I read the link with interest. Thank you.

Muscle camping is my constant nemesis. To what extent is dehydration a factor muscle cramping? I used to be a water abuser (diagnosed as idiopathic polydypsia*), but, even so, I began to experience muscle cramping in the two years prior to my SFN diagnosis.


*I never had polydypsia. I just drank too much water. Like an idiot.

Too much water dilutes out the electrolytes in the blood.
It may lead to low sodium levels and that is called hyponatremia.

This condition is very complex, with many variants, and so the symptoms of each may be slightly different. In its worst form hyponatremia may be fatal. Certain drugs like diuretics and SSRIs and some opiates tend to cause it too, and/or may be additive with excess water.

I don't know if this link is on this thread, but I feel it's so valuable. Especially with heart health. My integrative MD has been on top of things with me as she has done Lipid Panels for the last couple yrs which found homocysteine and fibrinogen levels elevated....since working on these my levels are improving. So I'd like to add this link here as related to magnesium and more.

Spent a couple hrs with two friends last night, both dealing with afib, and I found that neither one were taking sufficient magnesium over the years.. One friend just came out of hospital and now she believes she had a major panic attack while in there, they put her out for 1.5 days and ran tons of tests, and after 5 days in hospital they sent her home with 5 heart meds....she still has heart palps when she lays down for sleep. One thing they didn't send her home with was magnesium, that's how I'm seeing it.

Excellent info here too:

Still bringing info to my two friends, and reading more and more about the afib epidemic...and seems to be leading to magnesium deficiency. Found this book thru another health seeker, Artrial Fibrillation, Remineralize Your Heart. Read some reviews on it on amazon.
