    I lost water through diarhea and went into shock. I felt no thirst so didn't correct it. I was then hit with a headache and upon water and electrolyte consumption I stopped urinating for 8 hours. Over the following months I was hit with every dehydration symptom possible and couldn't drink water without nausea. I still have mild symptoms and doctors refuse to help because they say chronic dehydration is not possible.

    There is a trail in Australia where over-hydration happens a lot. It’s so hot that people don’t realize they are overdoing it. Luckily, there are rescue people on standby since it’s so common.
