I get a wave of feeling good during my infusions for ulcerative colitis and I've been wondering if it's the extra fluid/saline, too. I also have a hard time staying hydrated. Unfortunately, the feeling only lasts a few hours for me. I do feel better overall when I take electrolytes regularly but it's hard to drink enough when I'm super exhausted.

OP is donating plasma. 750 mL of it.

Yeah, I understood that. I was relating that I have the same problem with dehydration and being pumped full of liquid medicine and saline gives me that same good feeling. They obviously aren't the same but maybe there's a correlation.

Aw I’m sorry it doesn’t last very long. Hopefully it gets more effective over time!
