Why is it necessary to drink a lot of water when taking the Disease Modifying Medications?
I work out six (weightlifting and cardio) days a week. This weekend I read an article where someone who has a similar workout routine as me drinks a gallon of water a day. That's double what I usually drink.
A little voice in my head reminded me that the Betaseron nurse told me I might not be drinking enough water and thus the reason for my fatigue. I decided to experiment and drink a gallon today. I do feel better. Maybe all along, I haven't been drinking enough water. I started Betaseron on Oct 15 and started the full dose two weeks ago. Once I started the 3/4 strength dose that's when I started to feel really bad.
I figured if someone with a similar workout routine as me is drinking a gallon of water a day I should certainly try it since my nurse keeps mentioning that I need to drink plenty of water.
I'm also going to change my workout routine. I'm going to lift weights three days a week instead of six and do continue with cardio six days a week.
