She is wearing Depends; she sleeps on a piddle pad; waking her up to go doesn't seem to help.Cutting back or eliminating drinks after 5:00 PM doesn't help. (That is not a pun!) What more can I do? Perpetual laundry at 4:00 AM is saping my strength. Do any of the myriad of chemicals (i.e., desmopressin, imipramine, anticholimergic meds) help? Could a gerontologist be of more help than her GP?
No water pill involvement. Depends could be upsized. Piddle pad is used as previously mentioned and keeping her on it is quite a chore. Thanks for the thoughts.

Sorry you have to go through this.
Depends, pad.....there's really nothing you can do unless you want to wake up every 2 hours to take her to the toilet and even that's hit and miss.
Why do laundry at 4am? Throw it in a hamper and do it later in the morning.
Maybe others have ideas, but I don't think this is something that can be completely stopped.
