I'm on fluid restriction 32 oz a day and take 4,000 mg salt and 500 mg vitamin c everyday anyway. Also on lasix. Doing herbals for lyme, bart, confused, stuck and in hell. Mind symptoms are worst. What do you think?

The lasix is your problem. Why are you on it? That flushes the water (and all the electrolytes) out of your body. There might be a better way to decrease fluid gain. Would look at some natural remedies such as fresh lemon in hot water every morning, etc.

Looks like you're doing Salt/C already. Can't you just up the C to whatever the dosage is supposed to be?

I don't understand taking water pills AND high levels of salt.

I'm sorry you are suffering so much.
