| Yes, I have heard about drinking too much water. Don't panic here but if you
have kidney trouble it can be a strain on them. Drink lots, but in
moderation. Sorry, sounds wierd, I mean drink a lot but don't overdo it! Also
think about other fluids you drink as your kidneys have to process them too.
Caffiene drinks can end up dehydrating you. Think about sweat, do you sweat
at all as water comes out in your sweat. It comes out in your breath, and
more so in central heated houses. I think a gallon of water is rather a lot
to be honest.
Another thing to think about is salt. That can make you "need" more water and
is a big strain on your kidneys and heart. Did your doc check your heart out?
I know all this as I have has lupus nepritis twice.
Hope you feel better soon. For skin, did any of you try the things I listed
in my post about skin, last week?
I thought a bit more about diet and skin too. Some foods are very good for
dry skin, avocadoes for example. Will post some when I think of them.
I have dermatitis and my clothes labels drive me mad. I have to cut them off.
Just behind my neck and lower back are bad spots for label rub, and are
really painful at the moment. Must eat some avocadoes ;-)
