I always wanted to post a question about pee frequency and bladder question,
but was too shy to do it.  So, Sherry, let me say, yes, I do that too.  I
pee about as frequently as you, and many times in the night.  Sometimes I
get up out of bed 5-6 times to pee.  Sometimes 7.  I don't feel it's
abnormal, and I don't think I'm drinking too much.  My body tells me it
feels fine.
 
To add to my pee experience, and curious if anyone other prior thru's have
experienced this, being back in civilized life, my bladder is soooo weak. 
If my brain gets a "I gotta go pee" signal, I can't hold it very long.  Not
because my bladder if super full, in fact it is usually only 3/4 full, but
my brain says "must go now."  I've felt this is because, when hiking, the
second I need to pee I go, to shed weight.  I think it's my brain, not my
bladder.  If I'm busy at work or intensely into a project, I can hold it
fine.  All other times, when that first pee signal hits my consciousness I
start to wiggle and squirm and do the pee pee dance, and cannot get my mind
to think of anything else.
Silly I know, but that's my life.

Hi.  I am wondering if other people have the same problem as I have.  I
can't seem to make it very far before I have to stop to, well, 'pee'.  I am
sick of it.  Is the hiking beating up my bladder or something?  

Also, my hands swell when I hike in the heat.  I sip water as I hike (and,
no, I am not drinking that much to account for stopping to go to the
bathroom every flippin' half hour!!) and I know I am not dehydrated. Thanks
for any help.
