I have been recommended thiamine (B1) to help with OAB. Anyone else had experience with this?

Only blood test done was 3 month glucose (in case I had diabetes not so) Don't think our medical practice tests thiamine

They did blood test to check if you are diabetic or not? So you are not diabetic. They gave thiamineIs it helping your symptoms greatly dear?

Over active bladder is a bothersome thing. How are you coping without medication. Any tips and suggestions

Using pads, the newer ones are thin and effective

Also there is a herbal patch - Weak Bladder Patch- which you stick on skin. Readily available from a number of places, just Google

Thanks so muchThe patch is helping you?? Will you stick it all day? Can you please suggest the name of it? You will be better person to guide as you already using it. As I don't know which is best brand. Thanks for the kind response

I get the urge to urinate more in the night time more when I sleep on my right side only. If I sleep on left side it will be normal. I don't know what a strange problem is this?? Anyone in this forum friends suggest me why it's happening??

Both sides affected for me, but I have nicer dreams when I sleep on left side

Wish I could be "normal" on one side!
