Electrolytes
I'm curious if you have ever tried electrolytes for helping with pain?
I asked this because yesterday, I drank 3 big glasses of water and electrolytes and honestly, I didn't have (hardly) any pain. (When I'm usually atleast 6 out of 10 is my baseline) I was kinda surprised and just wondering if anyone had any thoughts π€
Wow! That is wonderful! I was just going through my hospital bills and they had me on a medication for covid but when I researched it, I found out it also treats several types of arthritis. I mention it because I hardly had any pain whole I was there. Going to talk to my family doc next month.
Electrolytes have removed most of my muscle spasms and cramps. I've found that a half dose daily works well. I use Hydralyte, one tablet in water. A full dose is 2 tablets, which I took at first. Sports drinks have electrolytes, but the calorie count and cost is higher.
@A MyFibroTeam Member do share what medicine it was...
Thanks everyone for sharing. I used the packets like propel or Gatorade.. I'm going to Keep up with it everyday πͺπ» πͺπ»πͺπ»πͺπ»
Yes we can only gain goodness from the electrolytes, I've never really thought about it before yesterday!!?
@A MyFibroTeam Member. I live in South Africa. I'm not sure whether you have the same products there as we have but I use Energade Sports Drink Zero Sugar Lemon, Lime and Ginger. We get it in our supermarkets or pharmacies. I hope you having low pain days. Love and soft hugs coming your way π¦π«πΉπ
I drink a lot of liquid IV. You can find it at Walmart and or Amazon. My kiddo has it around for his POTS diagnosis, but Iβm finding it work great when I need a pick me up. One thing to keep in mind is itβs higher in sodium. I also have high blood pressure, so Iβm careful on how many I have a week. 1-2 packets is all I allow my self?! Good luckβ¦hope it helps somebody. Super high in electrolytes and the sodium helps with the absorption. Good luck! π
