Drinking water

Your guess is as good as mine, material girl.

So whats your guess??Dont leave me hangin!!Hehe.

Im wondering exactly how much I need to drink in order to catch up on what my fluids should be in order to function normally.

The trouble is Im in constant need of toilet visits.

I think drinking water is vastly overrated. I might drink one or two glasses a year and I am one of the healthiest individuals you will ever encounter.

Are you sure you're not just naturally dizzy, material girl?

Are you blonde?

Material girl- And so can many other conditions, some physical, some psychological. If you are suffering from these symptoms, I would suggest a complete physical checkup from your MD, with blood work. ( The blood work is very important. It can "solve" a lot of mysteries!) Don't wait, and good luck!

Cripes, I seem to be a walking disater area!!

Nope Gust, Im a true chestnutty brunette.

Water is a swell cure. Ya just gotta have the right problem.

Get that bloodwork. Could be serious. Could also be easily treated.

Chestnutty brunette

Oh yes,brunettes are best baby!!None of that Pamela Anderson stuff going on here!!

She's a fake blon... I mean... everything.

I have heard that 90% of headaches are caused by dehydration...

That's all I know.

It could also because you're not eating properly, or enough. If you only eat a couple times a day, your energy levels are going to go through ups and downs...spread meals out over 4-6 times during a day. Keeps your metabolism going, and you'll have steadier energy levels.

And you should be drinking more than a liter of water a day. Not like you can just chug down some water and all your problems disappear.

Have you consulted a physician about your symptoms?

I dont like going to doctors.i feel like im just causing them problems(silly I know).
Id like ot eat smal meals a few times a day but I never know what to eat at meal times and thats only 2/3 times a day so Id be useless thinking of 6 meals.

Eating twice a day just isn't healthy, and may be part of the reason you're feeling like crap. It slows down your metabolism as well, because your body has to adjust to using those two meals to provide energy for the whole day. This can lead to the dizziness and lethargy you're talking about.

When I say 4-6 "meals," this doesn't mean full blown dinners. Even if you just have a nutrition bar, or some yogurt and fruit, it will help. It's not that hard to adjust to a well rounded diet.

Yep, your right.Ive come to like peppers(especially red ones)I could snack on them, and carrots and apples.
Im lactose intolerant so yoghurt is a no no.

After I eat my tummy goes doolally and I have to sit in discomfort for hours which I dont like doing which is why I havnt done it before, but time for a change.

Why do we only eat twice a day??Whose silly idea was that??!!

I agree with Slappy re: eating 4-6 small meals during the day. You should try to have a small amount of protein at each of those mini-meals to help stabilize any blood sugar spikes. Good protein sources include low-fat dairy, nuts, beans and lean meats. Hummus is a good snack because it has a good mix of carbs, protein and mono-unsaturated fat. The water you take in should be spread out over the course of the day - 8 oz or so every couple hours.

The symptoms you listed can also all be the result of anemia (low iron) which is another manifestation of not eating right. They can also be caused by a number of other things.

I'd suggest a visit to the dr. for some blood work to help differentiate dehydration from anemia from ???? Also, you should be taking a good multivitamin with iron each day.

Good point.

Women in particular should take a multivitamin, considering most don't eat properly(well most people in general don't). A women's multi will have iron and calcium, two things they usually don't get enough of through their diets, since iron is from red meat(and women lose blood), and calcium through dairy.

Thank you, Dr. Slappy.

Hmm, i did take iron tablets a few months back for about a mnth as I heard it was good for the skin but again, I didnt see any benefits.

You're very welcome.

By the way, did that cream I gave you clear up your ass herpes?
