Do you have Diabetes insipidus? Let's talk!

Wow! I wondered if there really were other people with Diabetes insipidus. How were you diagnosed? Did you have MRI of your head too?!

i felt very tired and lethargic and never wanted to drink water bc i had no thirst mechanism. went to the doctor and they sent me to the ER. doctors said that other cases with DI they are excessively thirsty, but with me, i wasn’t thirsty at all and i had several brain MRI so they could see if anything is abnormal with my pituitary

I found out in 2012 when I got an iron infusions and I got really weak my sodium levels were so high the doctors said that it was the first time they see a sodium level so high I was in the hospital for a week 3 days in icu because the doctors did lower my sodium but it happen so fast that they wanted to monitor me. I used to drink a 5 gallons water bottle every single day and used to pee a lot even with all that water I was dehydrated.

I had a CAT scan when I was 7 years old and they found the craniopharyngioma on my pituitary gland. They removed 1/2 of the benign tumor, because removing the whole tumor, would've caused me to be blind in my right eye. I had no appetite, ate like a bird when I was hungry, and was lethargic abd vomiting, and couldn't keep anything down, so one doctor finally did the CAT scan and found the craniopharyngioma tumor. I also have Panhypopituitarism, Diabetes Insipidus, Obesity, Hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and acid reflux and heartburn.
