Why do you think you are dehydrated - are you eating and drinking normally and bowel & bladder function ok?

Not sure what you mean.

Have you contacted your doctor?

If not and you need help fast could you phone GP now

Do you mean tiny holes that look like pin pricks? I have one nail with loads of these in it, and a tiny sprinkling over all the other nails.

I've had had this for several years, while I've been very hypo. It's started to slowly reduce since I've been getting on higher doses of NDT. I showed the very pitted nail to Dr Peatfield, and he just said "you've been on a very wrong dose for a long time", and didn't even comment on what it is.
