Felt pretty much just as bad today as yesterday, without the ability to sleep. So I made an appointment to see my normal Doc.

One and a half hour "lunch" later, you're still dehydrated (WTF? I had over 20 oz of fluid before I came in!), change your diet to more "binding" foods (lucky I like rice) and get bloodwork done to confirm there's no actual infection.

I couldn't wait for the bloodwork, so I have to reschedule this for some weekend. If I do it, since I'm going to have to PAY for it.

I'm wondering if this is all just STRESS, because, really. Dehydrated? Again? Yeah, not buying it.

Can I just be put into a coma until Oct 1?

Dehydration is one of those things which can easily get to you. You drank over 20ox of fluid before you came in, but how much has been coming out?

A friend of mine who routinely works in hot, dry environments (she's an Egyptologist who does field-work) says that if you aren't peeing every hour, you aren't drinking enough. I don't know if I'd go that far, but drinking water until you are peeing regularly is a good thing.

One of my health problems is dehydration, even though I drink so much (both my fat and diabetes make me trend towards dehydration). It doesn't bother me because I'm used to it. But I still judge my hydration through my output.

Hum. Between 8 am and 1 pm, I had gone to the bathroom...3-4 times.
