Hi Jeholder,
I'm glad you realized that your problem was dehydration and started drinking more water. It seems that as you age, you need more water than you used to. I'm 77 and my husband is 82. We both drink a lot of water and it helps us to feel better. We also drink Gatorade which has a lot of electrolytes that help your body. It's important to read labels on foods and stay away from those foods with preservatives and sodium nitrates etc. in them. It makes a difference. Try not to eat prepared foods such as TV dinners etc. They are full of junk! I'm glad you are drinking more water and feeling better!
