Always hoping Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hello everyone. I'm curious if anyone experiences this. When I have a bad episode (tachy, fainty, spinning, generally feeling like my body has gone scary crazy) I can tell when the episode is starting to end by the EXTREME thirst that comes. It's as if I can't get enough fluids for a long period and my mouth is like cotton. This has happened since I first got sick. Does this happen to anyone or any ideas why this happens? Be well!

Guest KiminOrlando Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Yes! When that happens I drink as much as I can because I think it is my body telling me it needs it. For me I have noticed that I get thirsty before an episode, just a little, and if I drink, it can delay symptoms sometimes. I always have a drink with me. ALWAYS. I sleep with water by my bed. Sometimes I even refill the glass in the middle of the night. I buy purses big enough to carry bottles of water with me when I leave the house. Earlier this week I went clothes shopping unexpectedly (Grand Opening SALE!) and ran out of water in the dressing room which makes me a bit panicky. BUT.... I ? Florida because at the check out line is a refrigerator with water and Gatorade... I drank one before I finished checking out. I was hot, sweating, out of breath, tachy and my legs and ankles had swollen huge, but I got two blouses. Then I got to my scorching hot car where the temperature guage said 101° F outside and drank the other one on the way home. When July and August come around, you may have to remind me that I like Florida. ??? For me, being sensitive to my thirst ques has helped.

Always hoping Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks for responding Kim. Like you, a bottle of liquid is always by my side. Lol. I'm sure that my body needs it when I crave it so badly. It just seems that when I am fully hydrated before a major episode, the extreme craving when it is "ending" is strange. It's always my sign that the craziness is settling down. And of course that I will be running to the bathroom for the next several hours! Not sure I would survive a summer in Florida! Stay cool!!

MomtoGiuliana Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Yes I used to experience this as well. So strange. I do find in my more symptomatic times that drinking coconut water is helpful. It contains potassium which I think is part of what I am craving when I feel that way. Hopefully over time these symptoms will not be as extreme for you.
