Is there a medication for Diabetes Insipidus other than Desmopressin? The headaches as a side affect are dibilitating.

She never mentioned anything about insulin and that's because she has Diabetes Insipidus, which she clearly stated. Diabetes Insipidus IS NOT Diabetes Mellitus.
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH or vasopressin) is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. ADH deficiency is known as diabetes insipidus. Symptoms are frequent thirst and urination. Treatment is desmopressin (synthetic replacement for vasopressin) - taken 2 to 3 times a day.
Diabetes insipidus(water diabetes) is due to a hormone lacking that helps us hold onto water, these children will urinate excessively, drink excessively, lose weight and be sick with high sodiums, there is a form due to the pituitary hormone lacking and that which is due to the kidney not responding to the normal hormone.
It does not sound like repeated fevers alone is diabetes insipidus.
I guess your vet is suggesting using the DDAVP (Desmopressin) inhaler as eyedrops. From what I can tell, this stuff runs about $78 a bottle (less if you get more than one bottle).
I am kind of confused as to why you are being prescribed DAVPP for nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, because that's usually prescribed for CENTRAL Diabetes Insipidus, caused when the pituitary gland doesn't secrete enough ADH.
Google "atrial natriuretic peptide". It's a hormone related to urination.
You don't say if having to pee wakes you up or if you are awake so you pee. Some things to consider are diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, prostrate enlargement, and medication effect. If your name "bigdaddy" is in reference to your stature and not just your position in the family, that would be an additional reason to give sleep apnea serious consideration.
My diabetes insipidus is controversial. One doctor says that I have central diabetes insipidus and others, eg. the latest urologist, say that I do not have it.
Because doctors did not search the cause years ago, I think that it is not important. The condition has been intermittent for many years and thus may not be serious.
I have had only a couple of bladder infections during my 65-year life, thus infections may not be causes for it. I have uterine issues, myomas and endometrial overgrowth.
Could both of these issues, Diabetes Insipidus and lack of growth, be something more and maybe I should bring something up at his 2 yr appt in a month? The doc does want to retest for the DS but it was hard enough not giving him anything to drink for 12 hours espcially at bedtime when he brings 2 sippy's to bed with him when he was first tested in the spring.
This can also be the result of diseases like diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus. Heart, liver and kidney failure and also certain medications cause excessive thirst.
Some people with severe acidity too develop a habit of drinking water to counteract the effect of acidity
In your case, probably chronic diarrhea has precipitated increased thirst. Chronic diarrhea can be due to parasitic infestations.
29 male three years now chronic peeing feeling and pain that wont go away along with erectyle disfunction i been though the million dollar work up every possable test,medicine and treatment nothing found or worked only findings are l4-s1 herniated discs had lumbar endoscopic discectomy 9/16/09 6 months ago to date little relief but symptoms remain after going to chiropracter peeing feeling got worse before surgery cant think of anything else that causes symptoms anybody have any helpful advice p
I see you have the word 'diabetes' crossed. Diabetes is a Greek word meaning large amounts of urine. Both diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus fall into this realm but both are separate mechanisms.
This forum deals mostly with type 2 diabetes, people who have high blood sugar levels [mellitus]. Diabetes insipidus is kidney related. For best answers, the forum to post on is Kidney Disease & Disorders.
If the levels are so low and potassium levels are high maybe a creatinine clearance test should be done to test the condition of the kidney and rule out diabetes insipidus. CPK or creatinine phosphokinase and liver enzymes should be done if there is muscle wasting. Diabetes insipidus can also cause whole body edema. Please consult an endocrine specialist and a nephrologist. Take care!
It's a flag for diabetes. The term diabetes insipidus comes from the Greek word for "fountain". As thyroidian suggested it could also be prostate, but he is a bit young.
He needs an hba1c test.
Good evening! My mom has had a tumor in her pituitary gland for the past 15 years. She was put on medication for it. Over time she has also been diagnosed with diabetes insipidus, Addison's disease, and vertigo. Two weeks ago, the doctor removed a portion of the tumor. Since she has been home, all she wants to do is sleep. I spoke to her prior to typing this message, and she doesn't feel well. She told me that she fell recently, but she doesn't remember doing it.
Most of the uncomfortable feelings I have when I have urgency comes from the bladder neck and urethra. I have considered diabetes insipidus, but my doctor said it was very rare. I would have to have something other than DI since my urgency is not always related directly to having a full bladder. Thanks for trying to help, though. I am really lost on this topic. I have researched every known disease and dysfunction.
Also, when I go for a run, my bladder neck feels very irritated.
This can also be the result of diseases like diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus. Heart, liver and kidney failure and also certain medications cause excessive thirst. Some people with severe acidity too develop a habit of drinking water to counteract the effect of acidity.
You can cut down your salt, spicy and fried food intake. Avoid too much exposure to sun. Take an antacid twice a day. Eat frequent small meals. Keep a record of the water you take—do not drink more than 8-10 glasses.
Hi my 2 year old daughter has diabetes insipidus and is on the Desmospray. two sprays in morning and two at night. This weekend her stools are really loose and have become just water now. I am worried but she seems to be ok in herself. She is also restricted to 1 litre in 24 hours because she suffers also with excessive drinking of water.
Does he seem to drink water constantly and cannot go anywhere without water? If so, it could be diabetes insipidus, which is VERY different than diabetes mellitis (Type 1 or Type 2).
If not, then it could be a number of things, such as an enlarged prostrate or something else impinging on the bladder and creating a sensation of needing to go, even if the bladder is empty. It could be a problem with the nerves or muscles that connect to and control the bladder.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced diabetes insipidus? The reason for the test is because I have been extremely thirsty and urinating almost every 1.5 hours a day. I received a copy of the test results. They tested my ADH level (arginine vasopressin) The results are L<1.0 Range:1.0-13.3
They say there are different types of diabetes insipidus, basically that the kidneys are doing what they are supposed to do or a pituitary issue.
