Oh my goodness, I should have known better - but I did it anyway. I woke up in the middle of the night extremely thirsty. I went to bed thirsty too. I made myself some koolaid with ice, gulped it down, and knew within about 5 minutes that it was going to be a miracle from God if it stayed in my stomach. Blegh... talk about painful and digusting?!!? I spent a good 20-25 minutes painfully waiting for my stomach to naturally cycle itself through so I could stopfighting the urge to V*. I burped like a crazy manicic the whole time too! The urge has now passed, I am thoroughly exhausted, and still EXTREMELY thirsty... but now I will have to wait until I have enough energy to try and drink something, preferably at room temperature and slowly.


Lesson Learned: Ice cold liquids + mucousy stomach + drinking fast = LIVING NIGHTMARE!!!


Sip, don't gulp, no matter how thirsty you are --- especially if the fluid isn't at room temperature.
