room where I was diagnosed with severe dehydration. How can this possibly be when I am eating and drinking normally as I do every day? I am 56 years old with no real medical concerns, except metabolic
syndrome. Last week (Nov) I went to the doctor to complain of intermittent right back pain, sometimes quite severe, but never laqsting long. Blood tests are normal, abdominal ultrasound shows nothing significant except an enlarged
. Should I be concerned? Could the dehydration somehow be related to the enlarged spleen? What could be causing the pain? My kidneys are fine. Comments welcomed! ~mikki
