why is salt helping my back spasms?

[Guest guest]

Actually I have more questions about salt;)

I have been having extremely bad muscle spasms in my back for over a year now.

At times so bad I have to totally stop what I am doing and lay down and

consciously relax my muscles. I have sore tender spots all along my spine and

shoulders, neck, etc.that seem to come and go. I find if I push on these it

hurts terribly, but helps to relieve the pain after I release. Also, sometimes

my spine aches inside...weird. I have been on a quest to figure out what is

causing this. It is possible that I have fibromyalgia because I have fatique and

brain fog too.

Well, anyway miracle of all miracles, if I take the salt daily my back feels so

much better I can't believe it. Not cured yet, but better is a great gift!! I

have tried everything! SALT??? Why is this helping? I always craved salty foods

too. Can anyone explain why celtic salt is helping? Today I decided to do 1 tsp

instead of 1/2 and see what happens. Maybe I should take even more!

I also upped my iodine to 100mg a day for a few days, but then decided to back

it down to 50mg for a few days and then possibly go back up. How do I know how

much to take? I suspect I have some thyroid issues but have not been to a doctor

and don't know my levels of anything. Do I need to know these things (lab tests,

etc) in order to self treat, or can I just go by how I feel?

Thanks,
