I haven't peed for 3 days. You think I is normal?

[Nymfipapukaija]

I was terribly dehydrated yesterday even though I drinked something like every half an hour, I then couldn't sleep because it was very hot. I slowly started getting weaker and weaker to the point where I couldn't even get up to drink. Now I keep wondering: How the heck did I get up today morning? Anyways it was like explained: Headache, dizziness, weakness... And in the morning pee was a darker color than normal. I am not sure if I even saw stars or hypnagogic images before falling asleep.

@Nymfipapukaija Might also been something else..

[rcmadness1000]

iv been in the 20% honestly im a diabetic and diabetics cant be in the heat but more than a couple of hours if that i had to go to the hospital several times and once they had to give me severvarl IVS

good rule of thumb:

pissin' clear , have no fear .

[TishRRollings]

@crabtrap not true if your pee it clear it means you might be drowning your self by flushing the good nutrients (potassium being the main one ) as well as the bad....my rule of thumb for pee color is almost clear with slight tint of yellow.

[crabtrap]

@TishRRollings that condition is SO rare next to the danger of dehydration that mentioning it is not even justified. the title says "wilderness survival" not "frat party hazing survival".

rofl i am dehydrated right now, judging by my tongue!! Then again i have been drinking nothing but beer for all of yesterday and coca cola today...

[onblock7]

LOL that will get you there, I also drink alot of beer but drink water after that and Himilayan salt so I don't suffer too much.

[Lithys]

I don't know what Himalayan salt is... water is too far away :)

Plus i don't really get hungover that badly

dude, i think im dehydrated. I went walking with my step dad in the 90deg sun and half way through an overwhelming feeling of fatigue/dizzyness occured i still feel a lil under the weather(3hrs later) but i am drinking water like no other and starting to pee more and the feelings are fadeing away,slow but are still fadeing. I experienced the same thing last year at work in the garage.

[KonstantinKuehn]

here are some truly helpful facts of dehydration....

1 to 5 percent: thirst, vague discomfort, lack of appetite, flushed skin, impatience, sleepiness, nausea.

6 to 10 percent: dizziness, headache, labored breathing, no salivation, indistinct, speech, unable to walk.

11 to 20 percent: delirium, swollen tongue, unable to swallow, dim vision, numb shrivelled skin..

later stages result in total muscular weakness and severely impaired mental capacity..... ur pretty much screwed at this point

[KonstantinKuehn]

if ur 20 PERCENT DEHYDRATED UR ALREADY PRETTY MUCH DEAD AND WONT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO GO ANYWHERE TO LOOK FOR WATER. ITS ALREADY TOO LATE AT THAT POINT..
