does this mean i'm well-hydrated?

or diabetic?

i'm going to talk about this behind a link, because most of you won't want to hear it. click if you might have medical-type thoughts.



so all day, i've been hurrying to the bathroom like every half an hour or so. i'd say i can't remember the last time i had to pee so often, but that's not true: not long ago, there was a similar couple of days where no matter what i drank, it seemed to go right through me. or no matter what i didn't drink -- nothing changes in my eating and drinking habits, and yet, here i am.

i'm not in pain. i don't feel sick. there's nothing, ah, unusual about ... anything. except frequency. i don't remember specifically when it was, the last time this happened, but i know this has been just today, so i'll take note of when things get back to normal; but i'm thinking, vaguely, that if it comes up a third time, i should maybe see someone. i believe i read somewhere that Symptoms Like This are not unknown in diabetes, which runs in my family (my father and both grandfathers -- although my general physical makeup is more like my father's mother than anyone else). anyone have thoughts?

Could it be the onset of a urinary tract infection? According to this article, other causes could be an enlarged prostate or pregnancy.... Actually, it has some other, more likely, potential causes, too. But, yeah, diabetes looks like a possibility; I really hope that's not it.

enlarged prostate or pregnancy

i think it's both of those things. :-)

thanks for the article; i'll look at it when i get a minute. but i'm sure i'm just worrying over nothing, just because i noticed it.
