Medical Question

[andyf]

The last week or so, I've been getting increasingly thirsty on a seemingly constant basis.

I've kept tabs on how much fluid I've been drinking and it's been really quite high.

But especially after 6-7pm, I go a bit dry and feel thirsty, so I drink like a pint of water but I'm thirsty again about 10 minutes later, and I get to the point where I can't drink any more (stomach hurts). What's going on?

Isn't thirst one of the signs of diabetes?

Usually accompanied by dizzy spells.

Maybe dehydration due to the ammount of beer you've been drinking??? :D

Mmm that was my initial though too, other symptoms are needing a piss all the time, poor eye sight, being irritable when hungry... Sugar fix.

Think you can be tested pretty easily for diabetes.

Could also be a form of flu-type bug.

Check to see if you are getting tired, experiencing shortness of breath or sugar-shortages.

Just get it checked, whatever. You pay your taxes, so use the health service!
