I was so dehydrated I got ADMITTED....

I was at the emergency room yesterday due to dehydration. They poked me all over my arms and couldn’t find my veins. I usually have bad veins, but this time around due to my dehydrated state it turned out to be worse. My veins really disappeared and the poking became unbearable even though I had to deal with it. The third nurse was able to find a good vein and Bingo!! I was able to start my re-hydration. I can’t believe how awful I felt from lack of oxygen and fluids in my body.

Can you believe sometimes you get symptoms that really aren’t similar to those of dehydration? Yep, I felt neck stiffness, dizziness and headache. Seriously I thought I should’ve felt thirsty and somewhat lightheaded, but what really surprised me was the “sunken eyes”. Sunken eyes are one of the symptoms of dehydration. The neck stiffness was due to my head ache. I immediately felt better as soon as the IV released through my veins, it was amazing.

I spent about a day and some hours, and then I was released. I feel as though I should walk around with a jug of pedialyte or some propel all the time since I have this issue allot. I don’t think I’m alone in this since a few folks were there for the same issues, but whether the reasons were the same, that I really can‘t say.

I do wonder if my dieting has anything to do with this, but I think I lost about 50 lbs just on body liquids. I really wouldn't like to loose weight like that, it's was really scary.
