Every morning before I go to the stables to muck out I religiously drink a litre of water. For some stupid reason, this morning I didn't I only drank 1/4l.
Mucked my horse out and felt fine, went to put water in my friends horse's paddock when I started to feel a bit lightheaded. Went back into the stable block and leant against the door. One of the other women there asked if I was ok and I said I felt funny. Suddenly my head started pounding and I almost passed out. Norma made me sit down and luckily my friend Lorna was there. She has known since the start about CD and I had told her that if I ever said I felt funny it was likely to be dehydration, so straight away she got me water. After drinking I felt almost human again. It was purely due to not drinking enough and doing too much.
Why I didn't drink enough I have no idea, but it is a lesson learnt. I have phoned work to say I won't be in so I am just going to take it easy.
