I didn't know that until today!

Hi M. Spicely2, Yes, I believe that I have heard of it. Sometimes, there is a very fine line between dehydration and fluid overload. You need to ask your doctor or nurse practitioner if you have been told this happens to you. They can explain the exact process. It also may depend on the condition of your heart and how your body, in particular, handles the fluid. Blessings!

I didn't know it until today, either! I have had a pretty difficult time with occasional extreme swelling for several years now, but I was told to limit my liquid intake despite absolutely craving water and having dry mouth to the extent of sounding raspy and dry, lips cracking despite repeated applications of lip balm, and low liquid output. I had a trip to the ER Tuesday evening, and was shocked that they had a difficult time locating a viable vein in which to place an IV. I was told that I was dehydrated! I was so very swollen in both body and legs that it was interfering with my breathing. I was treated, reminded of low salt diet and Fodmap Diet for SIBO treatment, told to see my PCP within three days for bloodwork follow-up, and sent home. I quickly enjoyed a very cold bottle of water! I suffer from Sjogren's Syndrome, which creates very dry mouth and eyes. Anyone else "enjoy"-Not! this disease?

I get cramping when dehydrated and it's happened while I've had edema.

I don’t go in. I just stop the diuretics. Hope you’re feeling better love! 🥰
