Thank you to everyone who offered advice on my drinks situation and the adding of pink salt. It came in my shopping yesterday.
Today I have drank almost 3 litres of water that had pinch of salt, slice of lemon and some cucumber.
No I’ll effects and no headaches.
It is a blooming miracle.
Now it was stupidly hot (29 degrees) and by lunchtime (I started at 7.30am) I did feel completely done in and could easily have laid down for a kip. But 1 jelly baby later and I perked up. it was still a struggle and was harder than a normal day energy wise etc but I’m so happy I could drink all that and not feel rubbish. To drive home I felt very tired again so just had another jelly baby to make sure I got home ok.
I’m still thirsty and could happily have drank more but it was certainly better than previous when I couldn’t drink as much as I needed and still felt rough.
Now just a quickie, am I right in thinking a lump of cucumber because I’m not actually eating it, it’s just diffusing, that I don’t need to count carbs?
