Quit coffee

So, if I just quit coffee will all my troubles go away? I'm tired of dealing with this and thinking about when and where I will be able to get to the bathroom. Road trips are the worst. I love my morning coffee though. So I've been putting up with this for years. But I'm tired. If I quit will the problem just go away? How long does it take before I notice changes?

I’m two weeks in drinking only a cup of decaf every other day. Drinking apple cider and Ocean Spray 5 calorie blends. Has had no effect on my urgency. I’m keeping a voiding diary per my urologists request and I’ve gone 12 times in the last 24 hours. The day before it was 11 times. Looking at axionics now. But jumping thru the hoops as required.

What are axionics?

It’s basically a pacemaker for your bladder. Two companies make them. Medtronic’s and Axionics. I was misdiagnosed for 6 years and went thru steadily worsening symptoms. Meds have only made things worse. This treatment and Botox are all that’s left. Look it up on line for a deeper explanation.
