They are rehydration sachets that you can get from any pharmacy. Just type “rehydration sachets” into google and lots of brands will come up and then you can read more about them. I would say don’t use them all the time, but I think it’s useful to have them to hand when you are having a dehydration episode.

I’m exhausted I get confused. My balance goes off. I walked too many blocks yesterday emits the crowd of Christmas tourists at Rockefeller Center and by the time I got to Grand Central despite having drank from a large thermos I have for walking around I couldn’t avoid the dehydration. It was terrible. My cognitive skills were gone and I was miserable. I took several day trips this summer, and it was not unusual for me to have to or to want to just lie and go to sleep on the ground but when I had 24 ounces of water I was better it’s very dangerous I want to know what are those what those sachets are that you can dissolve in your water is it sugar and salt?

Thanks David for your suggestions and you make a great point. Using a jug does mean that you can be sure about how much you have drunk so far each day.

I personally stopped drinking coffee and just drink water with the occasional hot chocolate. I say invest in a reusable water bottle and a jug with a filter that you can fill and put in the fridge.

It’s definitely important for everyone, but as survivors I think we are even more susceptible to it. I know I’m going to be more sensible now.

I read it out loud to my husband and we both agree dehydration is very dangerous. Thanks Michelle!
