Dehydration again?
Cut for a bit of TMI
I don't know what was going on with me yesterday.
I felt like I did back around Thanksgiving '09, basically cruddy in the intestinal area, though thankfully without nausea; remembering that the doctor recommended milk of magnesia, I finally broke down and took some--always a last resort, as simply remembering the taste makes me shudder--and that helped a little. But then, when I went to bed early, I couldn't fall asleep, and eventually my mouth was dry and my hands were going numb, which was what happened at camp last year. The last time I was at Target I picked up some Gatorade single-serve packs just for this sort of thing, and so I had some of that, which seemed to help. Granted, I had to get up and pee a few times, but after 2 I finally was able to fall asleep and stay asleep for several hours. I did eventually realize I also had, er, movement issues at camp, and part of that probably was related to lack of hydration, among other things. Oh, okay. I think there's a few issues related to what's going on this time, but now that I've realized I've been through this before, well, it probably isn't that serious, and putting my mind somewhat at ease is a good thing. Stress certainly doesn't help, and adding stress on top of it (as in, is something seriously wrong here? *WORRY*) is not a good thing.
