Re: Problem chelating - diabetes insipidus

[Guest guest]

Hi Sunny,

I have had to take desmopressin a while back as I had similar

symptoms to you and believe I had a mild form of diabetes insipidus

caused by the pituitary. I took one squirt of the nasal spray before

bed time and at least it helped me get some sleep, it also prevented

me from waking up with a morning hangoer feeling and being very stiff.

I don't take it now as think it might have aggravated my sinuses and

the frequent urination problem didn't seem as bad after I'd been on

it a few months.

I still wake up early needing to urinate but I do go to bed at 8pm

and wake up at 6am. Occasionally I wake up once in the night to pee

but not as bad as it was and I hope when I go on the ALA that it will

also help.

Good luck!

Josie
