Guest guest Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 You are loosing potassium in sweat. Can always try the V8 but would expect it will take some time for the K to get back in cells. > > I have learned so much by reading all your posts and responses for everyone.

I arrived at 7:45 and blood was drawn at 8am like Dr. requested. Not sure how different my outcome will be. My husband mentioned to me that if the blood work is consistent with the previous done in May then he heard the Dr. say we will go ahead with Saline Suppression. > > I do have a question about exercise. I am a runner. I have been for about 3 yrs now.(avg. 16-20 miles/week) for the past 8 or 9 months my running goals have suffered b/c of energy levels. One morning I will feel invincible and go run for about 3 or 4 miles and feel great the entire day. I have to spend the next 5 days recovering from it. that's not like me at all, but its become the norm.... is that directly related to my potassium? Its been hovering 3.5-3.8..... > Is there a PA recovery drink for vigorous exercise? Would it be V8? My husband is concerned that I shouldn't run b/c my body could be losing important electrolytes differently b/c of my PA. > > > Any thoughts on this? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
