When I had low sodium (and high potassium) they literally told me to eat lots of crisps :laughing:

Sorry to hear that Ɠlan. Iā€™ve sat through enough dysnatraemia treatment to know what a drag it is.

I was genuinely surprised to find out just how complex the bodyā€™s feedback mechanisms for electrolyte control are. There has been a fair bit of work put into trying to model them but it seems thereā€™s still no practical tool available to support clinicians at the bedside. And there often isnā€™t much time. Patients turn up with an issue without any real warning and they have to set about sorting it there and then. I asked the doctor what symptoms to look out for that would tell us if Claireā€™s sodium was on the slide. She shrugged her shoulders and said ā€œIt makes you feel a bit shitā€.

Best of luck to your MiL Guy, and hope you get sorted and your day isnā€™t too tiresome Ɠlan.

Canā€™t have the ups without the downs.

Currently sitting waiting for an X Ray of my deteriorating right hip. The left one was resurfaced in 2007 and its holding up but the right one is getting increasingly painful so I need to get on the pathway towards replacement. Who knows what the wait time might be for surgery though.

Home now. That was a feckinā€™ tedious day but hopefully I will start to feel a bit less run down and shitty than usual.

Might later, but Iā€™m not interested right now. I feel tired out so I doubt booze would be sensible. Might have an AF beer later on with dinner.

I was at my GPs surgery on Monday evening as Iā€™m having trouble with my left hip joint. She advised me there is now a three year wait for a hip replacement :anguished:

Well sheā€™s ok apparently.

I was going to make some ā€œshe didnā€™t dieā€ crack but my dad did apparently ā€œdieā€ on the table and they had to zap him to bring him back. That must have have given the team a nasty turn.
