I've posted several times about ongoing symptoms of extreme depletion, dehydration, thirst, frequent urination which have been with me for 7 years now. I'm yet to find a solution despite endless medical tests.
When I initially posted about this here several felt it was a thyroid / metabolism issue, but at the same time I know they is the go to idea for this forum so I took it on board and tried much of what was recommended but saw little or no improvement. Saying that, I do notice more in recent months that eating regularly reduces my symptoms temporarily and my symptoms are worst at night when I go for 8 hours or so without taking in an nutrition. I wake up several times I night feeling extremely thirsty, urinating clear urine and feeling extremely depleted, to the point it feels like my heart is struggling to have the power to beat. I don't feel hungry at night per say but I certainly feel depleted like there's not enough glycogen or nutrition in my system. I guess it feels like I'm deficient somehow or my electrolytes are off but no obvious deficiency is present and no concoction of electrolytes makes any difference.
I'm following advice here and what my body is telling me to do and I'm eating more and eating regularly. I'm currently eating every few hours as it gives me temporary partial relief from feeling extremely depleted and thirsty/dry. But it's as though my body can't hold on to the nutrition I take in, or it's used up very quickly and I'm quickly back to feeling unbearable thirsty and depleted. I don't know if it's an actual organic thirst/dehydration at this point or just the way my body presents the symptoms, as even if I retain fluid a bit better at times, I still feel thirst.
I'm just again looking for advice on what to do. I'm on thyroid - T3 50mcg. I've played about with various dosages and different types of thyroid. This seems to be the best balance for me although it doesn't really help my symptoms. It's brought my cholesterol down to near normal levels. It was previously very high despite not being overweight so there was definitely so hypothyroid cholestasis going on I believe which I think is now mostly corrected. I don't think it's a malabsorption issue either, although there may have been a component of this previously. Bile salts, digestive enzymes and betain HCL seem to have resolved any malabsorption going by what I see but I still seem to be unable to keep satiated / hydrated / replenished.
It's like I'm in a constant battle with my body somehow becoming depleted and dehydrated, thirsty all the time. All of the typical things have been covered and can be seen in my other thread about dehydration but if anyone has any further ideas more specifically on why I seem to become deficient and depleted so rapidly all the time it would be appreciated. It feels like I have some form of nutritional, mineral, glycogen wasting, even that's even a thing, yet I am not losing weight, if anything I'm gaining slowly so I must be using the calories to an extent.
Thanks all.
