I used to do the same, breasts were painful, clothes tight, hands and feet swelled in the summer and then it settled and I would pee it out as I started to bleed. It might be worth popping to the doc as the other thing which can cause thirst is diabetes, but I don't think that has a hormonal aspect.
hi woof... ive looked at symptoms of diabetes and apart from thirst and blurry vision thats all i have so guessing its not that... i could go get tested next time im at docs to make sure though.... like you said about hormonal makes me think its not that as it not a constant thing.... its unbelievable how much im drinking though.. thanks x
Another thought : be careful about drinking too much water it can cause hyponatremia http:// www.may oclinic .com/he alth/hy ponatre mia/DS0 0974
thanks for suggestion ST but i dont really have much sugar in my diet at all ... or salt (as i know that can make you thirsty too) i do like grapefruit juice though .... i once read about someone that drank so much water he drowned.... said he had drunk equivalent to a bath tub full... the mind boggles
thanks madmen... i thought lloyds did it but wasnt sure... might just bob in and get tested tomorrow if i can
sqad... really really heavy.... always been like this and all women in my family are same :( ... i go to loo a hell of a lot from about a day or two before my period until about 3 - 5 days in... my usual period lasts at least 7 to 9 days :(
