I guess this is what happens when you have so many people who are blessed never to have had a serious health issue and having to weigh pros and cons of different treatment options. They don’t know how to seek other opinions, read up on medical literature, and analyze risk-benefit.
I once had to resort to taking an expensive off-label drug I feared taking due to possible side effects. I was worried if I didn’t do something I would suffer permanent nerve damage (sciatica). Put it off as long as I could.
The side effects I read about weren’t as scary as myocarditis. Finally, relented and took the drug because surgery was far to risky and my condition was getting worse.
It worked. Totally got rid of the problem.
Side effects? One. It made me crave water. It was weird. It wasn’t so much that I was thirsty. I really did crave water. It went away when I stopped taking the drug.
The side effects it had on others were things like migraines, being hot, bad acne, bad hair loss.

Water is sooo much better than, say pickle juice! 😁
I watched some Mystery Diagnosis years ago where a gal had gotten into a bad car accident. She was left with this horrible thirst and would get sick if she didn’t drink water all the time. They thought she was crazy, of course, so they put her in a water deprivation situation. After about an hour she started feeling sick. After 3 hours she was losing weight.
She was diagnosed with Diabetes Insipidus from the car accident. It apparently messed with her pituitary gland.
So I wonder if the drug you took maybe messed with your pituitary gland. I don’t know. Glad the drug got rid of the problem and the water craving is gone.
