Feeling salty

nerianasimsThe crash was hard and fast, but I'm coming out of it a lot faster than I have in the past. I'm pretty sure it's because of this:
That's salt. And a lot of it. I didn't quite consume the entire Great Rann of Kutch, but it felt close.
It stabilized my heart rate and helped me to gradually replenish the energy reserves that were totally gone. I'm quite sure it helped with the low blood volume that plagues people with M.E.
The admonition to eat less salt is wrong for almost everyone anyway. On top of which, people with M.E. most likely need more salt than average. I'm going to be upping my salt intake generally, though not to the heights it was the past week.

Date: 2019-02-10 09:39 pm (UTC)I have nothing like the disabling crash you're describing, but I have epilepsy and I know how frightened and anxious I get when I'm entering a 'space' where it's going to descend, and then come back, and come back again, and that's something that's not even dangerous, nothing like what you're fighting. Take care. ❤️
