He's 13.
Been back and forth to the GP. No joy. They keep giving him Descompressin which isn't doing anything for him.
School nurses were pretty useless. Told us to try stuff which we'd already tried (I'm no numpty - I'd trawled the internet for advice over the years) and whenever we went back and explained their suggestions hadn't worked we'd have to 'try them again'.
Lately they're just dodging my calls. I kept being told they'd get a message to the relevant person and call me back but never did.
He was totally dry. Then he got pretty badly bullied and it started again.
He's now 5'9" and doing adult sized amounts of wee. The washing is bumming me out. I've taken on more hours and I can't be washing his duvet and sheets every day.
I bought him Tena pants but half the time he forgets to put them on and they leak anyway. They just don't hold enough wee.
So, I've ordered the alarm and a load of cotton boxers for him to wear in bed.
I want him to be happy. I want this to stop. It's not fair on him to feel crap about this.
What else can I do? I've been feeling very helpless for a while.
It's also really hard to talk to him about, given his age.
I'm going to set us a routine. He goes to bed at around 9pm, so would no drinks after 7pm be reasonable?
I'm all in a muddle about the whole thing.
