I have a neurological condition, PD, a bit different from yours; however, I have found some quality help for the problem of bladder control. I have had pelvic floor therapy, which was very helpful. After that, my urologist prescribed a procedure called PTNS (nerve stimulation procedure), which made a significant difference after 10 sessions. Here is a link from Mayo Clinic's website where both of the pelvic floor therapy and PTNS are explained. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/overactive-bladder/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20355721

Since the PTNS was so helpful, I also decided to include a monthly acupuncture visit. It is costly and not covered by insurance, but I also found it very helpful, especially when combined with PTNS.

There are lots of things to try, you have to find what works best for you. Will you post again and let me know how you are doing?
