Went to dr. Yesterday and they wanted to put me in hospital. I begged to go home they gave me 24 hours to flood body with fluids. So this sucks to feel so good and to being suck in bed drinking away. But I'm doing it. So far I got 30 oz in. How do y'all have kids, and careers get it all in.

Can I ask how you feel? I am dizzy as all get out and wonder if I am not drinking enough fluids.

Not dizzy but I should have been. They had trouble finding my blood pressure when they did it was high for me. Now that I have been flushing my system with water I feel my kidneys hurting. I think they are just in shock from water again. I wasn't getting 16 oz a day for a couple of days

Are you eating enough? I was getting dizzy when I was only getting about 400 calories a day. Once I raised that to 500-600 and added an isopure type protein drink (I can't drink shakes), I started to feel a gazillion times better.

I am just constantly drinking. If I don't have a glass or bottle of water or a cup of tea in my hand it is only when I am asleep. I prepositioned water in the car, in the pocket of my jacket, beside my bed, in the bathroom...yeah...I never was much of a drinker before and knew I needed to take drastic measures to get used to liquifying myself. At work its going to be a challenge but hopefully I will manage too.

Yes your right it is work to drink all the fluids. I never was much of a drinker and I know I don't get enough in everyday. Went and go****er right now after I read your posts. Thanks

You have to do it...not negotiable! If you are not peeing at least 5 times a day, get thee more fluids!!!! Just check yourself each time you have nothing in your hand, go get a glass or a bottle. For some it works to measure out 64 oz in two or three bottles every morning and you have to have it down by the end of the day...I treat it like meds. Gotta take 'em.
