I have been trying out diuretics for a year now - that changed everything, They help to contain water, i need less of it and i also lost weight! Shoot me a message if you want to know about that change.
People with rare conditions should support each other. So feel free to join our facebook groups.

Diabetes insipidus renalis
nephrogenic diabetes insipidus
Marc Wübbenhorst from the Western German city of Bielefeld drank at least 10 times more water than the recommended daily intake of two litres a day for most people.
The 39-year-old German has diabetes insipidus renalis since birth. It’s a rare disease – only 60 people in Germany have been diagnosed with it (statisticly 360). The condition – which, despite its name, is unrelated to diabetes – is an inability of the sufferer’s body to retain fluids. These days, Marc Wübbenhorst says he can live with his condition and manages to cope with it with the help of generous doses of humour. "Make the best of it!"
Medical background
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (also known as renal diabetes insipidus or diabetes insipidus renalis) is a rare form of diabetes insipidus primarily due to pathology of the kidney. This is in contrast to central/neurogenic diabetes insipidus, which is caused by insufficient levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH, that is, arginine vasopressin or AVP).
Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is caused by an improper response of the kidney to ADH, leading to a decrease in the ability of the kidney to concentrate the urine by removing free water. It is said, that statisticly only 1 in 250.000 people have this.
"It´s about the kids and those, who are in need or suffer from the darkness. It is for the mums, the sleepless nights and the exhausted. It is for those, who are not recognized. I made this for them. It is about the fever, the nightmerries, the tiredness. It is about hope, love and family."
Please no Sexism, Ageism, Racism or other -ism. I am bored by that.
