[QUOTE="Anonymon, post: 231214, member: 42608"] Right now I keep my salt intake constant and have a very decent amount of it. In the past I got up to 1 1/4 tsp 2-3 times a day with meals when I was at my worst. When I stopped I went to the hospital. I found out at the time I needed more because my cortisol was so low and potassium so high that I started having massive issues. Even started to get the marks people with Addison’s get and had some blood vessels burst. I can handle more salt if my T4 is higher but I also ‘use up’ water in my body or something to process it and I tend to run out real quick. Right now I’m probably around 4000mg a day to 5. At the height I wouldn’t doubt I’d hit 8-10. Hell, too much salt for me actually causes erectile dysfunction now. Which is weird but I can make it happen any time within a day and it’ll go away just as quick when I stop. That only happened while on levothyroxine. Before all this I used to have a bunch of salt and it mostly made me feel great despite needing to pee constantly and was like a secret of mine. Now it’s very context and hormone dependent. My glands all work, it’s more that they’re not being triggered I’ve found, which things like preg and selegiline help a lot with, as does CA and T4 or seemingly glandular and T4. My face gets puffier and dryer if I have less salt but I can only handle so much of it depending on where I’m at with all this. I also developed/reopened some ulcers from all the salt I had at the height of it that now are healed but that was one thing that kicked all this off into the worst of it for me. Kidneys are wonderful according to all the metrics and tests and my last eGFR was 115. Most of my bloodwork’s actually pretty enviable. [/QUOTE]
