Many medications can make you feel dry, but also if you have low thyroid, everything can feel dry. You may have to drink more water .

Okay, that will be tough, but I can try more water. Low thyroid, interesting, I can look into that. Thanks.

Electrolytes ( sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, phosphate) are important for absorbing the water that you drink- these can be obtained through food, or by drinking high-electrolyte beverages like coconut water

I’m going through the same thing right now. It’s the meda and low thyroid for me. Be very careful with excesive water drinking since even if you drink coconut water which is great for you, you still loose potassium and sodium if you pee too much.
Chech it put with your doctor, I have to be told what to drink and when since my body is so dry right now. Best of luck!

Thank you cooltonepaints and NotaBookPatient.

Hi Jarrey, sorry I didn't see this before now. I take several different types of Antihistamines each day for different reasons that cause extremely dry skin and dehydration. As well as a Long Acting Morphine and Oxycodone, which cause severe Dry Mouth and are ruining my teeth, I was flossing the other night and literally broke a big chunk of 1 of my Molars off with the floss. I've already had to have a Bridge put in my upper left jaw from Narcotic damage, and have broken 2 other Molar's on my lower jaws, 1 on each side from the severe dry mouth. Also one of my Liver Disease meds causes dehydration, s I have to be very careful and very adamant about using moisturizers each night and morning on my face and neck. I use a new brand I get at Trader Joe's now called "Kiss My Face" because, all it is is whipped and creamed Olive Oil without all of the fillers and chemicals. I used to use $45 a jar Loreal night cream but it has so many perfumes and chemicals in it, it would make my skin breakout in a rash, so I just stick with the Whipped Olive Oil, its all natural, you could literally squeeze some in a spoon and eat it and be perfectly safe.. If I don't stay adamant about moisturizing morning and night my skin dries up like I've been on the beach for a week, it's bad. I also have the Thyroid issues to deal with.

you do need to keep hydrated and there are many options. you can drink water, juice, flavored spring waters Those frozen juice pops work well if your out playing around on a hot day. Try to avoid being out in the heat for too long at one time. Swimming in a pool, not saltwater can get you very hydrated as we know. Once your overexposed from the heat, go inside and take a very lukewarm/cool shower and get your body heat down.

If you're getting over heated outside at home take a cool/lukewarm bath thats had at least 4 full cups of salt added to it. It will cool your body down safely and quickly. Try to take regular 15 min. breaks 4 times a day if your working outside all day, they are required to be given to you by your employer. So that you can stay hydrated, cool, and in a calm manner.

Take Care,
Kat
