Great that you have a urologist appointment tomorrow — perfect timing to get some answers!
On the migraine question, the search results available don't contain specific information linking migraines to Parkinson's, so that's definitely worth raising directly with your neurologist. Bladder issues are actually very common with Parkinson's. Here's what's typically experienced:
- A frequent and urgent need to urinate
- Urgency even when the bladder isn't full (overactive bladder)
- Difficulty fully emptying the bladder
- Nighttime bathroom trips disrupting sleep
These happen because Parkinson's affects the nervous system's control over bladder function.
As for caffeine specifically, it can act as a bladder irritant and may worsen urgency symptoms — definitely worth mentioning to your urologist tomorrow. Bladder issues can often be managed with medication or guidance from a specialist, so you're in the right place!
