Re: Re: -fasting question for tests

[Guest guest]

I know they have a lot of trouble getting blood from me, and I was told that

too- because of my level of hydration.Now, I am drinking a lot of fluids

daily(mostly water and ice tea) and yet they say I am still dehydrated? Is

this related to hashimoto's you think? Or even adrenal fatigue? I am not

diabetic.Another thought---related to anemia?

Feisty with lots of questions!

Dehydration is adrenal, as you are not diabetic.

, when you were hospitalized, was it ever determined that your kidneys

are " turning out " most of the fluid you put in, rather than reintroducing

the sodium and water again to the body. Most hypoadrenal people, I've been

reading, have a LOT of trouble holding onto their salt and body water. I

think that the abnormal fluid loss is actually responsible for the salt

losing syndrome. The permanent form of this is called hyponatremia, I

THINK, but what I've seen on this quirk of the kidney is that they withhold

water, so that the body will hang onto the salt, plus they increase the salt

in the diet. I frankly think that a lot of these people actually have

hypoadrenal problems instead, but I'm not sure. None of their water is

stored, so therefore, they also lose their salt right out their urine, which

repeats the thirst cycle and salt loss.
