maybe you actually found a real doctor this time. They are getting more scarce every year. At least that is what I am discovering...

Re: “Today I am supposed to drink half a gallon of liquids. That ain;t much considering I down about 24 ounces of coffee in the morning first thing.”
Half a gallon is normal for an adult. I just did a 24 hour urine collection and came in at 1.5 gallons... very high. I'm always thirsty and dehydrated. It's why I'm seeing the endocrinologist. They think I have a rare condition called Diabetes Insipidus that causes the kidneys to route too little water back into the body. Everything that hits the kidneys gets routed to the bladder which isn't what's supposed to happen.

I actually hope the diagnosis is correct since D.I. is not curable but IS usually treatable. I'm sick of always being dehydrated. I've been complaining to doctors about this for twenty years.
