I'm almost always thirsty...

[ThisIsMatt]

I'm always thirsty! I can drink 20 glasses of water in an hour and I'll still be thirsty (and have to piss like a race horse). What's up with that!?

 

[Buddhist]

get checked for diabetes etc.

it could be a serious problem.

course i'm not a doctor, but its common in cats to drink a TON of water if they have diabetes.

[Blayze]

if this happens I would go to the doctor and find out whats up?

just my 2 cents

 

[WasabiCat]

hmmm... there are some people who can't sense whether their thirst is quenched or not (it's like some kind of genetic disorder or something), maybe you're one of those people?

 

[Swag1138]

Yeah, make sure you get checked for diabetes. Specially if anyone in your family has it. I had a scare like that a few years ago where I went through a period where I was almost always thirsty, but thankfully it was just me being thirsty, but still, I wouldnt have been as sound of mind if I hadnt had myself checked.

 

[JohnnyKnoxville]

First thing thought of too is diabetes


<----- not a doctor just a drunk

I'm supposed to be in bed now...but just out of concern i've come back to post this link to the ADA (American diabetes association)

extreme thurst is one of the symptoms.


go get it checked out.

[ThisIsMatt]

diabetes...heh, I doubt it, I don't intake THAT much sugar Besides, wouldn't I have other symptoms?

My aunt I believe doesn't even have any saliva production, but I don't know if she was born that way or what...

 

[Buddhist]

uhmmm you don't need to take high sugar to get diabetes...its basically failure to process sugar, often high consumption of sugar etc causes this but sometimes people are just born with it. (Believe me, i know a couple SKINNY/ slim diabetics.)

Get checked out for the massive thurst thing anyhow...never take chances with health.
-M.T.O

On that note i want to go to bed.

 

[ThisIsMatt]

Okay, it's not MASSIVE thirst, and I sweat quite a bit...I think I'm cured though, after reading killbats thread about bacon my mouth started to water

 

[huey1124]

a big percentage of diabetics go on living everyday without knowing they're diabetic. it's getting to be an epidemic proportion. if you watch news regularly, you would know.

you don't have to have &quot;other symptoms&quot;. go get it checked out.

 

[dc]

seeing a doctor sounds like your best option.

 

[Crystal Bay]

What is your Blood sugar level???..

 

[ThisIsMatt]

<< What is your Blood sugar level???.. >>

What do you get when you cross an elephant with a rhino?

 

[Ulfwald]

An elephino

On a serious note, go get checked for diabetes.

3 things come to mind, psychogenic polydipsia, diabetes mellitus &amp; diabetes insipidus!:Q

 

[Pepsi90919]

you shouldn't even be questioning this...just go see a doctor.

my sis had diabetes for months without knowing and this was basically her only symptom...she couldn't stop drinking. see a doctor

 

[Thump553]

I know lots of skinny diabetics-they rigorously watch their diet, exercies, etc. they have severe problems. Don't fool around, go to a doctor-if it is diabetes, this is a KILLER diease if not properly treated. No joke.

 

[ajskydiver]

You could be developing Type II (Adult Onset Diabetes)...it occurs when you aren't producing enough insulin anymore OR the insulin you are producing isn't being used effectively.

In any case, go to a doctor and have him check your blood sugar. It's easy and a good first step.

I've had that symptom and a few others for a few months now...and they can't rule it out...but they can't catch me at a time when my blood sugar is too screwed up to be sure--I go back in two months to check again.

As always, a healthy diet and exercise are key in prevention of this..and just about everything else.
