I can only speculate on a possible cause. Perhaps anxiety & stress, perhaps a side effect of a drug, perhaps a minor bladder infection, or perhaps this is directly related to Parkinson's.... This symptom (with me) goes into remission by itself after a while and I tend to forget all about it for a year or two until I again experience the thrill of nearly wetting my pants in public. I would suggest it is on the sheet because it is something that should be noted and discussed with your doctor and is probably very treatable. I think the things to watch for are abnormalities like frequency, urge, leakage, volume retained, any burning sensation, any difficulty. cheers ........ murray Murray_Charters@xxxxxxxxx
