Am I dehydrated?!
Question: I've had a cold since yesterday,I havent drank anything but pepsi.. I know,its bad..but I HATE water. My mouth is dry,I'm so tired I can hardly move..and to top it off I'm having severe cramps from just it being that time of the month. Is there any way I can tell if i'm dehydrated,or is it pretty obvious?
I tried drinking water,but it made me sick feeling like i was about to puke... help?!

if you are 21 or older, you can have coffee with whiskey to help with both the cold and the cramps (alcohol lessens cramping from menstral cycles as well as stopping contractions in labor). pepsi has caffiene, which can dehydrate you, but it is a liquid which will give you fluids too. pepsi is better than nothing. I also hate water, but crystal lite makes packets to add to bottled water that taste great and are very low in calories -- what a great way to start drinking water again. hope this helps.
how about drinking some orange juice?
I wouldn't ask if I were dehydrated. If I were worried about it, I'd just get some juice and start drinking. Or you can get flavor for your water. Or start drinking any one of a zillion drinks that are available. Just steer as clear from caffeine as possible. I do think juice is best, you may want to stay away from apple juice, you don't want diarrhea on top of everything else.
You may want to get tested for diabetes too, it can make you unbelievably thirsty.
peace
well i would try gadoraid or poweraid but yes your probably dehydrated soda has alot of salt and cafeene wich dehydrates you
Look you need to start drinking water because water is life and as the doctors would said you must drink 8 glasses of water per day and please go and check it out with a doctor because something might terrible wrong with you so my dear check yourself before you reck yourself
Sip some warm 7-up or Ginger Ale .
normally a headache tells you you are dehydrated and i think its just your cold making you feel ill, these sound like the symptoms of a cold sp go to sleep and then have juice or something with lemon in when you wake up and you should feel better
