What's dehydration feel like?

I know I did not have many fluids in today, nor did I have enough protein. We went to the Cinci Children's Museum, and when we left (about 5pm), I was having some flu-like symptoms including nausea, chills, and fatigue. It went away after a bit, but when we got home, DH made me some salmon, and I sipped a bit of water as he was making it. I started to feel sick again. It went away, I ate some salmon, and now it's back again. I'm scared that I'm dehydrated, but I have no idea what it feels like. I really feel like crap! Anyone have some ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hey Sarah, I still get dehydrated once in awhile especially as hot as it;s been..I get the shakes, feel like I am coming down with something..very weak then I realize I didn't get enough water in..I just started drinking as much as I can as quickly as I can with sipping not gulping. If you are having problems and not feeling any better call the office and talk to Dr. Tom. I havn't had to do this but I know some folks that had to take liquids via IV. Don't put it off if you are not better today, dehydration can be dangerous! Brenda

THanks, Brenda. I did lie down and sip water all night and am feeling 100% today. That was scary! I do have to call the office tomorrow to clarify which stage diet I am in, though, so I'll bring it up. Thanks again!

Sarah...talk to your Doctor for sure. I once passed out from dehydration and low blood pressure. Make sure you are also getting in some B12. Use the sublinguals...you cannot get B12 in a pill....you must take shots or put a sublinqual under the tongue. Low B12 also causes fatigue. You probably were dehydrated...thats what it sounds like...especially since it is much better today...keep sipping all day today.... Hugs Charlie from Florida (just cruisin' the boards)

I hope you get to feeling better Sarah! Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you! Take care sweetie-- Dee
