I believe this is related to my mold sickness which correlates and overlaps with my Lyme and Friends (coinfections).

I am curious as to how many other people here are experiencing this problem and what you tested positive for regarding Lyme and Friends.

I had the urinary urgency before I was diagnosed and it resolved quickly with Lyme treatment - within a month or two.

I was constantly running to the bathroom, barely making it there on time. smhair

Yes , I've also experienced this symptom, (and occasionally still do to a much lesser extent ) I began taking a kidney support supplement prior to my Lyme diagnosis for kidney issues and a reduction in urinary frequency / urgency was an added bonus. I was ridiculously pleased to see this symptom mostly disappear, as there had actually been a few times I was unable to make the bathroom in time.

I tested positive for Lyme and am awaiting lab results for coinfections. I suspect I've got at least Bartonella and possibly other co.s as well.

This may or may not be relevant, but I've known a few dogs with Lyme that also had this symptom . smile

I don't have any positive test results as of now, but have also had this symptom on and off however, I don't really consider it a "symptom" for me.

I think in my case it's because of all the supplements and stuff I take, your body naturally eliminates certain vitamins when you have them in excess through urine. I think I'm overloading on Vitamin C between my multi and drinking lemon water. I also probably get way more than enough vitamin B from the multi I take plus the regular vitamin B complex supplement I take with it.

For me I notice this happens the most within about 2-4 hours of me taking my supplements and then subsides later in the day.

Casa11,

What kidney support supplement did you take?

I had frequent urination most of my life until I got sick in 2009 with what I now know is chronic Lyme & co. I used to have to pee before I left the house. Go again as soon as I got to where I was going. You get the picture. I would frequently feel the urge but when I would go, I didn't urinate much.

When I got sick in 2009, my bladder habits changed. I started going long periods of time without urinating and wouldn't feel the urge until I was about to wet my pants. When I urinated, it would be a lot. Many other things changed in my body, but that was one major change that has remained constant.

A year ago, I was diagnosed with CIRS from mold and also got a positive test for Lyme and erhlichia. I also had the HLA-DR genetic test done and found out I have a genetic susceptibility for biotoxins (any of them) and another gene for susceptibility to borrelia. Based on what I've since learned about Lyme and coinfections, I realize I've had signs of Bartonella and possibly Babesia since early childhood. I believe I've been infected most of my life and that my immune system kept things in check until I had some trigger events in 2009.

I said all that to say this. I suspect that the frequent urination I experienced most of my life was the result of that genetic susceptibility to toxins. It was probably my body's way of struggling to get toxins out. When the Lyme went chronic in 2009, I'm guessing my body lost the ability to properly keep toxins out and infections in check. This is all a crude hypothesis, and I have no idea how plausible that explanation is.

I will say that in the past year as I've been treating myself with supplements and herbs and trying to detox, etc., there are times when I have more frequent urination. This time, though, a lot comes out. It isn't a false sense of urgency like I used to have. During these times, I feel like my body is dumping toxins and I sometimes feel slight pain when urinating (no UTI's).

Mine was caused by Bart. It was interstitial cystitis. Treating that has made a world of difference. I take Bladder ease by Vitanica. It's available on Amazon and other sites.

I have oxalate issues and have similar urinary frequency urge when my oxalate load gets too high (some of my favorite foods are very high oxalate).

Hi WalkingbyFaith, Ill gladly share the name of the kidney support supplement I take, b/c it really has worked wonders for me. But I've got to warn you that it's probably not something most people would want to take- first if all, it has a very small amount of Astragalus root extract in it.

I tried to stop taking it when I realized people with chronic Lyme should avoid Astragalus, but my kidney pain came back so severely that I decided to keep taking it until I figure out another option. I'll eventually try to get all of the other ingredients separately, but just haven't felt up to it yet.

And it's also formulated for dogs. The company who makes it ( Rx Vitamins) also makes human products, but I haven't found a comparable one. I do think it's a high quality product even though it's meant for dogs.

The main concern I have about it is that I've recently noticed the inactive ingredients list has rice flour & titanium dioxide listed. The original formula didn't contain these & if it had I wouldn't have tried it.

All that said, it's called Rx Renal Canine by Rx Vitamins. I originally got it ( for my dog) from a TCM vet, but you can now find it on amazon.

Mine was Bart related as well. It improved with treatment.

You guys have given me good info. I hope it keeps coming.

My old nemesis, Bartonella. Of course that makes sense as I know its not gone, but just laying low.

I just restarted the Advanced Glutathione so it appears the universe has me slated to solve this. It has been an amazing journey to say the least.

Its a spray from CCL Supplements, and been using it for the last few days. I wont endorse it just yet but will let you know.

I've learned from actual personal results as opposed to read it somewhere, that men with Low T should not take high doses of Flax Seed Oil and have switched for now to Alaskan Salmon for the time being.

I took my fourth dose of Bravo Suppositories in hopes to keep the invaders at bay and not return to abx (I hope).

Do you guys think this plus anxiety is enough reason to test someone for Lyme? This is something one of my teenagers has been dealing with for years.

I believe it. Baby animal feed will contain 40 trace minerals. Baby formula not even close. I don't need to say how very backwards this world we live in is, but those who know me, know that I will from time to time.

If its cheap enough for you or covered I say why not? But if its money you could put to better use directly strengthening your health, then do that.

Right now it is simply 4500 mg L-Arganine daily to stifle Bart, while I await the delivery of WoodLand Essence's CSA and Myco formulas to more actively treat.

I am still taking 400 mg of Fluconazole every 72 hours, which is more for the Borellia.

I am also doing Bravo Probiotics now.

Other supplements I am using include Modified Citrus Pectin, Monolauren, Red Raspberry leaves, Life Extension's Optomized Fucoidan, and Glutathione. (And of course 3500mg Life Extension Magnesium and FISH oil)

What little I am doing right now mostly keeps things in check with minimal symptoms.
