This is going out on a limb here and I'm not trying to gaslight you but is it possible this could be part psychosomatic. This doesn't mean that the pain isn't real and you not are suffering from dehydration but you could be making it worse by obsessing over it and programming yourself to feel pain. So for example the unconscious mind is trained to believe that if you go without water you get pain so this is what happens.
*edit* just clarifying re the post below. Don't ignore anything and make sure you get checked out by a doctor
Oh yeah, I thought that's what it was at first but last month, I got severe pancreatitis because I couldn't stop vomiting due to dehydration and yesterday was almost the same. I vomited twice but forced water, tea and Gatorade down and now I'm feeling a bit better.
That sounds like it could potentially be something like diabetes or even a kidney issue. I would recommend getting that checked out as unquenchable thirst is often a sign of a larger medical issue.
I went to the doctor and had scans, the6 said I just need to remember to drink more but if I drink too much at one time, I get nauseas, but having to drink a little more often is hard to remember, though I'm trying really hard.
I have to drink water with electrolytes in due to various conditions. It tastes better and makes you feel a bit better. You can buy electrolyte tablets on Amazon and put them in a large jug of water. I buy zero electrolyte tabs. It might help with headaches and feeling crappy. Alot of people are probably dehydrated and if you're hyper mobile our bodies have issues with profusion of blood up to the brain. That's why I have electrolyte drinks.
Any specific recommendation? What's it taste like? I like Gatorade but it's so sugary and zero sugar Gatorade tastes awful.
excessive amounts of thirst is a sign of something being wrong with your body, id get that checked out
its not that I'm excessively thirsty, it's that I literally forget to drink water. Like on a good day, I'll drink 32 ounces, half of what my body needs. I think it might be an ADHD thing that I forget but idk.
Before being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, I was constantly drinking water and always needing more. Also had to pee all the time. It's a very specific type of thirst, like water literally feels like a magical elixir. If your thirst is not this severe and you are not peeing more than usual, it is probably not what I have, but it is still very much worth getting checked out, as it could still be a resolvable medical issue.
For me, water alone especially at once makes me incredibly nauseas. I don't know why. The doctors said there's nothing wrong.
