#I am also getting other electrolytes just in much more reasonable quantities lol

Okay I have had enough salt to be probably medically inadvisable for people without my particular health issues and am feeling moderately better*! I also have another question: How do you choose a mattress when you are buying one? I think I've only ever had hand-me-down mattresses from my siblings or mattresses my parents bought when I was little (idk, I just know I was uninvolved in the obtaining), and I am thinking a new mattress might help my Slept Wrong Injuries be at least less bad, if not stop them entirely, but idk how to choose one. My dad said I'd know when I laid on the mattress but my current mattress doesn't feel bad, but clearly is? So idk that I'll be able to tell *back to my usual "muscle issue flareup" level instead of "maybe it's worth seeing how bad muscle relaxers make my blood pressure" level lol

#the person behind the yarn #I am probably sitting at...about 7000mg of salt so far today? 6 or 7k #no not salt. sodium. #so at least 15 grams of salt #and I'm aiming for probably at least 1000mg more of sodium before I sleep #I am also getting other electrolytes just in much more reasonable quantities lol #salt wasting syndrome! it sneaks up on ya! #anyway mattresses: how to choose #other than not one of those fiberglass ones #for anyone new here wondering what the heck I meant about muscle relaxers and blood pressure #I am prone to very very low blood pressure. I take a few meds (including salt) for it #but ANYTHING that can cause low blood pressure WILL cause low blood pressure for me #far past the point it's supposed to lower blood pressure #including beta blockers! yoga! weighted blankets! #benadryl does lower my blood pressure too but I only take it when my allergies are raising my blood pressure #so it kinda cancels out? otherwise I could not take the benadryl #so muscle relaxers are probably a Bad Idea for me
