  • Depends on how much I drink. I pee once and hour or if I've had too much water, once every 15 -30 minutes. It's such a pain in the ***...
  • I wouldn't worry unless running to the bathroom is preventing you from being productive at work or at home.
    Perhaps you do have somewhat of an overactive bladder but the first thing a doc will say is to cut the caffeine...
  • 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.
  • I drink loads too! And only coffee in am and very occas in pm. I go about once an hour on more water days and sometime can go 2 hrs ..it varies. But I feel ya! It can be annoying but I feel like it's a small sign that I'm losing weight too. ( if that makes sense) my poor DH, every time we go out, be it food shopping or restaurant, he know I'm straight for the bathroom door before anything
