i have the oral condition from my meds and digestive problems. i drink at least 2 litres of plain water lotsbof sweet teavto keep my sugar intake high, as i over produce adrenaline i need to keep my glucose levels high to keep up with the over production of adrenaline. i also take meds to combat the digestive problems which dont help much. there is also medication available for dry mouth, ask your gp?
you are right though dehydration affects many functions including increases pain and decreases bodily functioning. if your chronic condition is neurological, dehydration is a major problem as other bodily functions like temperature regulation are affected by neurological disorders. so remember, lots of rest, good sleep hygeine, hydration, nutrition, regular physical examinations and keeping a pain journal and also one for your mental health is imperitive. pm if you need advice on starting and keeping the journals they will be a huge help to you and your medical team. if they have access to a well documented, up to date, accurate portrayal of your condition, symptoms, general physical and mental health and any adverse med reactions as well as your daily routines they will be able to treat you much more efficiently and accurately
hope that was of some help.
