I'm so THIRSTY today. All day today, and I've been carrying a bottle of water with me everywhere since the moment I woke up. What the heck?

Seriously, it's like "drool-on-myself" kind of thirsty. Please tell me that happens to other folks, too? And if chugging water doesn't seem to help my thirst (which it isn't), then I'm not sure what else to try. I mean, water's usually better than coke or cocoa, right?

*sigh*

*drool*

Dehydration is very common during the winter months and most people don't realize it. Excessive thirst is the first sign of being dehydrated. Have you had any type of headache in the back of your head? That's another sign. Also, what color is your pee? Especially before you suddenly became thirsty.

Since our weather has suddenly gone very, very cold I have been extra thirsty too and have gone through lots of water as have my son and hubby. It really hit the other day when I spent all that time outside with the dogs trying to get Cha Cha to do her thing. You were out playing in the snow with the boys a few days ago and your body could have gotten a bit dry.

If it persists, there's the diabetic thing to watch for also. But I know from my mom, who is pre-diabetic (her dad was diabetic and her sister was just diagnosed), that her water intake was related to different types of food she ate. I think she said more starchy foods made her really thirsty. So do sweets.

Keep an eye on things girlie.....

Yeah, I've had the headache, too, but I chalked that up to the barometer in my brain going nuts from all the crazy wintry weather. ;-) Oh, but my pee is almost clear, Mom. (Hehehe.)
