okay. this is so crazy for me but i actually wet the bed last night. i have never done this before- not even when i was a little kid. i noticed that ever since i started 6mp in august that i pee way more than i used to. my bladder also fills up a lot quicker and i just have to go immediately. has 6mp done this to any of you?? my mom gave my nurse a call and she said it's not the 6mp because it isn't on the list of known side effects. i've been tracking my peeing patterns though and it definitely increased after starting this. next time i get my bloodwork done, i'm bringing in a urine sample so they can test for any abnormalities.

but anyway, i'm praying that i won't pee in my bed tonight and that it was a one time thing!

bananagirl, I notice I pee a lot more since being on 6mp. It seems to have calmed but when I first started it, it was terrible, I peed every hour or two. Now, things seem to be nearly back to normal. I usually do get up to pee once in the night (which I hate) but I haven't peed the bed luckily. I hope you're able to wake up in the future. Another thing I notice since being on 6mp is that I have very vivid dreams. Maybe you dreamt that you were on the toilet peeing and you peed??

bananagirl,

To me that would be a signal that you'll need to monitor your kidney function and Liver too - more closely,no?

maybe get to the doctor to be checked you don't have a slight UTI.

Try Kegel exercises as well...maybe that can help to strengthen the muscles in that area.

Definitely let the doc know...

Yes. It sounds like a medical issue. You should let your doctor know.

Hi bananagirl! I wet the bed a few months ago and I have no idea why. I'm 27 and haven't done that since probably I was 3 or 4 and even then I only remember it happening a couple times. I don't know why it happened to me, but it hasn't happened since. I dreamnt I was peeing and woke up and the bed was wet. I was really weirded out/embarrassed after it happened. I'm not on 6-mp though, but you could bring it up to your doctor, especially if it happens again.

After it happened to me, I Google searched "adult bedwetting" (lol) and it seems fairly common for this to happen once or twice to healthy adults. But definitely tell your doc. since you seem to be having other symptoms (increased need to urination during the day).

Prednisone can cause an increase in night time urination. My son was so annoyed by how many times he would have to get up to pee in the middle of the night while on the Pred. For some reason especially at the end when he was tapering down, maybe since he was no longe losing fluids through D. I suppose if you we in a deep sleep at the time, you could sleep right through it.

Let us know what you learn.
