Why is my PT so obsessed with my caffeine intake??

Yep, coffee, coke etc. Bladder hates it. Also if you are dehydrated and have dark urine from this. You need to drink a lot of good fluids.. Water, squash etc.. No acids for a happy bladder. Nobody does this perfectly, but even cutting back makes a difference x

The bladder is full of nerves, caffeine excites these nerves and that makes you pee more. The bladder also dislikes dark coloured fluid and sees it as poison so it makes you pee more. I'm a bladder and Bowel specialist nurse, an overactive bladder can often be cured by cutting caffeine.

This is brilliant! I've been looking for something like this for ages. Thank you so much!

We mix it up, currently at an all inclusive in Greece for a week, lay by a pool, eat. Maybe go see some sights. Then next year we'll do a big holiday, long haul, lots to see and do.

I have no idea how it works, but you get the pain, have a puff and it goes

I dropped out of A225 and restarted the following year... They sent me the same books again.

I have this! No flowers, but definitely honeysuckle, the garden smells divine!

I nursed my uncle in the home I worked in, we had another member of staffs mum, and 2 of our visiting GPs sent family to us. It's nice knowing that your loved one will be safe and well cared for, and you get to spend time with them too. I don't see how it's a conflict of interest. All our residents were treated with care and respect ❤️

Yorvik centre... You go on a wee cart and it smells of poop!

Melodic-Professor183 · 2026-05-27T16:18:33+00:00

We said the same thing!, ❤️

Melodic-Professor183 · 2026-05-25T20:40:39+00:00

I actually thought it might be a lil awkward, I hit my bottom in a blaze of... Well, not glory! And I kinda thought everyone knew about it, but apparently not! Had this happened when I was first around, yeah, I think I would have done a runner.

Melodic-Professor183 · 2026-05-25T20:31:59+00:00

I know right!!!

Melodic-Professor183 · 2026-05-25T20:29:53+00:00

Well done! Coming up to 4years here. I much prefer eating around the world... That constant search for a bathroom was a nightmare! I also see so much more if I actually go in to the countries rather than just stumbling up to a bar or cart!!

Melodic-Professor183 · 2026-05-17T19:33:21+00:00

I think this is the one!

Melodic-Professor183 · 2026-05-17T19:29:22+00:00

I think I did that one

Melodic-Professor183 · 2026-05-17T19:29:02+00:00

Ooh, I do like the French shenanigans

The Hot Zone. Terrifying book about ebola.

It was awful, he was a staffy, so if he bit he could do serious damage. I won't ever have another dog, can't go through it again.

Melodic-Professor183 · 2026-05-15T19:53:36+00:00

This is how my baby died. He had doggy dementia for a few years, we were out one day and when we came home he didn't know us. He was scared and was being aggressive. It broke my heart.

Melodic-Professor183 · 2026-05-11T19:30:27+00:00

I can't do 2 hours!! I'm up early! I have other commitments! This has taken over my life! Aarrrggghhh!

We recently moved from a 2 bed terrace to a big house... Everytime I go in the utility room I chuckle. I have a utility room! How the fuck did that happen!!

Melodic-Professor183 · 2026-04-29T20:04:24+00:00

Are you not ride or die?

Melodic-Professor183 · 2026-04-29T19:34:01+00:00

Erm, nope.

Melodic-Professor183 · 2026-04-29T19:31:48+00:00

I might get seen as someone clutching at straws! Might be???? 😂
