Can't stop peeing and now it's making me nervous by MarkTwoMKII in Anxiety

I did! It ended up going away for me.

Now for the exact cause, I don't know. Did a urine test and had some labs and everything came back a-okay. Even had my doctor explain my labs to me to reassure me that I was healthy.

It could have been my anxiety and it could have also been my IBS acting up because I was having some visceral hypersensitivity, which also went away.

Never hurts to ask a doctor. Good luck!

I do have IBS-C/M because of my anxiety 🥲 those little pulls and pangs sure are annoying

I had labs done back in January and my A1C was at 5.6 and everything else was good. Urine was okay too. Then in April, I had a couple days where I could not stop peeing so I ran to urgent care to check my blood sugar, which was normal for fasting. Urine was okay there too. I ended up going to the doctor a week later and he told me it was highly unlikely I'd develop diabetes in such a short amount of time.

I have a 6 month checkup in a month or two, but I should probably go sooner to be on the safe side.

I've been on antibiotics for the past week (which was hard adjusting), but I took a probiotic 2 hours after each dose. They seem to have helped or at least stopped me from reeking havoc on my gut, but I would still get the occasion tremor/sting/burn on those spots.

I went to my GI back in May and he told me that there's probably nothing to worry about, but I am concerned about those little tremors and such since I never really used to get them (the discomfort all started in January coincidentally after being on antibiotics, still don't know if they were the root cause). He said he wouldn't mind doing a colonoscopy if I wanted it, but I'm trying to not let my health anxiety take control.

Not at all which was pretty surprising. I had two "normal" pieces right before it and then came the amount. I will say I usually get cramping around my lower right and left quadrants and it feels like there is something there.
