I have been reporting this "no thirst" symptom for years. Yesterday I had a breakfast coffee and a bed-time small glass of milk But had eaten fruit at each meal. Was feeling "off" all day - a cold coming? No. Am very sensitive to air pollution and it can get to bronchitis if I do not immediately begin a routine of rest, fluids, salt water up nose, gargling with Listerine, vitamin C, nasal saline spray. Have other symptoms which, according to Medhelp forum for autonomic dysfunction, might indicate POTS: low b.p,. low temp, low pulse, slow and shallow breathing, severe periodic leg movement syndrome day and night, sometimes dizzy, stumbling about, tilting sometimes. Was a fainter when younger...Salty snacks at bedtime and drinking water suggested. I can do this for a while but soon forget! But as fit as a fiddle for my 80 years! Yearly bloods fine. Was gardening until I crushed my hand,10 weeks after successful finger contraction surgery. My research tells me that the autonomic system (CNS) governs thirst. This system can be unstable. Am seen in neurology, sleep medicine, Will research Addisons. Tks. Good luck to all. idmView Thread
