Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Rhonda, I just wanted to chime in that I have had the not urinating often symptom for a LONG time....like 5 years. I went to so many doctors thinking it was my kidneys/bladder. I have been on so many courses of antibiotics thinking maybe it was an underlying bladder infection. It would help a little, but didn't fix it. I was always careful not to salt my food as I thought maybe that was causing the problem. Once I started doing the sea salt in water, it was amazing how much I started peeing more regularly. I think my body was so so unbalanced. My sodium was always low or under the range. So I have noticed that the salt has helped me a HUGE amount. Perhaps you need to use more salt because of your aldosterone level being so low? I am not a doctor, but I just wanted to share with you what helped me. Val had said that once our body got use to having salt that it would let go of fluid retention. It has helped me a lot.

I was the one that had an aldosterone of 2 and high end potassium and low sodium. I am not urinating very often. I can go about 5-6 hours without going if I am drinking salt water or water all day. I drink lemonaide and I finally feel the urge to go.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 How often do you need to run them? My results in November were Sodium 139 (range 135-146) potassium 5.0 (3.5-5.3) Bilirubin total was 0.9 (0.2-1.2) Rhonda Re: Yellowing of skin Not urinating i s possibly from low potassium, butit si serious.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 They can change daily. Yellow skin can be from several things. I think Vitwamin A deficiency (but not postive have to look it up) and high bilirubin are the ones I knwo of. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I also wanted to comment that yellowing or darkening of skin and elevated potassium can sometimes indicate adrenal problems. This is because of the lowered aldosterone levels in the body, not just lowered cortisol. > > How often do you need to run them?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Howdy Val, yellowing of skin can be due to Liver problems of course. This is usually yellowish tinge all over even whites of eyes can change to yellowish. However it can also be related to Vit A. IF you have a problem converting carotenes (PRE-Vit A) to ACTUAL/ACTIVE Vit A then the Caroetenes build up & colour the skin. Can look yellowish or orange. often the palms of the hands show this first. Many Hypos have trouble converting things to active forms. Including B Vits, COQ10 & Vit A. So then you have deficiencies in the ACTIVE forms of the vits. Avoid Vits which have Carotenes (read labels closely as many say Vit A but when you read closely its Betacarotene or similar). Take Vit A in active form (eg.Retinol Palmitate). Note Rentyl Acetate is a synthetic form of Vit A. Note plant Vit A is actually Carotenes. I take Vit A 20000 IU daily & rest of family is on 10000 IU daily. Lethal Lee > > They can change daily. Yellow skin can be from several things.
