I have overactive bladder. When I feel the urge to go I have to go right now. Can't hold it. I notice that it is worse if I have caffiene, but I have no desire to give it up altogether. I am old, and this happens sometimes as you age. I also do not want to go on pills for it. It's not that bad yet. If I am going somewhere that I will be riding in the car for a longer time I make sure I don't drink a lot before I leave.
After I retired, I was amazed at how much our water bill went up...from so many bathroom visits. I wish our bathroom was on the second floor. I would get sooo much needed exercise going up and down those steps! LOL
I thought I read somewhere that drinking a lot of water will give you better control. It gets worse at first, but once your body gets used to the extra fluid it tends to handle it better.
