not, with no real change in diet or exercise or fluid intake. It's like my system goes off the rails 7 or 8 days a month for no discernible reason.
