    • never was a bed wetter but i do wet the bed every night now cause of medical reason became totally incont bed has full plastic mattress protector and wear diapers full time 
    • I am OK during the day...except those days when I literally am LUCKY to get out of bed, though they are far less common than they were for quite some time when my autoimmune issues were not as well controlled, they still pop up out of nowhere from time to time. 100% FIND A WAY to stay awake when it is day, at least until 9PM and caffeine after 1, 2PM (my cut-off) is kind of mandatory. My issues are the pain I experience, no matter my back, my headache...is ALWAYS *FAR WORSE* from 12-1AM through 4 to as late as 11AM although USUALLY 5-6AM being a BAD night, and then I have to FORCE MYSELF to be awake by noon as if left alone, I'd sleep until 5PM and then, breaking that cycle is HELLACIOUS! It is so difficult to break. The VA MAKING ME have what will come close to (if not over) 200 appointments this year helped, although I had 2 HORRIBLE nights where I wound up sleeping until well after my appointment time. I have a LOT of "Care in the Community" appointments, many require 2 hour drives (assuming all goes well, no accidents or MAJOR construction) and they all seem to want me there at 9AM! FINE! Put me up in a hotel for free, send someone to rip me out of bed and THEN we can do a 9AM appointment! The ONLY WAY I can do a 9AM appointment 5 miles from my house is to go without sleep as I WILL BE AWAKE 95/100 nights between 1-4AM, on a GOOD night. My back will hurt so bad I HAVE TO sit or stand,, often stand unless I had a recent radiofrequency ablation (burn the nerves that transmit the pain) on my Coccyx (tailbone) as that gives me 2 pretty good months, and then, slowly, it begins to worse until the last 6-8 weeks are HORRIFIC and sitting isn't the worst part..it is getting into or out of the sitting position, when you are using the muscles that either attach to or interact with the muscles that attach to your tailbone and I have seen stars at times! PAIN on a level I would NEVER had believed had I not been living it for 22+ years! My back pain? It is bad during the day, but not so bad I can't "power through it"......at night, totally different story and my one dr gave me a very detailed medical explanation and it has to do with hormones your body creates while awake that are much lower at night, when "normally" asleep, and HOLY SHIT! I CAN'T "POWER THROUGH" this pain! ALL I can do is find ANYTHING (LOUD music, and I mean pictures rattling off of walls LOUD!) or going online, communicating with friends, especially groups like this. Learning to live with PAIN is NOT EASY, NOT ENJOYABLE but if you're in this position, you have to, and fortunately, you have a lot of us who understand and live with the same thing. Never hesitate to reach out Mikey! We HAVE TO BE here for each other, and even though it is not "IDEAL", it is better than the alternative. Sleeping during the day, save for the worst of the worst days or days when you have the flu and your body NEEDS all of the rest you can get, you HAVE TO force yourself to find a way to stay awake, force yourself out of bed (for me, TRY to be awake by 10, 11 at the worst) and then will not allow myself to even lie down to watch TV which USUALLY isn't an issue as i have more work pouring in on me than 3 of me can handle right now....but whether you build a new website or read, whatever you do, force yourself to stay awake so you can do as best you can to get into as normal a sleep schedule as possible.  Wish you the best...knowing EXACTLY what you're dealing with and how debilitating it tends to be at times is rough man....
    • Welcome no better place than here to grow in the community
    • I've never been a bedwetter, but a few months back I intentionally wet the bed (not toooooo much) several times. After that I was able to justify to my wife that I'd be better off wearing diapers at night, and so started doing that.  Now I wet every night, waking soggy. I'm trying to wet in my sleep, but so far I only "wake-wet-go back to sleep".  I'd love ideas to help with wetting while asleep!  I say confirmations to myself at night ("You're wearing a diaper. You can wet freely without risk. You can stay asleep..."), and I do some hypnosis tracks, but I think I've only wet once or twice in my sleep so far.  I know it takes time!
    • And yes there are good things with a credit card along with it helping your credit score. We use them for a convenience so we don't have to have a lot of cash on us, like $200 at the grocery store, etc, we buy a lot online,,, being older, but its also good that most cards will give you points or money back and we have one card that lets us apply the money to pay on the bill. We have auto pay stuff on a card. But we pay them off every month. And our Home Depot cards are anything over $300 in no interest for 3 months and longer on higher. They Hope you will not pay it off so they can make money off you. We use that for a major repair, like a new sink or fridge, etc... We have had some learning periods with credit. But since we have a high credit score we work hard to keep it that way..
