A member asked:

I am thirsty all the time. i do not have diabetes, so why am i thirsty all the time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't know: If you are urinating a lot it could be what is called psychogenic polydipsia, which merely means that you have a habit of drinking a lot and it is not a disease. Otherwise see someone about possible neurological causes.
