After a seizure I have very bad nocturia involving me getting up yo urinate up to 8 times a night - needless to say this is having a very bad effect on my health. A suggestion that it is related to my Parkinsons has been made by my doctor and parkinsons nurse - even if it is theres still no answer as to how to get rid of it. HELP!

Landonā¦I might be off the mark here, but surely nocturia requires a well hydrated system to be a problemā¦it may sound obvious, but eating digestives/ rice/toast etc just before bedtime would be my first line of attackā¦giving myself something that is going to require digestive fluids to be activeā¦depriving myself of free fluidsā¦ā¦after all, waking up with a bit of a thirst is not a concernš
THANKS - IāLL give it a try tonight
