Always thirsty !!!

by frwbeach, May 05, 2008 06:58AM
  I posted this under Diabetes because that is what my doc thinks its relative to .  I am always thirsty and constantly drinking and going to the bathroom all day . I will go through 6- 8 cups of coffee--and about  2 gallons of water during a normal day . My sugar tests always come back under 120 .  Docs have done many blood tests and  say I have  mild Diabetes and have me on Metamorphin I believe it is . It is very frustrating but sometimes I drink fluids until I am ready to burst.  I am on Avalide for high BP but have talked to others with diabetes ( some on insulin ) and on BP meds and they drink nowhere near whay I do or feel thirsty all the time.  My body weight can fluctuate as much as 10 lbs during the week ( daily 3-5 max ) .  I do have occular Rosacea ( shows lightly on skin ) and taking tetracycline- High BP but otherwise feel fine.  I have tryed forcing myself NOT to drink--if I do that I sometimes get real lightheaded and queezy at my stomach and feel like passing out .     As I have said I have talked to many with sugar and none have this issue.

Any Ideas?????   Have seen a few different docs  .

Thanks
