I get cotton mouth from time to time. I assumed it was a POTS symptom and it comes on quickly & quite intensely (I probably look like a maniac making such an immediate fuss about getting a drink haha). If it proceeds far enough, I faint so it’s a big indicator for me. And yes, I’ve noticed my urine smell has changed. There was also a lot ‘settling’ after urination. I kept getting testing and nothing was ‘abnormal’.

I get dry eyes as well (only sometimes… and much better after starting Diamox), but I sleep with my eyes open and thought it was from that.

I have a very sensitive nose- smells don’t overwhelm me but I often smell things well before others do. And there have been a few times I’ve smelled things that I’m pretty sure aren’t there (IE: the other day my right hand smelled like I’d been peeling onions, except I hadn’t in weeks).
