During the last few months I felt tired during the day and didn’t have as much energy as I used to. I realised that the tiredness began when I started waking up two or more times a night to go to the bathroom. Even during the day, I frequently visited the bathroom. It bothered me and was disturbing my family life. I was so tired that I couldn’t tolerate my two daughters as much as before and would yell at them for no reason.

I didn’t think there was a treatment for this, but my husband convinced me to see a healthcare professional, who asked some questions about my medical history and urinating habits. For a couple of days, I needed to write down how much I drank and when I urinated.

Based on that, my healthcare professional gave me some lifestyle advice and some medication. Now, I feel energetic again and enjoy the time with my family. It’s made a big difference to my life.
