OMG!!!
I am so thirsty. I cannot get enough to drink. I am always with a drink of some sort anyway... even before vaping. What seems like forever ago, I was hospitalized for dehydration and it scared me so bad that over the years I have convinced myself that I just cannot function without some sort of beverage within fingers reach. But the last 3 days have been a horrible nightmare. I cannot get enough water. So bad so that it is waking me up several times in the middle of the night. I have tried water at all different temps, to try and and quench it. I have tried, iced tea, juices, sodas, milk.. anything I can think of and nothing is working. At the risk of getting way to personal.... there is A LOT of liquid going into this body and very very very little coming out (anywhere).
Yesterday morning on my way into work I stopped and got a 24 pack of 8 ounce water bottles. Before I left work 9 hours later.... there was not a single bottle left. Not one single time did I use the restroom during this 9 hour period. So last night I get home and make a gallon pitcher of sweet ice tea. 2 hours later the gallon is gone. Still no bathroom. Right before bed I finally was able to pee. Might as well just say it. lol It was very very dark and strong. I guess before I really go into a panic, I wanted to ask if this is normal or has happened with anyone else and will it go away? I don't feel sick or bloated or anything like that. Just constantly thirsty. 
Goodness, Stacey! I'm no Doc and I know vaping is supposed to cause mild dehydration and you're supposed to drink considerably more water, but this sounds like a bigger issue. I would personally see my Doc.
Yeah, as soon as I posted and read what I wrote, I picked up the phone. I have an appt this afternoon. It didn't seem so bad til I seen it in writing. To pee 1 time in a 24 hour time period with all the water I am drinking.... cannot be a good thing.
Nope. Not a good thing. Go get checked out - just to make sure.
I agree; something's wrong. Also, a doctor recently told me that if you drink anything caffeinated, it cancels out any hydration the liquid would give you, so stay away from caffeinated beverages if you want to get hydrated. That includes tea and soda, as well as coffee. I find that when I get thirsty from vaping, nothing quenches my thirst as well as plain water.
I'm so glad! I'm crossing my fingers for you. Best of luck in figuring out what's going on. Sometimes, that's half the battle.
Also, and this is for everyone, try not to drink nothing but tons of pure water. A condition called "Hyponatremia" is caused by drinking loads and loads of water, without replenishing the sodium, electrolytes and potassium that are flushed out in the process. It can literally kill you. The best way to protect yourself from this condition is to intersperse your water intake with a few Gatorades, or other sports drinks, here and there. Please note that we're talking GREAT BIG GOBS of water, for this to happen. Our friend Jim was sick, forcing himself to keep phisically training himself and he drank 3 gallons of water in a few hours. It stopped his heart and he died. Sorry for the scary post.
it depends on your state but medicare supplemental policies may be issued without pre-exisiting issues... I know NY is one of those states... I hope Indiana is one of those states

!!!! yay I will keep you posted on the news!!!I have a vacation day today, stretch out the long holiday weekend. I had planned on driving up to an Indian Casino which is about a 90 minute drive. But on the first leg of the journey I got stuck on a 2-lane road where they were doing construction. After a half hour of inching along and only progressing a 1/4 mile, with 9 miles more to go, I made a u-turn and went back home. I'm going to drown my sorrows in some chips & a margarita. Maybe try again tomorrow.
