I was treated by my GP for 15 years for an overactive bladder - various tablets (not antibiotics, they made no difference anyway)and about this time last year I'd finally had enough of it, I'd been weeing 30 times a day, had terrible bladder pain which affected my work, social life, sex life, everything.
Everywhere I went, I had to first think about where the toilet was. I was utterly miserable. I insisted I should be referred to a Urologist. I had the usual scans and tests, was told to stop all caffeine for 3 months. (I was very sceptical). The difference it made was amazing! I was told by the Urologist that my problem was NOT an overactive bladder, but a sensitivity to caffeine. All those years of suffering, over with!
I drink water, fruit teas, decaffeinated coffee. I've not had a problem since.
