I heard back from the doctor about my labs and she ordered IV fluids at the infusion center at the hospital. No anemia, just blood volume depletion, this causing the super low blood pressures. My appointment is at 3:00 today. Heading over soon. 

Just wanted to update you all in case anyone else has this issue. 

Other than that, feeling great!!!

Aww dehydration sucks! Been there and done that. But the brighter side is, you will feel SO much better once you get that IV. Fluids are truly a challenge in this journey, I am still trying to get a grip on it. Feel better soon!

Awesome that you aren't anemic! You are so not alone in the struggle to keep hydrated, though. I'm starting a pretty serious exercise regimen tomorrow, and I am worried about being able to stay hydrated as I've found it a real challenge even before adding in exercise. Gah!

All best, Renee.

Hi Renee,

Glad you got some answers, hope the IV was a great success. Hydrating is not as easy as it sometimes seems like it should be. I am online right now as I drink the last of today's water--it may be a bit obsessive but I do not let myself go to bed until I have made my daily goal.

all the best, Katy
