As I've grown old. I've noticed my body losing it's ability to retain moisture. Flaky dry skin, peeing out water soon after drinking water. A new slimy feeling in the back of my throat. Dry eyes in the morning Had a test for diabetus, negative. Asked a doctor about my symptoms as an extra during during a visit for a skin infection. Got PRATFO'd. Any of you fine folks had similar problems? TC 250/8YOE
Drink more water. Use a moisturizer. Use a humidifier at night
It could be related to your skin condition. Reduce histamine producing foods and increase probiotic foods. Supplements need a doctor's guidance.
Keep hydrated - you’re peeing a lot so your body needs it. Drink stuff like Gatorade or something else to keep it interesting as drinking tons of water is just going to seem like a drone. If your physicals check out for no diseases, then use a moisturizer and humidifier as others have suggested. Worrying about it makes it worst as you’re fixated on it and you convince yourself that something is wrong -> you feel ill -> you actually become ill -> you notice more things wrong -> vicious cycle of self fulfilling prophecies.
Did you check for diabetes mellitus or insipidus?
Use Vaseline. Drinking more water actually flushed water outta your body. Vaseline makes a barrier for your skin.
I am skeptical there is one underlying mechanism to explain all your symptoms. Sure they are related by “water loss” but how would flaky skin be related to the others? Does everything go away when you drink more water?
I saw this title and thought the OP was talking about the trapped rain water problem. This is what LC has done to me. 😑
Was waiting for this comment because I felt like a dumbass as well but was too embarrassed to admit it..
You can only retain about a 1L of water an hour approximately. Anything more than that goes to waste. Hydration is more about slow and steady.
