I've had my blood tested for everything including diabeties, anemia, and thyroid.
Is it normal to have excessive thirst?
I weigh 110 ibs, not very active..
Have to have a glass of water by me at all times (starting since a year ago)... drink about 6 glasses of water a day
I also feel weak and exhausted during the daytime.
I've been to the doctor, they keep telling me I'm healthy and there's nothing I can do.
Is this normal? What can I do?

I get this too. You are just dehydrated. I always feel thirsty no matter what I do. Its just changes in your body. In some people it is normal expecially in those who weigh about your weight. I drink about a gallon aday or sometimes more. It is also due to weather changes. Don't worry about a thing it will pass. and drinking alot of water is very healthy for you.

Are you on any medications at all? Sometimes this is a side effect of taking some sort of medication. Like taking antihistamines, drinking coffee or even having soft drinks with caffeine added.
If it is not diabetes or thyroid related, then it may then be related to/ caused by high salt content in the body..this is treated by lowering the amount of salt in the diet. Or Psychogenic polydipsia which, unfortunately, the experts cannot find any apparent reason for it's cause. Treatment for this is psychotherapy and sometimes medications to accompany that.
Oh, and it is a normal side effect of this condition to feel fatigues and sometimes to even have blurry vision accompanying it.

Tell your Mom. You have the signs of being diabetic. I'm a diabetic & you have excessive thirst & either lose weight or gain.You should get checked by a doctor or what you could do is buy a glucose meter & strips & check your sugar. It should be between 70-100. After eating it should be no higher than 120 (2 hours after eating).

There are those of us who do have symptoms but nothing shows. Dry mouth is something that is usually caused by something. My friends and I have dry mouth because of our syndrome/diseases. We have diseases that cause extreme pain. You do not have that. If your doctor does not want to do any testing, get another. Sometimes you must go through many doctors to find "Dr.Right," Keep searching for a doctor who is interested in your case. Doctors are great today. You can make an appointment to see if the doctor meets your needs. In your case, you would have to phrase the question as, " Are you concerned with problems similar to diabetes?" When you interview doctors, do not ask them how to fix a health problem because you will be charged. Just ask questions in a fashion that does not need a diagnosis.

if your really worried, your physician may take a urinalisis and blood work done to rule out other conditions. are u having adequate output after u drink all these fluids, u should be urinating good for all that h20, if ur output is significately less thats something to worry about.
course if ur fetigued a lot the bld work will tell if u have any enemic-type problems, or if ur lacking something.
