The tests I had showed I didn't have full DI, so he said it would go away at some point, but couldn't know when. It took a lot of persuasion for him to give me Desmopressin, but it totally transformed my life. After 6 to 8 weeks I spoke to him about tapering off the dose to see what happened, which he was happy with. So over the course of 6 weeks or so I gradually reduced the dose and apart from a couple of hiccups, I managed to stop the tablets altogether. It took over 3 months to get rid of the DI, but only because I had this 'transient' type. Some people's Pituitary gland is permanently damaged and have DI for life, luckily I'm not one of those people.

I have DI, my dose has been up and down like a roller-coaster.<br />How long after your surgery did you realise your DI had gone?<br /><br />Kind regards<br />Harv Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578824483917903323noreply@blogger.com
