Sometimes, keeping things balanced is just not possible and you have to choose between which crappy symptoms you want to have. That’s where I’m at today. Sadness. 

The other day, I was experiencing an electrolyte deficiency that lead to me passing out. Clearly, this isn’t a functional or safe state of being and needs to be addressed. So, I loaded up with extra sodium and potassium which got me feeling better. 

Until now. Because now I feel awful. The extra potassium has made my interstitial cystitis flare so it feels like there are knives in my bladder. I took some pyridium which helps a little. Now I just have to ride it out.
