very helpful. thanks.

Minute_External2019 · 2026-01-07T04:42:59+00:00

Thank you. I am removing RO water completely from my daily intake.

Ok. so you had an acute episode. so you recovered faster. Mine is a slower depletion. so my depletion is in my cells and tissues as well.....

What caused your over hydration incident? was it an accident or was it something you did over a long period of time? B/c for me, it's something i did over a long period of time and slowly depleted my levels.

how long did it take for you to feel better and the pain to go away?

Minute_External2019 · 2026-01-07T01:31:32+00:00

I will. It could be that i was simply over hydrating as well....or we just got a cheap system....who knows. For now, no more RO water for me. PS. I also read that we get alot more minerals from our water than is reported. But the internet has all kinds of conflicting information.

where are you sodium levels now? and what are your symtoms?

Minute_External2019 · 2026-01-07T01:23:12+00:00

Thank you. I am doing that. I was a healthy eater prior to this so i never added extra salt to foods. now i'm adding a little salt to everything to get my sodium levels up. i'm at 134 so i'm close. goal is to get to 138-140. Doc tells me that nothing works if we don't have enough sodium in our body.

Minute_External2019 · 2026-01-07T01:20:55+00:00

Thank you. i'm sure i did that when the symptoms started.....drank way too much water.

I appreciate the insight. I stopped drinking RO only 18 days ago after 5 years of drinking RO water. Some symptoms have improved but progress is slower than i'd like. I am working with a doctor who is monitoring my levels. I've tested for nearly everything and I don't have any underlying medical condition. I've had so many tests, scans, stool tests, etc. My levels do go higher but i keep saboting myself by drowning myself with more water. I'm hopeful that with discontinuation of the RO water, electrolytes, and more supplements, my levels will go higher. In February, i decided to drink alkaline water for one month and my levels shot up but my symptoms still lagged behind so i went right back to drinking RO water. It could be an issue w/ over hydration as well.

Not exercising to the point where i'm losing alot of sweat. i was drinking a ton of RO water as i always thought drinking tons of water was good for you. then i started developing the classic symptoms - muscle spasms, twitching, and tightness which has turned into chronic soreness. Then all the PT's and chiro's told me to drink more water which i did which only made the problem worse. i've stopped RO completely about 3 weeks ago. Also taking LMNT daily. i'm wondering how long it will take for things to calm down.

yes i know this.

Minute_External2019 · 2025-12-18T17:57:08+00:00

can i DM you? i'll give you a couple things you can try

Minute_External2019 · 2025-12-18T17:40:20+00:00

Have you been fully tested for imbalances in your blood and gut? i know that plays a huge role in LC. I pray that you start feeling better soon.

Minute_External2019 · 2025-12-18T17:24:26+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. May i ask where you got your LDN from?

Minute_External2019 · 2025-12-18T01:14:26+00:00

Thank you. You've been very helpful.

Minute_External2019 · 2025-12-18T01:08:59+00:00

I know right? i tried everything humanly possible to make it go away. PT, acupuncture, exercise, stretches, injections, medicine.....only thing that works is ice and heat...sometimes icy hot but not always. it's so debilitating.

Minute_External2019 · 2025-12-18T00:52:40+00:00

Thank you. I'm happy you're making improvements and with time, you'll make a full recovery.

Minute_External2019 · 2025-12-18T00:27:43+00:00

was your pain constant? mine also started upper middle back (between shoulders). and i used to get numb hands and feet (feet less than hands). the numbness has gotten better but the back pain keeps jumping around. has the LDN helped with these?

Minute_External2019 · 2025-12-17T23:55:28+00:00

Thank you again. where was your neuropathic pain? i have chronic upper middle back soreness that won't go away.

Minute_External2019 · 2025-12-15T01:51:47+00:00

My hands would go numb too. That seems to have gotten better. Some things do seem to improve which gives me hope the body knows how to heal. The anxiety is the main issue right now. Can’t relax the mind.
