Trevor, I don't know the answer to your question but it's an interesting theory. Excessive thirst should be reported to your doctor immediately! It could mean a lot of things. Diabetes immediately comes to mind. Please have it checked out ASAP.
Hugs,

Are you experiencing extreme thirst with fibromyalgia?

While the search results provided don't specifically address extreme thirst as a fibromyalgia symptom, many people with fibromyalgia do report experiencing it. This could be related to several factors connected to the condition.

Some possibilities include:

* Medications used to treat fibromyalgia can cause dry mouth and increased thirst as side effects
* The body's dysregulated nervous system in fibromyalgia may affect normal hydration signals
* Excessive sweating, which many people with fibromyalgia experience, can lead to increased fluid loss and thirst

It's important to mention extreme thirst to your healthcare provider, especially if it's new or has suddenly worsened. While it can be related to fibromyalgia or its treatments, persistent excessive thirst should be evaluated to rule out other underlying causes that may need attention.

Many MyFibroTeam members share experiences with various symptoms like excessive sweating and other body changes. You're not alone in dealing with unexpected symptoms that come with fibromyalgia.

Everyday and I am drug-free except for my asthma inhalers.

All the time. I have a 24 flat of water bottles beside my bed at all times. Its brutal. I wake up several times in the middle of the night, about 4 - 5 times a week, with unbelievable thirst. My mouth is so dry I can't even close my lips together until I can find my water bottle. This is something new to me in the last 6 months. I've never experienced something like this ever and I drink plenty of proper fluids daily. So confusing and frustrating 😕
