The past week or 2 has been complete hell for me since i pee about once every 15 minutes on average. I dont know what this is all about. Even the specialist in Boston needs to consult other doctors and they're all baffled by my incessant urination.
its especially weird because i dont know where all the liquid to pee is comin from. I heard somewhere that the body is made up of 75% water. i hope i'm not pissin myself away. one dr. thought that after all this time itmay be psychological (since i do have OCD).
Please Help Me!
i dont know what to do and i'm so embarrased so i'm stayin at my mom's place. if u got any good suggestions pleez DO TELL!
i would write more, but i gotto go take a leak.......

Your pee is your blood's waste product after it passes through the kidneys. You might have a bladder infection, or an inflamed urethra.
Also, take into consideration your diet. If you're consuming sugars in excess, that could be very bad for your health. There is something called diabetic ketoacidosis. It's what happens when your blood sugar levels become very high over a period of days, weeks, or months. Have your blood sugar checked and if it is over the 70-110 range, you might be developing diabetes, if you aren't already diabetic.
Signs and symptoms might include a fruity or alcoholic smelling breath; this is from ketones, which you might also smell in your urine. If you lost a significant amount of weight for your body type and metabolism, that is something you should note. Also, rapid breathing, racing heart, excessive sweating, increases in your thirst, and changes in your sleep pattern might note DKA.
DKA can KILL YOU, if you have it. It is the thing that causes diabetic comas. There were a good 3-6 weeks of lectures on this subject that I had to endure, so keep in mind that there's alot more to it than what I've told you here.
By the way, take a pregnancy test, just in case.
Good luck and take good care of yourself!!!

Keep a bottle next to you at all times, but don't forget to empty the damn thing ever so often.
Also, save the cork from the next bottle of wine you open and plug it up for awhile, at least give yourself some relief of running to the bathroom every few minutes. Now I don't really know how painful this may get and I am sure there will be a bit of discomfort, but it could be your only alternative at this point. If that doesn't work, try adding a little kitty litter to your diet, it absorbs moisture and could give you a little relief in that instead of running to the bathroom every 15 minutes, you could possibly get about every 18 to 19 minute intervals.
Hope this helps somewhat and good luck to ya!

Assuming that your urination is not psychological, then I have a couple of suggestions.
The first is to take cranberry suppliaments. This serves to alter the ph of your urine.
The second is to take an over the counter medicine call Prelief. A urologist that I work with recommended that I get it for my partner for his frequency in urination. I get it at Walgreens, and costs about $10 for a months supply. It works by taking acid out of your system before it irritates the bladder.
Hope this helps!

Strangely enough you need to keep drinking water or you will become dehydrated.
Are you taking or using any type of drugs? Some of the prescriptions I have taken in the past have caused a lack of control and excessive urination.
So think about it, what are you taking,?? Stop all chemicals, sodas are all chemicals so stop them and see if it helps.

Don't drink alot of water... steady it out... Or go to the hospital because you could become dehydrated rapidly, have them run tests to find out

You might have to see a urologist. They specialize in bladder problems. There are also certain medications that can help control frequent urination.
