What Is Lack Of Thirst Suggestive Of?
I have a lack of thirst. I am 78 years old. Have had a lack of thirst as long as I can remember. I believe it is called Adipsia. I especially refuse water, purchased or tap. I will flavor bottled water. I drink prune juice every morning and usually a cup of caff. free coffee. I will drink gatorade reluctantly. I have to force drink. Rarely do I enjoy drinking anything. I love milk. Will drink a beer once a month. Am not fond of sodas, don t like the carbonation. I m just rarely thirsty for anything. Pizza and ham will bring on a thirst for drink. Hot weather does not. Perhaps I get enough liquids from foods. I am 5 5 weigh 130 lbs.
