OK so for roughly a year I've had an overactive/irritable bladder. It's worse at night I don't so much get the 'urge' to pee but its in my head that I MUST try over and over and over again. I go to the loo, flush the loo, wash hands and back to the loo over and over again it's doing my head in! I've cut out caffeinated tea/apple and blackcurrant squash, I don't drink fizzy pop nor do I drink any alcohol etc I've been prescribed solifenate (sorry useless with medicine names) 5mg to take at night il start them tonight. At 1st I put it down to anxiety but it's become almost like a ritual, it happens in the morning after I've had several drinks, I can't leave the house without going to the loo several times, if I get the chance to have a snooze, again I'm on the loo for ages. Il be contacting the continence team on Monday but my god this is controlling my life! Its not from having my youngest as he was 3 when this all began. It happened the night my ex left me and has been happening every single night since. I've had regular urine tests all clear and STI checks again all clear and I'm definitely not pregnant! Without sounding ageist I feel like an old woman! :(
