A complex problem which requires physician input. However, just for something to think about consider diet. Is he having enough fiber which will help absorb excess water and help with any constipation which can also contribute to nocturia/dysuria. Just a thought.

His eating has gotten terrible. Mostly wants cereal and sweets. About once or twice a week has a bout of diarrhea. Just lately has suffered some feelings of nausea. Constipation rarely a problem, although a few years ago it was.

He has had the mega peeing problem for at least 10 years or more. The problem getting to the bathroom in time about the last few years - most of the time he isn't even aware he has started.

Doctor's have tried him on different medications but nothing seems to help. in January of 2020 he was told that he had Stage 3 CKD. His previous doctor never mentioned a kidney problem and I didn't know enough to look at his blood tests in those days in order to check. So no idea how long his kidney was giving problems.

He is now having problems swallowing - goes down the wrong tube part of the time and he has to cough it up.

Our family doctor ordered Home Health services but they were discontinued as Bill convinced them he was doing fine (so not true). Later he admitted that he just didn't want them coming even though they were very nice. Hasn't wanted friends or family to visit. Will not go places, which includes visits to the doctor if he can help it.
