A BIG thank you to everyone who responded and/or viewed this latest post (Update - Fluid Intake: 11/29/2017). After much consideration regarding this current situation, I am left scratching my head in wonder as to how I managed to get myself into such a predicament in the first place. I thought I was consuming adequate amounts of fluids, but after conversing with my wife about the events of yesterday, it was then that I realized I wasn't consuming the right amounts of liquids.
I now realize that the culprit behind my dehydration is my caffeine consumption. My understanding is that coffee acts as a dehydrant. As such, my daily coffee consumption needs to drastically be reduced, and my water intake needs to significantly increase. I know now that I should have realized this from the onset of my symptoms, but being hyperfocused on what was causing the problem was where my head was at. Not on the obvious.
In any event, I am not 100% as of yet, but I feel so much better. Again, thank you for the well wishes and kind thoughts. Each and every one of you are an integral part of an amazing community I am proud to participate in.
