Waking to pee every night, never feel refreshed, dry skin, 12+ months

Hi,

I wonder if anyone has had similar problems and have found a solution.

I’m female and 25 years old. My main problem is that I wake up to pee every night without

fail. It’s a significant amount and I’ve reduced the amount of water I drink in

the evening to the odd sip but it makes no difference. Aside from waking in the

night I get at least eight hours sleep almost every night, and I’m tired enough

at bedtime to fall asleep easily.

I just never feel refreshed or rejuvenated. My skin and scalp has become dry, and hair falls

out easily. It seems like my face is either filling with fluid in the lower

cheeks and pulling my face down a little, making my lips thinner, or my face is

just sagging for some reason. My legs ache constantly. They also swell when

I’ve been drinking but I seem to have poor circulation generally. I have

constant back ache but that could be down to poor posture, though I’m trying to

be conscious of this. I have also started having clicky joints.

My diet is healthy and I’m a healthy weight. I take a multivitamin every day and

have done for years. I only drink two or three evenings a week, only beer and

not to any excess. I walk to and from work every day, forty-five minutes each

way at a swift pace. I don’t do any exercise other than walking, and I know I

should do more, but I’m always keeping busy. I’ve had full bloods done in March

this year and recently in October.

I started to notice these things around the same time, towards the end of last year, and

they have been constant ever since. My

main problem is waking to pee at night, not feeling energised or fresh.

I wonder if anyone has had a similar experience and found a solution!

Thanks,

Rachel
