Can You Be Addicted to Water?
There are various accounts of individuals being aquaholics (addicted to water). This article examines the literature on psychogenic polydipsia, hyponatraemia, and "aquaholism."

One of my sickest patients with ME was labelled with psychogenic polydipsia and denied IV saline. Patrick Ussher explains ‘this myth of psychogenic polydipsia’ in this excellent podcast by my colleague Julie Taylor. He also has a free downloadable book (see below).

The history of where the psychogenic basis comes from is very interesting - now taught as ‘fact’ in medicine.

This might be my nurse brain overthinking but I'm worried new cat might have diabetes. Possible polydipsia, difficult to measure polyuria, but even though she has the same litter as Dottie, her litter smells sweet, I think. Maybe? Time for vet, obviously.

Interesting new research from Sweden:

Low Vasopressin In Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

www.endocrinepractice.org/article/S153...

Vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone helps the body hold on to fluid

#MEcfs #CFS #PwME #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome
orthostatic intolerance and polyuria-polydipsia typify disabling forms of ME/CFS • in a consecutive series of ME-CFS patients, majority had very low vasopressin levels, relatively high plasma osmolality and low urine osmolality, in absence of overt hypothalamic or hypophyseal pathology • chronic down-regulation of vasopressin mimicking central diabetes insipidus may contribute to the core symptoms of ME/CFS ABSTRACT Objective The complex clinical picture of ME/CFS includes orthostatic intolerance with symptoms and signs suggesting abnormal water homeostasis and hypovolemia. Since many ME/CFS patients report polyuria-polydipsia, we conducted an observational study based on series of plasma and urine osmolality (P-Osm and U-Osm) as well as plasma levels of vasopressin (P-VP) or copeptin in consecutive patients diagnosed with ME/CFS according to the International Consensus Criteria. Methods P-VP as well as P-Osm and U-Osm were measured in 111 patients after 10 hour overnight fasting and fluid deprivation. Additional 13 patients were assessed for copeptin, when P-VP measurements were no longer available. The clinical routine also included brain MRI and blood chemistry. Results P-Osm was abnormally high (>292 mOsm/kg) in 71/124 (57.3 %) and U-Osm below the reference interval (< 750 mOsm/kg) in 82/124 (66.1%) patients. P-VP was below the level of detection (<1.6 pg/mL) in 91/111 (82.0 %) patients. A normal P-VP level compared with their P-Osm was found in 11/111 (9.9 %) patients. Copeptin levels were all within the given reference range, albeit in the lower end in most patients. No indication of relevant pathology in either hypothalamus or hypophysis was present. Conclusions Our findings suggest that chronic down-regulation of VP mimicking central diabetes insipidus is an important measurable part of the disease mechanism that potentially contributes to criterial symptoms of ME/CFS.

💡 Does arginine stimulate vasopressin via urea?

✅ Urea increased after arginine.
✅ Copeptin increased in healthy adults & primary polydipsia, but not in AVP deficiency.
❌ Urea & copeptin correlation? Weak.

Glucose IS an effective osmole in the absence of insulin or insulin resistance. So hyperglycemia does lead to polydipsia (and polyuria due to osmotic diuresis)

Many with excessive thirst get the "psychogenic polydipsia" label slapped on them. Yet experiments in the early 1800s showed excessive thirst can be relieved with IV water or saline – seems medicine has regressed!

Mom knows the signs and I have absolutely none. Vet taught her this acronym today:

PUPDPPP, representing Polyuria (excessive urination), Polydipsia (excessive drinking), Polyphagia (excessive appetite), and Panting.

I'm the dude whose HbA1c freaks out general practitioners but whose OGTT results (and overall presentation like, e.g., absence of polydipsia and polyuria) very firmly say, "Not diabetic."
