minus-squaresaltesc4•2 months agoedit-22 months agolinkfedilinkI had a very long and active day, and kept my fluids up. I can answer “I think so.” which I guess really means, “Probably not.” I had a series of inexplicable migraines when I was 15. A doctor asked what I was doing before they started. “Surfing.” “How long?” “Most of the day. Around 5-6 hours.” “And did you drink any water?” “Eh, nope.” “You’re dehydrating yourself but probably aren’t realising it because you’re in water.” I started coming in every couple hours to drink a litre. Problem solved. Felt like an idiot.
