mrsnate 55 Posted May 15, 2012 Luckily it's nothing too serious, but I'm dehydrated and I have a UTI. I starting running a fever last night which of course had me worried, so I'm relieved it's a UTI. It amazes me how much better I feel with the IV fluids too. Thank heaven for modern medicine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mab 44 Posted May 15, 2012 Dehydration can make you feel like you're suffering from something absolutely horrible! Thank goodness they got you on fluids - you'll be feeling better soon, I hope. UTI's suck SO MUCH. Take care! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrsnate 55 Posted May 17, 2012 Thanks so much for checking on me. I feel a little better today but because I'm working so hard to drink so much, my calorie intake has been super low. I don't know how to balance it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
God's Grace 3 Posted May 17, 2012 How does a doctor/ER know that you are dehydrated and need fluids? What other signs/symptoms indicate dehydration other than dark urin and not needing to use the restroom? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
