Hi to all us menopause sufferers! 
It's important to drink at least 2 big glasses of water each day or more. I feel like the Sahara Desert most days. 
My mouth is soooo dry. Everything is drying up! 
I read we lose sooo much moisture with menopause that we have to put water back in our body manually. I get tired of drinking water as it's so blah tasting. I bought Crystal Light Drink Mix which is just a small purse size bottle to keep handy. Just a wee squirt of flavour in our water bottles helps the intake of that water we need.
I agree...I try to drink as much as I can each day.
Hi there toddpodd...you are doing good then dear .. I don't drink enough and get sick of the blah taste! I hate peeing every 10 minutes 
Lol yes the peeing every 10 min gets old fast...but i do try to drink as much as i can...
The crystal Light helps to give taste. I just used some now. Gee much better. 
I had forgotten about that stuff so thought I should share.
Good point to make Dottie ,I started meno at 48 ,and began water on dr advice,I'm now 67 this month and continue to take on water,start as soon as I wake ,I've drank 150 mls plus every day since start of meno,extra during summer months ,good for meno headaches,I was lucky as far as hot flushes got easier as meno went on ,but even at my age now they still come along.Winter meno I find lot better,it's summer and meno I'm still not comfortable.So yes to water a must.
I agree but this is very difficult for me even with flavor in it. I'm just not into drinking aside from what I wash down my meals with but I need to be more disciplined in this area.
I totally agree I am always thirsty and dry mouth it's unbelievable and usually at night too! Water always... 😊xx
Hi Marlene I forget to drink it so I thought I would mention it. Just fresh cold water itself is the best. I remember my sister hates the blah taste and she said she drinks tea. But that's not the same. It should be plain old water to wash away bacteria in the body. When in the hospital they always hook you up to intervenous with fresh clean water. . Keep smiling dear thank you.
Hi Sharcerv: Plug your nose or drink in the morning and get it over with. That's what I do. hehe
Travis oh yeah in the middle of the night, my mouth is sooo dry. I have a glass in the bathroom so I can fill it up and guzzle. I need a potty beside the bed!
I chew gum when my mouth is sooo dry when I am out of the house. That helps to create saliva and moisture cause I can't carry water all the time.
I get tired of the same blah taste but we must drink it.
Yeah that's when my thirst hits me...at night but of course there's always that double whammy of peeing all night.
I gotta make sure I got a liner on before I leave the house. Not knowing when ya gotta pee from all that damn water is brutal if there is no washroom handy. 
Hey Sharcerv I wake up my husband and the dog when I get up and that's usually a couple times in the night. I am going to get kicked out soon! Do you have a spare bedroom? 
Hey Travis I am getting close to Depends
And Sharcerv understands my cries
I am toooo young to wear depends! 
Had a chuckle at the water comments tonight,and I'm sat here with an ice bag on my shoulder from liftining a heavy garden china pot.holding on to shoulder to chuckle at depends ,that must be incontinence pads here.not come to those just yet.time will come I'm sure.Balance keeps me close to home ,and the loo.Glad I live in a bungalow no stairs with the balance to worry about.
