Interesting to note that there are definite ways to know if one is drinking enough, according to that web-site, the urine will be clear or pale yellow if one has had enough of the proper fluids to drink...
certainly a helpful indicator and I would guess that there would be no strong odour either ????
The author goes on to say that the signs of severe dehydration include "lethargy, headaches, dry lips, decreased urination, a burning sensation in the stomach, an abnormally fast heart rate, inability to concentrate and fatigue "
some of these are side-effects of topomax and dear old tegretol... wonder if they are simply related to not drinking enough water?????
the author also points out that severe dehydration can be life-threatening...
now that is something to cheer one's soul...
let us all make a point of having that bottle of water close at hand, sports fans...
