don't worry about eating something salty. you need the sodium! also potassium. it's better to drink something like Pedealite (sp) to replenish the electrolytes than gatorade. gatorade has lots of sugars. also, Pedealite comes in Popsycles that can add a change of pace and sometimes something cold can help the nausea. but i wasn't sure if you could have the cold..with your mouth rsd?
keep you calcium levels up too.
a dr will ususally give an rx for the patches. you don't have to keep them on all the time.
