    I’ve found that once I increased my salt intake (along with my water intake) my brain fog, dizziness, exhaustion, and pee went away.

              I wandered in the fediverse
              To brighten up my day;
              I found a funny story where
              A turd won’t flush away.

              It made me laugh, it made me cry:
              The cleaner had to watch him try,
              But while she gazed, it was then proved
              The crap was easily removed.

              And senseless, she would think it was
              For her to have to see, because
              His Swedish language really was
              Quite useless, and we see that it
              Did not explain this hapless git
              Or why he showed her this big shit.

              So mystified she still will be
              And puzzzled for eternity:
              This stranger and the giant poo
              He weirdly showed her in the loo.

              I laughed and chuckled, then I see
              The person posting next to me -
              A Poem_for_your_sprog is here!
              A legend! - wow! - from yesteryear!

              I’ll take this chance to tell you how
              Your random poems, then and now,
              Have brought me joy. And that is why,
              Without help from LLMs, I
              Have tried to say in silly rhymes
              A thank you for the happy times
              You’ve brought me.

        Okay, slightly exaggerated. More like I stopped peeing as frequently.

        Salt causes water retention.

        🤷‍♂️

        Maybe? Maybe not. It’s expensive to test for, and cheaper to treat the symptoms. And I can monitor my vitals myself.

          Obviously I don’t know anything about you but I have cystic fibrosis so I lose a TON of salt and do need a high salt diet, some people who carry the cystic fibrosis gene express it fairly strongly and need more salt… could be something unusual like that I guess

              This conversation got me super excited to try it, only to see that it costs 3x as much as Powerade Zero packets. Since we easily chew through a 10pack of packets a week, I can’t bring myself to have her try it.

                I understand. It is costly. I use it because of its potency and other ingredients. But I am open to suggestions for better products.

                  We tried the cheapest stuff Amazon will sell and went back to Powerade Zero.

                  The next step is trying to build your own electrolyte drink, but that is a recipe for disaster.

                  Puns aside, I was concerned about giving myself an electrolyte imbalance. I asked the doctor about it and they told me to just eat food, weirdo (sass for dramatic emphasis, but I definitely got the look I give end users when they ask stupid questions).

        If you give up processed foods you will find that salt is in nothing unless you add it. I eat no processed food and I need to add quite a bit of salt to my food
