Working Mommas: Hoodia...parched mouth?
Woke up today at 3am with a parched mouth... I was extremely thirsty, so I made the trek down to the fridge to grab myself an iced cold glass of water...
I sat there wondering why I was so thirsty, and kept pouring myself glass upon glass of water. I must have drank 5 large glasses of water... Then off to bed I went.
Woke up again at 5:40am with the same parched mouth. This time, I was able to quench my thirst after 2 full glasses of water.
So, it seems, that one side effect from Hoodia that I am expriencing is extreme thirst. This is to the contrary of what I've heard of Hoodia - it is supposed to suppress both hunger and thirst. The bushmen of South Africa originally used the effects of the root to control hunger and thirst during their long hunting journeys. It appears it works on my appetite but not on thirst.
At least I am no longer dehydrated!
