Some people with Parkinson’s symptoms get so little sleep at night that they are miserable day in and day out. Sleep is a prerequisite to healing. If you are a man, I have three questions for you:
- When sleeping do you wake up because of an urgency to pee?
- Do you make frequent visits to the bathroom at night?
- Does waking up not only interrupt your sleep at night but make it difficult to get back to sleep?
If the answer is yes to these three questions, investigate further a product called Conveen offered by Coloplast.us with product listing at: https://www.coloplast.us/Conveen-Optima-en-us.aspx
Recommended by some nurses who specialize in therapies for Parkinson’s, it is a rubber sheath (similar to a Condom) which attaches to a plastic bag which in turn is attaches to your leg when you sleep. When the urgency to pee arises, you do not have to get out of bed and visit the bathroom.
This has been a welcome solution for Steve who found the Conveen made it possible for him to get a restful night sleep because he no longer had to get up 4-6 times even night to pee. I wish there were a product like the Conveen for women but no such solution exists to my knowledge.
