Excessive thirst is a symptom of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) deficiency .............. eat more foods rich in this vitamin ie: fish, cantaloupe, cabbage, blackstrap molasses, unmilled rice, eggs, oats and peanuts and walnuts.
Vitamin B6 aids in the proper production of natural antidepressants such as dopamine and norepinephrine.
It is also essential in the conversion of tryptophan, an essential amino acid to niacin .......... tryptophan is one of the natural feel good drugs. B6 will also reduce night muscle spasms, leg cramps, hand numbness and naturally work as a diuretic (eliminate fluid retention).
Things that could be robbing you of your B6 are things such as trycyclic antidepressants, oral contraceptives and pencillin.
As for the dizzy spells that could be due to vitamin B12 deficiency .... eat more foods rich in this vitamin ie: skimmed milks and cheeses, fish and eggs.
Other symptoms of B12 deficiency you may be suffering from are headaches and migraines, nausea and vomiting, fatigue and exhaustion, irritability and moodiness, inability to think clearly, depression, excessive sweating, numbness and tingling and prickling sensations in the outer extremities and even chest pains and heart palpitations !! Quite scary actually if you don't realise the vitamin factor.
The B complex of vitamins is a water soluble complex and therefore our bodies can neither store or produce them. As such we need to ingest them on a daily basis or suffer the consequences as you unfortunately are.
When we are placed under extra stress ie: school studies, new job, everyday life really .... our bodies will usually use up our precious stores of the B complex first to deal with the stress.
If you are vegetarian or lactose intolerant and choose to supplement your diet with a multi B complex supplement get one including all the B's ie: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they work best together.
Try also to avoid the B complex thieves such as alcohol, caffeine, sodas and soft drinks, tinned foods ...........:0)

it is possible you could be dehydrated... Drink things with lots of elctrolytes; like Gatorade, Pedialite would probably be better though... And fet plenty of sleep. If this doesn't work within a day or 2 you should go get it checked out by a Doctor. Get well soon!

Go see your doctor! If it is diabetes you need to know right away. a lot of other complications come with diabetes like high blood pressure and you will need to be monitored.

I think you need to see a doctor. I have a relative who experience most of the same symptoms and it turned out that she had diabetes.
