Members shared a wide range of dehydration symptoms in response to the question, including headache, nausea, dizziness, muscle cramps, dry skin, fatigue, and darker urine, with one member noting that confusion, rapid heartbeat, and little to no urine are signs to seek medical help right away. Several members offered practical hydration tips, recommending brands like Essentia, Core, Penta, and Smart Water, as well as Liquid IV and electrolyte capsules as affordable options. A recurring theme was that dehydration can happen in any season and that paying attention to energy levels and urine color are key ways to catch it early.

Don’t forget muscle spasms and cramps. Such a big one for fibro as you get dehydrated faster than the average person.
Water water everywhere

You know there’s electrolyte capsules that can be better absorbed into the body. Cheaper option too.

Essentia and Core water have balanced electrolytes and aren’t flavored-no citric acid for those with sensitive stomach. I also keep Vitamin Water, Gatorade and Liquid IV on hand, especially when I’m out and about on my mobility scooter. Summer heat isn’t the only time you can become dehydrated as winter cold also pulls fluid from the body while it works harder to keep you warm.
Whenever I start dragging in energy and I’m not hungry, that’s when I might need some electrolytes.

Dizziness can also be a sign of low blood pressure
