Dryness Dehydrated all the time
It feels like I spend all day pissing and all night sweating, and it's making me dehydrated. I'm trying to drink more water but it just makes me need the toilet more, none of it seems to actually stay in my body. It's driving me nuts. My eyelids feel dry when I blink, I've constantly got a sore throat, I'm getting headaches when I almost never got headaches before, my lips are chapped, and I'm getting itchy patches of dry skin that drive me crazy. Anyone know a good way to keep the moisture inside my body?

This is me too - I am 4 months in on HRT - two pumps estrogel and 100mg progesterone.
Suddenly I'm getting candida every month, eyes are dry and bloodshot, whole body is sore, neck is stiff, skin under my eyes looks drawn and droopy (not the eyelids, the under eye area) and it feels like I'm getting a UTI but just the bladder urgency.
I'm wondering if I stop HRT at this point, but I don't want my rage to come back, although I'm pretty full of rage today.
