Guest guest Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Matt did you know drinking water out if plastic bottles the plastic leaches Estrogens into your drink or pop. I read this yrs. ago and pick up a Stanless Steel Cante. I use a Brita Water filter yes it's plastic but not the kind that leaches E's into your drink. Also I stopped cooking in plastic and don't by foods wraped in it. OK now down to the problem back in the day when I had BPH and would get one bladder infection after the other every time I went into my Dr.'s office some times every other week they tested my urine for an infection and each time they told me I am Dehyrdrated drink more water. At the time I was drinking 8 glass's / day. I would crave salt and eat salty foods when I found out I was Secondary Hypopituitary and was treating everything you could think of that was controled by the Pituitary I was doing TRT, with Arimidex to keep Estradiol down, Armour for Thyriod, Cortef (HC) for low Cortisol, Iron pills for low Ferritin. Still I suffed from fatigue felt hot would sweat easy and could not take the heat of summer I would feel like passing out cutting the grass. I read about low Aldosterone and Renin levels from bad Adreanls make you dump your sodium. http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/aldosterone/test.html I tested this and read this link. http://www.tuberose.com/Adrenal_Glands.html I was dumping my sodium so first I tried adding Sea Salt to my water wow this helped a lot but I ended up on meds for this that you need to take Sea Salt with it. http://www.eaec.org/bookstore/books/sywth-excerpt.htm Today I can work out side and don't sweat so much.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Your best bet is to go to Lowes and get a Whirpool WHER-25 reverse osmosis system. No chlorine, no pesticides, no leached pharmaceuticals left in the H2O after it passes through the membrane. It is mounted under the sink with a dedicated faucet for drinking water only. The whole unit costs about 168 bucks, and a monkey could install one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Hi, Your Pituitary Gland controls the hormones in your body.  If you are thirsty all the time, possibly one of the hormones in your body is low.  Also, there are several minerals in your body that when low can also affect thirst.  Educate yourself, a doctor will not tell you, and they will not test for it, until it is obvious what the problem is.  Doctors DO NOT take care of you, You take care of you.  Research, learn. Do you wait until your car breaks down, before doing any maintenance to it?  Treat your body and mind the same? You may need to go to a testing service and tell them what you'd like tested.  If you have low minerals, and hormones, talk to your doctor. If he doesn't do anything, get a referral to an endocrinologist. Try to get a recommendation from someone, for one that might listen to your concerns.  Good luck, allan From: Matt <mattjon332@...> Subject: Dehyrdration and T Date: Sunday, May 30, 2010, 7:10 PM  Does anyone know if dehydration has anything to do with T or other hormone levels? I know there are many things that suffer when a person is dehydrated, especially physical and mental performance, but I wonder if T specifically is affected? I think I may be chronically dehydrated, or at least close to the borderline, as I tend to drink caffeinated beverages and very little plain water. I love very cold water, but I can't stand drinking warm water and I am also wary of tap water (I grew up on well water, I cannot stand the taste of chlorine and I have read that chemicals such as pharmaceuticals are not cleared from the water because there is no cheap way to filter it, so all the estrogen and anti-depressants and so forth are still there, granted very very diluted). So I tend to buy the expensive natural spring waters only as Dasani, Aquafina, and a lot of others are just bottled tap water but the natural spring waters can be expensive, so its another reason I don't drink as much plain water. Also I don't remember being the weird sweaty guy back when I was younger, but these days when I work out I seem to sweat a lot, probably 2-3 times more then most people (although I tend to work out very hard also) so you would think I need more water then most. I thought this would go away once I lost weight, but after losing 60lbs I am still sweating a lot (granted I need to lose another 30lbs or so). It is something I keep telling myself I will do, drink more water, but its a habit that just hasn't stuck. If I knew it may be impacting my T level or other hormones though maybe that is the extra push to force myself to drink more. -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 In my case it was aldosterone and renin levels my body was dumping my sodium giving me a fast heart beat to keep aldosterone levels up then making my BP go higher. http://forums.realthyroidhelp.com/viewtopic.php?f=12 & t=15454 Co-Moderator Phil > > From: Matt <mattjon332@...> > Subject: Dehyrdration and T > > Date: Sunday, May 30, 2010, 7:10 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Does anyone know if dehydration has > anything to do with T or other hormone > > levels?
