I pee a lot and other stuff

(I haven't got a clue about where to place this question.....)

Well, it's as simple as this: I pee alot. Last friday I went to my doctor, bacause I was feeling ill.
I pee alot, and I drink alot. I'm always thirsty, and get dizzy easily.
He tjecked my blood sugar level, because he suspected that I had Diabetes II. It was 4,2. He also took some blood samples and sent them to the laboratory.
He told me to write everything I drink and pee down for the next 72 hours and the come back, and get the results from the test and see what we could do about me.

Then Saturday night I suddenly got really ill. I got nauseated, had trouble breathing, I started to shake and my heart felt like it was jumping out of my chest. I was dizzy, and thats really the last thing I remember for the next hour. My BF apperently sat there holding me, and I was just shaking and speaking in tungs... I dont remember a thing.

We didn't call the doctor, because I said no, apperently

That day I had drank 10 L and let out 7 L of urine...

Next day I felt really bad, and it just got worse as the day passed. Early in the evening we called the doctor who put me in the hospital. They took all kinds of test and urine samples (they also suspected Diabetes II) but nothing showed.

We got the test results and they were perfekt. Then my body started to itch all over and my stomach (blatter) began to hurt...

And that day I drank 11,7 L and let out 11,4 L urine...

So my question is, anyone experienced anything like it? The doctors at the hospital will examine my kidneys, and my hypophysis, because there might be something wrong there?
I'm just confused and have no idea about what I should do... I feel fine in the morning, when I wake up, but in the evening I'm a wreck...

Btw, today, after I got out from the hospital it felt like I went cold or something (don't know how to describe it in english). My legs felt heavy and they cramped...

I know this entry got a little long, but I really needed to get it of my chest, and I hope that there someone in this forum, who can give me a little guidance.

Sounds like a urinary track infection.

Did they culture your urine or even take a urine sample?

I suffered with UTI's for a year. So a year or antibiotics and learning what a yeast infection felt like.YUK.

It is also symptoms of spastic bladder.

Please let me you what you find out.

I just posted the other day about this you sound much more like mine. I can drink gallons of water and pee just as much. Is your urine clear or is is yellow?

Hmm well I am sure this is FAR off for any of you and it's jsut regular thirst. But I have Diabetes Insipidus. It's normally called the "water Diabetes" I drink like 4 gallons Yes I said 4 gallons of water a night if I don't have my medicine DDAVP. This type of Diabetes is only caused by a fall on the head, or by surgery on the pitutary in the brain/head. Mine was caused by falling down 2 flights of stairs on the outside of the apartment building and landed on my head. SO I went like 2 years of drinking and going to the bathroom and I never got any sleep and in the winter I litterly sleep over the heater vent because I was so cold, so there you go all three symptoms of regular diabetes. Only mine was a bit different. The doctor explained it like this:

There's a little man up there and when he is awake he tells you that your thirsty and you have to go pee alot and your cold. But when you take this medicine the little man goes to sleep and you don't feel thirsty all the time.

Which really works I was of course only 10 years old and I laugh at the story sometimes because I thought there was really a little man up in my head and even asked the doctor to take him out LOL!!!!!

You can visit www.diabetesinsipidus.com and read all about it. I thought I was the only one but there are lots of people like me, some in Motorcycle accidents no helmet, playing and falls several feet down, or just having brain surgery and the doctor worked too close to the hormone in the brain. I take my medicine through my nose long time ago with a tube but now they have invented a spray which works so much better I do it twice a day. And I drink normally like anyone else. But once I don't get my medicine I drink so much that my tummy can hurt and throw up (tmi sorry)

Sorry didn't mean to take over your post but I say if it's alot that your drinking I say get a test ran. I had several and was in the hospital for a week before they found out what I even had they had to go to books from the library 4 specialist later whala, Diabetes Insipidus!!!!

Short version

Despite the similarities in name and some symptoms, diabetes insipidus (DI) should not be confused with diabetes mellitus because these two conditions are unrelated. In its most common form, DI is caused by damage to a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, usually due to tumors or surgery near this region.

Diabetes mellitus, on the other hand, is caused by a lack of or difficulty using insulin, a hormone needed to process glucose (blood sugar) for energy.

The two most common signs of DI are increased thirst and increased urination, which are also common signs of diabetes mellitus. However, DI arises when there is a decrease in the level of a specific hormone that is responsible for instructing the kidneys to conserve water and help concentrate the urine.

Other symptoms of DI include dehydration and and urine that is more clear and watery than normal. Depending on the cause, DI can be a temporary or permanent condition. Treatments may include medication, such as hormone therapy or diuretics.

This is what I posted in the other post GL!!! PM me if you have any questions.
