You definitely should see a doctor and have some blood work done...are you diabetic??  Extreme thirst is a symptom of diabetes.  As for using periods and commas, I don't think that, that is the important thing here...you came here for help, not commentary on your punctuation skills!  Some people have difficulty spelling, but, it would be rude to point out those short comings...I apologize for those remarks.  Please see a doc and let us know how it's going for you...;)

By stating, "...if not more sweets don't bug me i don't do exercise(this body was built for comfort not speed)" makes one wonder if the poster will follow doctors orders.

Bottom line, needtoknow1967, you need to see a doctor and get thoroughly checked out. You wouldn't have posted unless you felt you have diabetic issues. But also keep in mind excessive thirst may be caused by other serious complications other than diabetes.
