Sometimes I wonder if the root of all my problems (well, not really the root but what keeps me from getting better) is that I am up on average 10 times a night to pee. I have a long history with kidney stones and my urologist really has no answers for me. But I don't think I've slept more than 3 hours straight for over 5 years (if not longer but that's when I got pregnant with my first daughter which exacerbated the problem).
I just had an endocrinologist take my antidiuretic hormone profile so we'll see what those results are. I'm waiting on an appt with another urologist for a second opinion and to rule out chronic kidney disease.
I take fludrocortisone and thermotabs for POTS (have been on them for about 6 weeks now after a 10 year break because they thought they were causing kidney stones. they don't seem to be working this time though) and my doc was hoping this would help with fluid retention at night but it's not made a difference.
anyone else suffer from this? it's worse than when I had a newborn waking me all night!
