text: damn  thirsty, that too during winter? i have experienced thirst, and dehydration during summer. but this time iam experiencing damn thirst during winter.  i take one sip of water, and in next few seconds my mouth goes dry. sometimes my throat seems to close up, and then i drink water, i feel relieved.  i have never felt like this before.it drives me crazy.   please tell me why is this happening? is it normal? is there any permanent or alternative solution than to drink water continuously?  venue:chicago month:november first of all go to the doctor.  do not try to treat yourself without knowing what you have first. if you are experiencing excessive thrist (polydipsia), lots of trips to the bathroom to urinate (polyuria), excessive hunger (polyphagia), lost of weight and fatigue you could be experiencing signs and symptoms of diabetes.  however, other hormonal imbalances can cause thrist as well.  good luck!
