I add at least 1 tsp a day of sea salt to my water (in addition to any salt in food...fyi, I do most of my cooking, so rarely any processed or restaurant foods in my diet). If I don't take in enough salt, my muscles start cramping bad (esp. calves, esp. in the middle of the night). Even with all this salt, my blood pressure is low to low-normal.

Is this a Lyme thing?

Just read the last posts on my thread. I took salt to stop my cramps too!!

The thread is the Tesla thread.

I don't have lyme for the last 5 years, but I still had chronic candida and arthritis came recently. These infections also consume magnesium, and I had to take magnesium supplements, like most lyme sufferers have to.

Virtually everyone with lyme takes magnesium to stop cramps or whatever, to feel better.

Salt makes much more than stopping cramps. But it may cause you herxes!!

You could try upping magnesium and lowering the salt.

yes, I take gobs of salt.

I just read that adrenal insufficiency can lower your blood pressure.
