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?

I've had that at the very beginning of a cold, a few times. Or if I'm taking a certain decongestant.

but i've just gotten over a cold. [/whine] also, i'm not drinking more caffeine than usual; rather less than usual, actually. i'm not feeling unusually thirsty, though i am noticing that i'm hungry more often than i think i usually do -- but this may be because i'm so caught up in finals i'm forgetting to eat more often than usual lately. i'm often tired, and i do occasionally (i mean, very occasionally) have random moments of dizziness or light-headedness.

and it's rather amusing that all this (including the peeing thing) is the summary of my symptoms, and that layna said Gah, FPREG. ;-) sort of. in an ironic way, i suppose.

(if i'm pregnant, i'm going to need someone to tell me where the hell i've been for the last four weeks. [g])
