So good to hear your better Marcia. I was always told the same about

drinking lots of water, especially with the meds we take. It helps flush

the system, I think. I was always told it helped when I had butterflies in

my heart, lol. I don't know exactly what they call that. Anyway, I am very

glad to hear they didn't find a serious complication that caused the episode

and we sure hope it does not happen again. Till soon, Melt

Water

Dear Tricia,

I recently just switched to drinking tons of water. I was very addicted to

soda, drinking sometimes over a six pack a day. With all the weight from the

meds and especially the prednisone, I wanted to stop drinking soda and switch to

water because of the sugar calories. I have been drinking water for about 8

weeks now, a lot sometimes with lemon to make it easier, anyway.....I sweat

horrible and I mean horrible... sometimes I don't take my temp anymore because I

am not sure if it is the drenching sweats or fevers, because my fevers are

considered another persons normal temp. We had a huge discussion on this last

week, but I drink water as soon as I sweat. My mouth gets very dry and I feel

like I am gasping for air at times. I tend to fever in the morning and at

night, and the water tends to cool me down and I think sometimes...yes...keep my

fever down. A very good point Marcia. So yes, I would tend to agree with you

on that, but at other times, it's so hard to figure out what is going on with me

either......I am sorry that this is so confusing. It's just that the sweats are

horrible, and lately they are really bad, and I know that the warm weather is

coming, so I am not looking forward to sweating more. I hope that this wasn't

too confusing. Be well friend, and it's so nice to hear from you and know that

you are doing much better. We were very worried about you Marcia. Keep us

updated.

Love, Sue #2

Hi Marcia,

Am happy to hear you are doing so well, and no more

" episodes of unconsiousness! "

I agree about the water part. When I was in the hospital,

so sick..and running those outrageous fevers, I would be

continually asking for water pitcher refills. The nurses were

asking if I was dumping it out somewhere...nope..I drank

and drank because I just felt that was what my body needed.

I think there are times when we definately do need more water!

Take care, Tricia
