Not sure if I've asked this before but does anyone here in the lyme community have trouble with electrolyte balance and retention?

I have this really badly. I can't even detox more than a few times a week because if i let myself get too dehydrated there is hell to pay.

Sounds like maybe a aldosterone-renin thing ....i had to drink salt water and eat licorice during treatment

and how are you gauging the dehydration?


Dry mouth/skin/thirsty?

Dry mouth/skin/thirsty?

Slowed thinking, depressed mood, irritability, low energy levels, an emotional basket case and an obscene sugar craving. All of these are reduced by taking in the right amount and ratio of potassium/sodium/magnesium or eating high mineral foods like red meat or bone broth

I had a lot of trouble with my electrolytes. I was always thirsty, but sometimes drinking more water would make it worse because it would deplete my electrolytes even more. My sodium level kept doing up and down for no reason.

It is a lot better now, but I still have to make sure I carry water with me all the time, because if I don't drink enough, I can't think straight at all.
