I went to the doctor about a month and a half ago, and they told me everything was fine. But, here are my symptoms, and my beliefs.

About 2 1/2 months ago, I started using the bathroom (peeing) constantly. Even if I only drink a sip of water to swallow my birth control pill, I will be up all night peeing.

And, soon after that I started having excessive thirst. I mean, it is hot where I live, but it's always been hot, that's nothing new.

I thought I might have diabetes, but the doctor would have diagnosed that, right? I'm not overweight, it doesn't run in the family.

I'm not sure what's wrong with me. I thought the peeing might have to do with me being stressed. I know it sounds weird, but every time i'm sleeping, and I have to pee, I'm having bad nightmares.

Idk, can someone make sense of this?

It could be a number of things. The early onset of diabetes, mono, hypoglycemia or other blood sugar related issues, possibly even a thyroid problem.

I would suggest asking your doctor about a battery of blood tests. Tell him/her everything that's been going on. A lot of people assume a doctor will figure things out by themselves, but if you don't give them anything to go on, and you aren't displaying any physical symptoms, they won't think to check for it.

Sounds mono like to me also, but of course your very BEST bet is to go back to doctor and stress that you woud like some blood work done.

No one here are docs and all we're doing is pulling straws and guessing

If the doctor didn't test for it, they wouldn't have been able to tell you if you have it or not. Go in and get the test.

Diabetes obviously could be one of it, webmd.com would be a good idea, dehydration seems most likely, but my friend had the same symptoms before he was diagnosed with mono.

and weight really doesnt determine it, my thin friend got it in 6th grade.
