Guest guest Posted November 15, 2000 Report Share Posted November 15, 2000 I am thirsty too. When I saw Cheney in Nov, he wanted me to be tested for Diabetes Incipitis. My HMO was pretty clueless on how to test accurately for this. Cheney told me that you restrict fluid intake at 4pm. until the next day 8-9 am, Also to test for ADH (anti-diuretic hormone). I'll let you know when I know more. I will have a phone consult in Dec >One of the porblems I have with CFS is thirst. I'm drinking plenty of >water plus juicing vegetables.

If you are concerned about your thirst, try increasing your salt intake - salt on food, canned tomato juice with salt, dill pickles, anchovies, whatever you can handle. This will help your tissues retain fluids. Some doctors recommend using " lite salt " , which is a mixture of sodium chloride and potassium chloride, to get a better electrolyte balance. Or you can try Gookinaid, which is an electrolyte mixture. But I'd also suggest you get a fasting glucose test, if you haven't in a while. Increased thirst is one of the warning signs of diabetes, which is nothing to mess with. -- el - andrea@... (IFF " FNORD " appears - remove it from my email address to reply) " ...wake now!

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2000 Report Share Posted November 15, 2000 Gee Phil I have the opposite problem.....I am NEVER thirsty and have to force myself to drink anything. If I did not have to take so many pills, I probably would not drink much of anything. Laurion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 Phil asked " I am wondering if others are plagued with this and what advice you have. Annette's reply : Phil, I am also plagued with this problem. I drink and drink and drink. My mouth feels constantly dry and at times my whole body just gasps for water. The big downside is that my body then becomes waterlogged and I can hear it " swish " as I walk. I rarely pass water during the day but can spend the whole night racing to the bathroom. Strange. I tried the obvious things and it's still a mystery. sorry, no advice. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2000 Report Share Posted November 18, 2000 do you have dry eyes as well? I do. Was told it could be autoimmune and even sjogren's disease. Was tested and came back negative but there is seronegative sjogren's as well. It is miserable. J.

Youre right about being thirsty...i read you are supposed to drink 120 oz of water a day in 2 sources....I think i will just fill 2 gallon jugs, keep them in the car and make sure i finish them all by days end.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I have been on a trial of 10mg Lexapro for depression. Aside from some sleepiness (so I take my meds at night), the only other side effect seems to be intense thirst. Anyone else get that?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I have a really dry mouth and thus thirst from one of my meds, but I didn't know which one, so maybe it's the Lexapro in combination with something else. I didn't have that dry mouth before I started treatment for Hep C. Colleen gilthanis_elven <gilthanis_elven@...> wrote: I have been on a trial of 10mg Lexapro for depression.
