It’s incredibly common after long-term immune issues such as chronic inflammation, pain, brain fog, autoimmunity, etc that we either have no thirst or all of the thirst. We may still drink water because we know we should, but our body never signals for it.
Or conversely, we may feel thirsty all the time and just pee it right out, like it’s not getting absorbed.
As we drain out the accumulated swamp water in our system and swap it out for healthy fresh water, the area of our brain responsibility for signaling thirst tends to recalibrate so we can go back to feeling thirsty when we need a drink and not thirsty when we don’t. Imagine that . . .
