Jacquie802 Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi Everyone!! Just wondering if anyone has excessive thirst problems. I am pretty sure I am not dehydrated, my urine is as clear as water! I have been soo thirsty today. At the very least I have drank 7 8oz. glasses of water/gatorade. I usually get bouts of thirst that last around an hour, but I have had this problem all day...Just wondering if anyone has any ideas..I felt alright for a while today, then felt soo dizzy and thought I was going to fall over so I took my second dose of Florinef. I seem to feel a little better now. I am wondering how long the Florinef works in your system...?Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Sawicki Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I get excessively thirsty too. I take licorice root, which helps cut down on the excessive thirst. You can find info on how florinef works on the main site.Take care,Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d4g7 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Wow, licorice root - I should try that.I too have bout of excessive thirst. There was a stage about 4 months ago where I was drinking between 6 and 8 litres of water per day, and still felt thirsty.I'm now down to about 3 or 4 litres, which is still a lot, but works for me.

yogini Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Jacquie,If you are taking florinef, that could be what is making you thirsty. It makes you retain more salt. Florinef is a steroid. Once you start taking it, I think it stays in your system for at least a week or two. It doesn't wear off the way beta blockers do.-Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 You can end up feeling very thirsty by drinking too much water as well. If you drink excessively, you will urinate more and more and won't retain the fluid you've taken in. Just something to keep in mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawn Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 With excessive thirst you should always think of high blood sugar or dehydration. I can't remember if Florinef effects blood sugar or not. You might want to ask your pharmacist. When I took florinef I wasn't thirsty though I never am. It did deplete the sodium in my urine so I had to stop taking it. Be sure to get your sodium and potassium checked often.Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
