Patient view

Electrolytes reduced my pain symptoms by a whopping 70%! I notice a difference even if I don't take them for a day. It's like my body can't hold onto water..

Patient view

YES! I've been developing pots symptoms so that's what made me start taking electrolytes seriously. And wow do I feel so much better when I take them!

September 2024 • /r/LongCovid

Patient view

One of the things that has helped me is E-lyte electrolytes by a specialist. She has worked with another specialist. It's a bottle of electrolytes that is perfectly balanced. You add it to soups, food or I just drink it down. It really helps my BP and energy. Salt really upsets my tummy. I have to drink it down in increments but I pour it on my food.

Patient view

I take electrolyte tablets which make a big difference to me if you can handle swallowing tablets. No taste at all!

Patient view

In addition to other strategies, use electrolyte powder, tablets, or drink. It has helped me immensely.

October 2024 • /r/cfs

Patient view

Electrolyte powder in water, first thing in the morning and then mid afternoon, makes a difference for me. Not a huge, dramatic difference, but it's actually noticeable if I forget it.

September 2024 • /r/cfs

Patient view

The way in which electrolytes immediately calm my body/heart rate is so bizarre. I stopped taking them for a month or two and then started having issues again that sent me to ER. Never again.

September 2024 • /r/LongCovid

Patient view

It's very true, I take electrolytes often and I find a huge difference in energy levels and weird body pains/twitches I usually have. I usually have them in the morning or before bed I make a lil mocktail.
