Does anyone have any suggestions of how to increase fluid/water intake? I think I am getting dehydrated. I have an issue with my drinks being really cold, and at my desk at work I can't keep my drink cold. Water is getting old.. Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? THANKS!

get a big thermos and freeze ice in it (a 1/4 full or so) then fill the rest with water as the day goes on the ice melts you drink cold water.
As far as being boring I would look at herbal teas I like Celestial Seasons Red Zinger add it to the water and it flavors but doesn't add anything that can make you more dehydrated.
I have a water bottle that I carry around and drink all day and refill. I've been pretty good at getting my 1/2 gallon by doing this. Always have a water bottle with you.
do you like carbonated water? i like the ones that have a bit of fruit flavor.
otherwise i just slash a bit of OJ into my water. the sugar helps my ms too.
I've had the same problems! I got some plastic cups and have been putting ice in a cup with my drinks to keep them colder.
Anything with lemon in it seems to go down easier - snapple iced tea with lemon especially.
I've also bee eating lots of food with tons of water in them - watermelon, popsicles, brothy soups.
GL!
Noooo...my doctor (and everything I've read) say to stay away from all artificial sweeteners, especially aspartame.
This exactly!
I like to have a water bottle with me all the time and I fill it half way with water and the other half with Red Gatorade.
