Anyone experienced sweating to the extent it puts you in hospital with dehydration that drinking won’t win over?

all they could tell me. Is that it’s messed with my hormones but can’t offer any relief or help other than fluids for dehydration.  Anyone els had this and found anything to help ? 

  • Hi that sounds really unpleasant.  I don't have experience of this but I think when you are loosing that much bodily fluid water alone isn't enough because you also need to replace the electrolytes you have sweated out.  

    Dehydration and low electrolytes is a serious condition so make sure you follow your doctor's advice on what you should be drinking and how much.

    Hopefully it all sorts itself out over time.

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
