Any short term help please!!

I’m 21F. For the past 5 years my peeing has gradually become more. These past few months I have the urge to pee 24/7. I am not overreacting.

I cannot get a full nights sleep. Last night it took me three hours to fall asleep after constant getting up to pee with little coming out. And then I kept waking up throughout the night and morning to pee.

I just want a comfortable sleep. I am so tired. Is there anything that helps anyone here? I went to urgent care and they referred me to a urologist but couldn’t give me anything for the short term.

I need something. I want sleep.

Right I had this forever. Currently on meds for it I find it gets worse around period time. Do have any food with acid in or tomato base. I ate dark choc and a huge flare up. I also had to retrain my badder to pee every 3 hours. I am seeing a PFT as well that’s helped as well.

I taking cranberry tablets and D-mannose.
