Drought Within Myself!

I continually go back and forth back and forth with my water consumption. One week I'll drink more than I can bare and the next week I drink hardly any, and then press repeat.

Well that is the way it usually goes.....I don't remember the last time I was on a week where I drank more than I could bare. Lately I've been seriously having a drought within myself. Like legit I've drank no water.

Well is has finally caught up to me. Signs of mild dehydration are (but not limited to
  • Thirst
  • Loss of Appetite
  • Dry Skin
  • Skin Flushing
  • Dark Colored Urine
  • Dry Mouth
  • Fatigue or Weakness
  • Chills
  • Head Rushes
(The ones I am experiencing are in bold) 

Yesterday, about mid day I started to develop this awful headache. The kind where the front of your head kills and if you sneeze or cough or shake your head your whole brain feels like it's pinging around in your skull. Well I tried to take something but it didn't really work it just took the edge off. After work I ended up going to bed really early hoping I could sleep it off but I woke with the same aweful headache!!! On my Birthday!! I hate feeling sick on my Birthday it is awful!!! Anyway so I am chalking this all up to most likely being dehydrated so I am drowning myself in water!!!


I have to take care of myself, no one else is going to!

Aw, Happy Birthday! I have the hardest time getting in all my water. Confession: I don't think I've gotten in all my water ONCE since my surgery!

I hope you feel better so you can enjoy your birthday!
