> Hyponatremia...I don't think I've ever had that. But then I've only just learnt about it so I might have had it without knowing. Low sodium in the blood. Marathon runners sometimes get it - too much sodium lost through sweating. Too much water intake flushes out the sodium?

Yes, i think that is it. Hyponatremia(Na = sodium ) mean low sodium; sodium is the part in table salt that is relevant to lithium diet. When you drink a lot of water (too much) then your sodium level goes down, and the lithium goes up.

It's an acid/base balance that is important, i think. This stuff is complicated for me.
