I have to go to the bathroom so often! For example, if I'm watching t.v. I'll have to go to the bathroom at every commercial break! [bonk]

What can I do to help this?

Lyme is so much fun. [lick]

Have you been tested for diabetes? Frequent urination is a symptom.

It could also be a bladder infection, although those are usually painful.

Supression of anti-diuretic hormone can happen in Lyme and will cause this. One of our two area LLMDs always tests for this problem at the first visit.

The treatment is a drug, the name of which escapes me at the moment, but it is a long word beginning with a D. (Lyme brain is fun too - not!)

I kept track once for a week, and found I was not going as often as I'd thought, an average of 14 times per day. I'd thought it was closer to 25. Very inconvenient. I can't afford this LLMD and his tests.

I have a Lyme pal who had the test done and had very low anti-diuretic hormone, and she "only" goes 8 times per day, so I'd bet a lot of us have this problem.

P.S. Betty, do you mean interstitial cystitis? That is not just peeing a lot. It is also very painful too.

Yes, some days I pee like crazy and it's not due to increased water drinking.

I've noticed that I usually have to pee more when I herx or aren't feeling very well that day. Do you notice that too or is it just ALL the time?

I have ****ed myself leaving a store and used the plastic bag to sit on.

Thank goodness it was only a 1/2 mile drive home.

Then you walk in the door bow-legged and have to explain yourself. [Smile]

Aniek:

I had gone to doc's office many a time for varying infections, bladder, strep, etc.

They can't figure it out! They look at you and test you, etc.

Probiotics are very important. I take cal-mag, immune support, and colloidal silver to try and hold back symptoms due to hormonal changes.

I am sick every week prior to monthly cycle this year. Ear starts to crust, drip, itch, sinuses clog - sweats, fever, light headed.

UGH!

Any other ladies with this issue? I am 44yrs old.
