I'm so unbelievably thirsty rn. Like I have spent the whole day drinking water or imagining drinking water. Is this a side effect of E
update on this, I just raw ate a pinch of salt last night and I felt better. "Crave that mineral," as they say

(not on spiro, I know it makes you pee and therefore drink but I'm asking about estrogen)
I've only ever heard of spiro doing that. E wants you to retain more water though, maybe your body craves more for that reason?
I have a couple friends on E who this happened to, you're def not the only one (from my anecdotal experiences)
The trans community pickle meme is real huh
Okay my experience with this was weird but when I was on oral e and spiro, I didn't have any problems with salt cravings or hydrating, even when I went up to the max recommended dose. But when I switched to b injectable e and spiro, which should have increased the e in my system and maybe reduced my t, but not affected the side effects of spiro, then I suddenly started peeing a lot more and craving sour gummy worms (and to a lesser extent, pickles).
So... idk? Maybe? 🤷♀️
