Make sure you drinks lots so you can stay hydrated i know is not easy.

Yes, my surgeon reminded me of the need to keep hydrated this morning then confessed that he has trouble remembering to drink enough himself (well, he does have a seven week prem baby to occupy his mind!) Personally I just keep my water bottle with me all the time and sip continuously. And we are moving into winter here.

....speaking of hydration. If someone is dehydrated, would they get leg cramps??

hey judy you just set off a lightbulb for me. i only have one kidney and get dehydrated really easily. lately i havent been drinking enough water and my red flags are showing up...lightheaded, extreme thirst in the morning AND, leg cramps! curious now if it could be connected.

Yes leg cramps headache dizziness all signs of deydration. To supplement hydration issues try coconut water it has major electrolytes and potassium...I have used this in a pinch.

so it does sound like not enough fluids then. thanks for sharing. i will have to do a lot more drinking through the day. i do have some coffee but thats a diuretic anyway so it doesnt count.

hi lovex5. so you get the cramps as well? it does sound like you are having the same issues then. Perhaps we need to have a water bottle with us at all times and just sip all day long? Like you, ive had some lightheadedness as well. i thought it might have been higher blood pressure but maybe not? look after yourself. having one kidney is a bigger issue for you than those of us with two.
