Dehydration, dry skin and full body tingling when overheating

[Richard1973]

I was diagnosed a number of years ago but recently I've started to get dehydrated often and alot of dry skin especially around eyes and ears. Also when I overheat I get a tingling feeling all over my body, sometimes quite painful.

Has anybody had similar problems and what remedies do you suggest 

Cheers Rich

Hi @Richard1973 and welcome to the forum.

I did go through a period of feeling thirsty all the time and my first thoughts went to asking my GP to test me for diabetes.   Have you had a test for this condition as if not I think that would be the first thing to rule out?  

If you were suffering from diabetes, either Type I or Type 2, I've read that can cause dry skin and paresthesia.

@Richard1973, welcome to the forum! 

@cristiana is on the right track, stay hydrated. 

Also have your potassium level checked.  Low potassium causes dry skin and dehydration.  

We need Thiamine B1 to keep our potassium level correct.  Without sufficient thiamine, we lose potassium and our skin loses moisture.  

Ask your doctor about supplementing with vitamins and minerals.  The Gluten free diet can be lacking in the eight essential B vitamins, Omega Threes and minerals.
