    CBS,
    Thanks a lot for the excellent information on DI, which I did not know before.

    I certainly don't have an enlarged bladder. My friends have been calling me "Peanut bladder" for decades, because I can't make it through a movie.

    So my blood osmolality test came back abnormal (high), indicating dehydration despite me drinking a lot of fluids. My doctor is going to give me a referral to an endocrinologist. Hopefully we can figure out if I'm experiencing intermittent diabetes inspidus or what.

    I had my constant thirst issue which then of cause had me peeing all the time, to the point my sleep was completely disrupted as I was having to get up and peeing 5-7 times during the night, fixed by a homeopathic medicine (it amazingly got rid of the issue in only a few doses.. so now I only wake up once if that to go to the loo). I'd had that constant thirst issue, so peeing all the time for 2 years or so (and it was just getting worst and worst) before the homeopath treated me for it.

    Now i only pee a lot when Im making myself drink a lot to help ward off a POTS attack and dont tend to get thirsty at all (so drinking and peeing a normal volume).
    ...............

    I have noticed that any fluid I have, passes throu my system very very fast. Within 10 mins anything I drink seems to have gone into my blood stream (it only takes that long to prevent POTS hitting me by drinking a lot). Within 20-30 mins of drinking.. Im peeing the volume Ive drunk out and hence then need to drink again if I need to boost my fluid volume in my body. My bladder capacity thou I know is good as overnight in the morning I pee 750ml.

    I really think for some strange reasons our body cant hold onto any fluid we try to boost our blood volume with.
