Twig, sorry to hear you are poorly chick. Are you eating anything?

are you on antibiotics?

I had the dry mouth thing with those

saw your down thread the other day

if it's any consolation I've had some crappy low level thing for ages - there was a thread yesterday and it seemed practically everyone else does too

ADs can cause dry mouth and dizziness. If you're not on those though, I don't know.

but are you eating? Could it be hyperglycaemia? (Can't spell, but hoping you know what I mean)

low blood sugar
What about anaemic? Without supplements, I constantly dip to borderline anaemia & that makes you feel tired, far away, not quite with it.
If you have kidney pain - could it be a kidney stone? I don't know what the symptoms are of those, but could it be that?
