sweat!?

When I was out in the hi desert, it was a little hotter than here in Okla., "118 three times" , closer to the sun by about 2400 feet or so , was dryer than he-- , sweat wouldn`t even show unless u were really physically busting ur ***. Here I have set in the shade , drinking ice tea and sweated my *** off. Hasn`t been any where near that bad this year, --RAIN out the *** ! Flooding , cloudy , and more predicted.

Wish we would get some rain up here...should not complain, no local fires as of yet, least not big ones. Think we have only been in the high 80's a few times. Think it is 85* today. But cools off at night so all is well. When we lived in AZ I was drinking a bit over 2 gallons of water a day. Don't drink nowhere near enough water anymore.

For a while I was determined to try and control my mental health crap with meds. Being bipolar if all I take is an anti-depressant it puts me into a manic state. Doc decided to try to put me on Lithium...but was very concerned because of how much I sweat. He warned me that my water intake may need to go up. I was about half way to the "therapeutic state" when he pulled me off of it. Was drinking over 4 gallons of water a day. Seemed like I was pissing and drinking at the same time. Had to add electrolytes to the water. He was worried about me becoming "salt toxic", think that is what he called it.
