Anyone have experience taking antidiuretic hormone?

[addictivepersona]

Might be prescribed the nasal spray of the antidiuretic hormone due to my body not producing it / not receiving. Sort of like what happens in diabetics with insulin.

Anywho, anyone have experience with this?

I may be jumping the gun on the diagnosis as the lab work hasn't even come back yet, but I am not thrilled with the possibility of having to take a hormone for the rest of my life... But drinking nine to twelve liters of water a day is not fun, especially when I don't/can't have water with me--Can you say "excruciating dehydration headache"? 8(

I'd say you're jumping the gun. Wait on the results first.

However it's still OK to inquire - I haven't ever used anything like that. Maybe others will have something to add in, although I'm not sure.

Best of luck though - I'll be curious to hear how it works out for you.

Just bumping to see if anyone with experience in this sees it...

To update on my situation, there isn't much to update: I still have not gotten the results back as the doctor will not let the nurses give me the results over the phone--I have to talk with her personally, and whenever I have called, she is busy/not there. 8( I'm assuming there is nothing dire wrong with me or else she would've made more of an effort to contact me. One of these days when I have an extra hour, I'll take a trip out to the office again.

In other news, my water consumption is down to five or six liters a day, which is still a lot, but is a lot better than the eight to twelve before. I still get horrible dehydration headaches, but after a longer duration. :-/
