Nocturnal seizures and diapers
Sun, 10/09/2016 - 09:24Back in 2009 I had a few nocturnal seizures (probably grand mal) were I bit my tongue, wet the bed and fell out of the bed. Only a few months laster, during a seizure at day-time was I taken to the hospital and diagnosed. The medication (lamictal) has been working perfectly since then, so I haven't had any seizures ever since. I just hope that it won't come back again. If I ever get nocturnal seizures again, and they happen regularly, should I consider wearing diapers to bed?
Has anybody else experienced this? If you're married, and wetting the bed because of seizures. Are you wearing diapers??
There are mattress covers

There are mattress covers that work well. Which means that once you have one you do not need diapers. They can be washed and put back on the bed. Oh and no one would know about it even if your friends see the bed without the sheets on it.
