I was just wondering if anyone else with Fibromyalgia always feels like they have to pee all the time?
It's driving me insane.

P.S. I'm new here. :)

Thankfully, that isn't one of my issues, but I know a lot of people with fibro who have that problem.

I take St.John's Wort. 1,500Mg.
I buy them at wal-mart. I take 1 before I go out and 1 before bed and it helps. But make sure you have enought for everyday because right now im having to do without because i cant afford them right now. :(
(St. Johns relaxes the musules around your bladder, thats why it works.)

Thanks for posting asilinc298. I thought I was alone. Or at least I felt alone.

No. But I discussed this with my naturopath when he told me I needed to drink more water--it just goes through me. He says it has to do with the body's inability to move the fluid into the cells in an efficient way, thus leaving one dehydrated, in spite of drinking and peeing. He gave me a homeopathic called "Rehydration" made by Energetix that I put in my water. I do feel a bit of difference, a little more energy or stamina.

yes irritable bladder is a part of fm. I got meds to help as I would sleep walk to toilet and wake up with numb butt. Not fun.

Yes, Yes, Yes and I hate it also. I tried seeing a Urologist a few years ago and went through a whole bunch of tests and never went back. Now, I am thinking to myself since I have developed more Fibromyalgia symptoms like running to the bathroom a lot of the times, I need to make an appt. to see one again.

Yes all the time!!! I asked my doctor about it. He said that is a very common problem for people with fibromyalgia.

Yup! It sucks, but I was also told this can be related to fibro...I also am in need of having my bladder tacked up as it is falling so that doesn't help...lol

Good luck!!!!

OMG! yes! it's like I'm an old person that can't hold it! and I will say that there are times when a little leaks out before I can get to a bathroom. it's like I don't know how bad I have to go until I sit down to go. but I always make sure to be near a bathroom and know where one is located at all times.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
