I wet the bed every single night for 5 years! At the moment it is a rarity and usually connected to change/nightmares. Funny thing is every time it happened in my dreams I could never find a clean toilet to use. they were all disgustingly filthy. Nowadays if I have a dream like that I know to take extra care of myself. So it does abate as you go through the issues in counselling. I'm so happy for myself that it doesn't happen now. A psychiatrist I saw had never heard of it and wanted to do sleep studies instead. I didn't go back.
 
Through a life of trauma after trauma (many times life or death, a couple times with weapons), I only started bedwetting at night (nocturnal enuresis) very heavily (and every single night) starting about 6 years ago. I have to order these special humungus things from Florida in bulk to get free shipping and even with those, the heavy bed pads - everything gets wet, it's just horrible. (And I thought night sweats were horrible). If it weren't so heavy and messy I could almost live with it (it's a big financial cost as well), but I don't know if it's PTSD related or it would have started way back when I was young and going through life or death trauma (raped at 16 with a knife at my neck by a stranger that smelled like barf and my mom not believing me and being so angry with me throwing me in my room by my hair and slamming the door). I actually think that's when I started disassociating. Anyways, yes, I am a very heavy, heavy bedwetter and the specialist Urologist I went to - NONE of the medicines worked and he wanted me to definitely do a Sleep Study to see what's going on in my brain that could be causing this. Wish I would have done it then.

Now my "share of cost" being on Permanent Social Security Disability is $1,226 per MONTH!! I wouldn't be able to pay my rent or buy food if I did a sleep study or had to have surgery or anything like that so I just don't go to doctors at all anymore. I need teeth pulled, too!!! (Tried to pull one myself with a wrench (lol) hurt like you know what!! Didn't work anyways.
