sore muscles from dehydration

[toitasatiger]

A friend of mine at work asked me if it's common to feel sore to the touch from being dehydrated. I don't believe i've ever felt that way but she said she didn't have any water yesterday and drank diet coke throughout the day and had a regular coke which she doesn't do often. I didn't want to give her wrong information and i figured someone would know something about that here Anyone?

Not sure I"ve ever heard that except maybe if she normally does consume a decent amount of water to stay hydrated and since diet coke is a diuretic in addition to not drinking any water, her body doesn't have what it's used to having in order to stay hydrated & flush out the daily stuff.

thanks. I don't think she really eats or drinks all that healthy but I guess that was the first time she really felt like that and just thought it was from drinking too much caffeine/carbonated drinks. Thanks again!

Never heard of that effect......

Only time I ahve been "sore to the touch" and dehydrated at the same time is when I had a fever - the body soreness came from the fever (aches) not dehydration.

I bet the "soreness" was just feeling crappy from no water.

YEAH SERIOUSLY!! I drink about a gallon a day throughout the day and during my workout so I can't imagine not drinking water all day!

LOL, I know it! People always ask me 'how can you drink so much water?' - I never have an answer for that ..... it is so second nature .... I mean, how can you NOT drink so much water?!?! lol

Exactly, it gets old though. EVERYDAY people see me carrying around a big jug of water and they tell me "That's so unlady like, drinking out of a jug like that!" I'm just thinking, "Since when do I care what YOU think???" LOL
