I work in a hospital, and I was on call today...well, they called me in for a couple cases. I felt like I was going to pass out. The Dr. I was working with told me I needed to go to the ER right away (I was really pale & dry) Our ER was packed, so I went to a near by hospital.. I have been having diarrhea for the past couple days (stomach bug) and finally just used up what I had in me. I get to the hospital and the nurse checks my urine & blood.. Dr. says that he is surprised I was still standing I was so dehyrated.. I ended up getting 2 liters of fluids, and meds for nausea and diarrhea. Im home now, but still very weak.. Gosh I hope this passes soon!
Hope everyone else is having a great Easter!

Thank you..
Yes I keep track.. But the diarrhea was so bad, I lost everything I put in : (
It's very important to keep hydrated, you might want to start keeping track of your fluid intake. Try using a certain size water bottle, and know how many times you need to fill it.. so you can get to your min 64oz per day. Good luck!

Thanks sooooo much. I will get me a specific water bottle to keep track I know this already it seems like it all moves so fast
You're welcome.. it's hard to get all the water in at first.. Im 7 weeks out now and it has became alot easier with every week : )
I'm so sorry you wound up in the er ...best of luck hope you feel better.... I carry around a bottle of smar****er where ever I go its 33.8 oz and then just refill when need I know I have to drink 2 a day..... no thinking involved.... it's hard as hell for me right now but I'm trying... I've already been back for dehydrating. I don't want to do that again....
