I guess I just started cutting back on the water since my treatment was going pertty well for me and trust me it did effect me in a big way I'm 3 days just drinking water and Gatorade just to be able to function and now still drinking to catch up its just better to have a steady flow of fluid into your body rather then play catch up

Yes indeed,especially if you drink lots of coffee since coffee as diuretic effect it dehydrates the body and can cause diarrhea which would further dehydrate your body,the meds also dehydrate your body.So if you drink coffee drink more water,at the very least 10 glasses a day.
