    I am not a doctor but if you have a burning sensation it might be a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). Check with your doctor just to be sure...

    it's not a bad thing at all. it is your body working like it should. Once your body adjusts it should start regulating itself and you will not experience as many trips to the bathroom.... Tho for some people this does not change at all.

    Don't worry, just know where a washroom is all the time :)

    Cheers

    I know how you feel! I drank 24 ounces of water before bed last night & was up until 1am making trips to the bathroom. It was ridiculous!

    I live in the restroom these days. I keep waiting for my body to get used to it, but it's not happening. :sad:

    I like to think of it this way, all the trips back and forth filling up my water bottle and going pee is that many more calories I burn. XD

    It can be awful but it is a good thing, your body is getting rid of all those bad things and replacing it with good things!!!

    The truth, drinking lots of water does that but the bad news is even when you stop later on drinking lots of water, as soon as you drink you will go lol - at least its my case which is ok cause the system is clear and working well loll - dont worry

    I am right there with ya.....it's annoying, but it's a good thing. Think of it this way, every time you flush, you're flushing away all those nasty toxins. Water is great for you kidneys, for your muscles, skin, bloating, everything! Keep on drinking!

    Haha this is so funny because I've been good about drinking so much water, but I swear I pee at least 10 times a day (not even exaggerating!)

    I drink about 4 liters of water a day measured by my water bottle. I stop drinking at 8p to limit the trips to the bathroom. Otherwise multiple trips with out any pain means you are flushing your system well.

    I understand how you feel.
    I was at the office the other day when an important client came in for a meeting.
    We headed up to the 8th floor and found the conference room.
    Everyone sat down and my boss started talking.

    Cant tell you the rest of the story, I need to go peee........

    I'm glad someone else posted this topic - because I wanted to. I love water but hate being chained to the toilet. Every store I go to, I scope out the joint, looking for the washroom before I get down to shopping. I've abandoned shopping carts in busy aisles, mincing across the store with my knees pressed together, praying I'll make it in time.

    My bladder must be the size of a pea. It's got to be genetic. So is my mother's. She drinks water like nobody's business, but can't hold it. I've seen her pee in bushes, on the side of the road, in parking lots. It's ridiculous.

    When I need to go, it comes on suddenly, and I need to get to the bathroom quick! Otherwise I need to hold very still, and wait for the sensation to pass for a moment. Then and only then can I seize the moment and hope to God no one is in the bathroom ahead of me. There are only two stalls at work.

    I'm considering wearing Poise pads. But who wants to smell like urine in their 40's? I'm already dateless ...
