I've never heard of this? How much water are you drinking a day roughly now? Things like cucumber and melon and lettuce may help as they consisit mainly of water. YES I'VE CHANGED, PAIN DOES THAT TO PEOPLE.

I've never heard of a 'dry kidney'. I wonder if it means that you're dehydrated. I know some of the drugs we take for RA can leave us dehydrated. I think this hot humid weather doesn't help as it can cause sweating if you are being physically active. I find that if I exert myself I end up with sweat literally pouring down my face. I hope you can get some good advice Sylvia. If you are at all concerned then maybe you should give the nurse a call. Good luck and please keep us posted on any developments. Naomi, X

Hi, you are very good drinking so much water. I do try every so often, but am not good at sticking to my plans especially in cold weather. I do though always try to take tablets with water, figure it washes them down better. Strange this dry kidney, never heard the term before but hope you get back to normal soon.
