Yes, I agree with what you say; i am not
sure what a significant result in a trial
test is, but for myself, i am pretty sure
that i am now getting hyponatremia as a result
of sodium excretion from chronic lithium use;
that is just a hunch from reading and matching
my symptoms which are recent - constant thirst,
fevers, head sensations, orthostatic hypotension,
peripheral neuropathy, and salt, salt, salt,
all over my body - where is it coming from?
Not to mention the d word ( yuch, every morning );So, i am experimenting and lowering my lithium
every week by a small amount as i have asked
to have it lowered but i got the reply (3x) that
i am in the safe range (0.50 to 1.2). And that
range is taken once a year and was shown to me;
I wanted to say but but but, the level may change,
but i am so shy.You see my point. Very frustrating as i am
not a doctor and yet i am sure something is
going wrong.Squiggles
