Am I dehydrated? I always feel dry mouth. My eyes cannot handle contacts. I drink more water than most people I know, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I have a lot of dry issues, dry skin, eyes, skin gets itchy (in cold) and hands look terrible (but I wash them constantly as I have OCD). I have "vulvodynia" which usually feels like I am dry.

Does dryness have anything to do with PN? I know it has to do with autoimmune, especially Sjogrens, but I'm not diagnosed with that in particular. I did feel better this last month after being on my progesterone, but right now after the temp has dropped into the 20s (in Florida) I am dry again.

Is there anything I can do to help this? I have a white spot on the side of my tongue, it can be caused by THRUSH, DEYDRATION or B DEFENCIENCY or worse, mine's been here since late summer, same time all this stuff started really badly. Just wondering. Nutrionist once said to take electrolytes or V8. I drink mostly water all day, herbal tea or wine at night.

I know everything has to be related.
