Real quick before I go lay down. I went to my PCP and had them run some blood tests. I should know the results by Tues. She also checked to see if I was dehydrated and said I basically was and am on the verge of needing an IV drip. I have taken in about 40oz of fluid today( before I went to the DR) and still almost dehydrated. So this may be what is going on. SHe said it could cause extreme fatigue and dizziness. Get your fluids in folks!! I honestly think this has been spiraling since I got back from my trip. I am normally more diligent about everything but some times life takes over and you get so busy.... it's hard. Let this be a lesson for everyone. Along with protein, vitamins, and supplements...GET IN YOU FLUIDS!!! I have now learned the hard way that 40oz just isn't gonna cut it. Tonya

Oh please be careful. Remember that dehydration is what kept me in the hospital an additional 2 days. Your message was a wake up call to me though because I know I'm not drinking enough, I'm not eating enough and I'm not exercising enough. I've got to get my big ole (___!___) in gear! Take care of yourself -- stay well! Robin

Okay - I'm going to have to push my fluids. I don't get even 40 OZ in most days. I hate water! The the "other drinks" they say is okay as a substitute (crystal light or whatever) I can't stand! UGH....... I'm glad you're okay - but DRINK DRINK DRINK!

It's just so hard to get in the 64 oz. isn't it? We all need a little "booster shot" sometimes. I don't think I've EVER made 64 since my surgery 8/9. I'm up to about 48oz most days plus a protein shake that does count! but it's LIQUID! Haha. Take care.
