For more than two months, I have had frequent urination during day and night.

I may go every hour-and-a-half during the day and even more at night. I'm like a walking zombie because of lack of sleep from having to go all night. There is no pain and I pee a lot when I go.

Have had frequent urination before, but never for this long or this much. Have had Lyme Disease for years, and now my mycoplasma pneumonia test showed at over 1300. The out of range score is only 99. Waiting on other tests now.

Have been tested for diabetes, but all comes back normal,as does my glucose tests at home.

Anyone else have the urinary symptoms to this level. Couldn't find any online. Thanks.

I have it, it's called diabetes insipidus and is pretty common in lyme. Your posterior pituitary isn't protected by the blood brain barrier and it more easily susceptible to inflammation, and that's where your vasopression hormone comes from. Also called anti-diuretic hormone. It screws up our salt/electrolyte balance and we don't retain water well.

Add more salt to your food and you can try adding a little mineral salt to your water, if you can handle it. Those should take some of the edge off, anyway, until you can beat back the infections and lower the inflammation

So it's not actually diabetes? I have been trending toward that and my electrolytes have been a little off. Also thyroid.

So how much do you have to go and have you had any weight loss? This is all so crazy. Thanks for reply.
