[jennyjenny]

So like two days ago I've been like really thirsty lately. But I'd drink something but then like 5-10 minutes later i'd be thirsty again!

and it's causing my throat to be all dry and i keep coughing and sometimes i lose my voice and it's a whole big mess!

erg, what should i do

Reading your story about being thirsty very often immediately pops an idea into my head, although it's probably not the reason why you're always thirsty.

Diabetes.

A few symptoms of having diabetes is extreme thirst, frequent urination, rapid lost/gain in weight, frequent weakness and lack of energy, etc.

I know 'cause that's how I found out I had diabetes (type 1). But since the only thing you mentioned is how thirsty you've been lately, then I doubt it's anything pre-diabetic.

But maybe you should consult your doctor about it if it's really bothering you.

she is waaaaay to young to get diabetes yet.

Like others have mentioned, age is not a factor to diabetes.
Maybe to the type of diabetes in some cases, but not in general.

I was diagnosed at age ten with diabetes type one, but the weirdest thing is that there is no family history of diabetes in my family, whatsoever. Weird.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder, in which the body makes antibodies that attack the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. The cause is complex and unclear, but may involve genetics, viruses, diet, chemicals and environmental factors. Type 1 diabetes was once called juvenile diabetes because it is usually diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood. People with type 1 diabetes must supply insulin by injection, pump or other methods.
