brisknomad6, honestly, from my own experience, you really need to get your vasopressin levels checked out!
That hormone is basically the boss of your water metabolism. If you're running low on it, all that fluid your kidneys filter just ends up flushing right out of your system—instead of being recycled back in like it's supposed to happen.
If that turns out to be the issue, the fix is actually super simple and pretty elegant. You just take a hormone replacement once a day via a nasal spray. Your thirst will vanish within minutes, just like magic 👍!

Oh, I totally forgot to mention—don't even bother wasting your time with a dermatologist. Your skin is gonna bounce back once you actually sort out the root causes, and trust me, it's all endocrine stuff!

Yeah, look, your hormones react to stress big time, but you can't just let that slide and hope for the best. If you're living in Chicago or somewhere nearby, seriously try to make an appointment with an endocrinologist over at the Mayo Clinic (just coordinate everything through your primary care doctor first). Honestly, if it wasn't for those specialists, I wouldn't even be here talking to you guys right now.
Brenda Reed3, I'll shoot you a DM and give you all the details there.
