Is anyone thirsty?

 I think I may have cfs. I have a sleep study in 3 weeks. I find that I am excessively thirsty. Is anyone else like this??

Hi i sometimes get really thirsty and i have been told that this is because of an associated illness called P.O.T.S ( postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). I feel like i have heart palpitations and stuff and have been told that i only feel them as bad as i do because of the me and fibromyalgia so it may be worth mentioning this to your doctor. Hope this helps :P

I Have chronic thirst and discovered that it is due to Lyme and Mold neurotoxins. My Antidiuretic hormone is low and I have to take a synthetic form until I heal from lyme disease. Please check out chronicneurotoxins.com and see what dr. Shoemaker has to say about chronic fatigue and it's causes.

I always have a dry mouth so I carry a drink with me pretty much everywhere.  I have Fibro & that can cause a dry mouth I am told.  hugs, Denise

You may need to pump your body full of electrolytes. What ever disease process is going on (such as POTS, as an example), it is probably making you dehydrated. I used to have a thirst that could never be quenched, even with lots of water drinking.

A 1/4 tsp of natural sea salt dissolved in water can give an energy boost and relieve dehydration (salt is an electrolyte) (warning: use caution if you have high blood pressure or are a salt-sensitive individual.....consult your doctor......but many in the population are okay with doing this however....still consult your doc)

Or, if you don't want to go the salt route, I like this product, called ElectroMix: http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=3409&at=0

It's an electrolyte mix, and I use it in higher concentrations than what the package recommends. I also like the "Lite" EmergenC, which contains electrolytes as well.

Good luck.
