hi everyone..
I'm just curious, does anyone here do
2 times medical checkup for kidney, liver, blood count,
blood pressure, I mean simply full blood text to check organs
functions due to HRT?
As for me I monitor it every 6 months,
so that I know there are no damaged on my organs due to HRT.

Hi, yeah twice per year is a good idea anyway, with or without HRT, especailly if you're over 30. A full blood examination picks up changes in blood chemistry, which doesn't tell you what exactly is wrong, but can tell a doctor that something needs to be followed up. A single value, like a lowered sodium for instance, might be from a number of things, like not enough salt in your diet, or drinking way too much water at the nightclub the night before!  cheers, Tony

how much is too much?
watch your urine...if it's a light straw colour, it's ok...if it's completely clear, take a break from the water, unless you're doing something really strenuous, like running a marathon. Usually most people don't drink enough!
Most people can only absorb about 150ml / hour (5 fluid ounces/ hour for our american cousins) Big framed people, a bit more.
Sports drinks are a better way to get rehydrated, so if you're out in the nightclub, have a water, followed by something like a gatorade if they have it, or a mineral water if they don't. Just alternate between the two, and you won't have to worry about washing out the salt out of your body.
Happy to help!
cheers,
Tony
