The thirst is part of high aldo and teh peeing of a low K.CE Brim MDExcuse me??!!! What kind of comment is that? I asked if anyone had/has skin issues as a symptom or result of PA. Why would that be wrong to ask? Along with constant thirst and never being able to become hydrated I thought maybe people experienced the same problems I have and if not then I know it is something altogether different.

Please file under skin problems in PA and update if he has surgery and is cured.My husband has issues with flare-ups of very flaky itchy skin just under his eyebrows which gives him a great deal of trouble. He's had this ever since the high BP's started and has been using 1% cortisone cream off and on ever since. It doesn't really help and I tell him all it's doing is thinning out that skin. Interestingly, a flare-up is ALWAYS associated with a stressful event, even a minor short term stress, whether it be a difficult situation at work or a disagreement here at home. I definitely associate it with his PA.> > > > > >> > > > > > > I wanted to ask if anyone has/had any kind of skin issues > > as a> > > > > > > symptom of PA.> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > >> > > >> > >> >> >> >>

Several have gotten their lives back by hiring me. But many just by our group here. CE Grim MDI understand. I just have a hard time with "Dr. Grim" being so rude. It's too bad. This is all new to me and at first I thought it would be helpful to seek answers to fellow PA patients but I have to say I don't need the rudeness.

Actually the consultation is for good for one year unlimited access to my expertise for you and your health care team.CE Grim MD@Lettie Maddan I have seen hundreds of posts from Dr. Grim in the past month's he has always been very helpful, and not once I have seen him ask for money, he has just advices people to get one on one consultation and that he would help for months, for only 500$, what physician does that ? And I think that's only a a figure to charge something, and he is normally referring people to other physicians, and he HELPS without charging a cent here.he got defensive about the skin condition, and I understand it, we can get a LOT of spam in this group, and we have gotten it before, so one can be jumpy, even I have been extremely annoyed at people promoting stuff, that has no relation to PA or anythingThis group belongs to Dr Grim, and if he wanted he could do with it whatever he pleases, this group is not a right, it's a privilege.And now for the rude part, if you don't like it just leave the group, it's so easy to quit and stop listening to us and "Dr. Grimm" (as you call him ) R.S.> > > >> > > > I wanted to ask if anyone has/had any kind of skin issues as a symptom of PA.> > > >> > > > > > No idea if it is related to PA cause I do not see any relation but still, I have very very dry skin, and very dry eyes... tc> > >> >>

As far as we can tell from rats, mice and humans unless one is eating a high salt and a low K diet one will not be ill with excess aldo and/or low renin.But the depression issue has been poorly studied.

and not well studied. Feeling very bad from low K would make many "depressed" I think.

My example. When I was hospitalized and felt like I was dying, I had low sodium in my body, normal aldo, normal potassium and just low renin. I also would like to know what is the mechanism that causes such extremely bad feeling right after eating something not within DASH? For me, it's almost all meat and fat including chicken and turkey. Somebody here mentioned pizza. I wonder if it's possible that it's hormones in meat????

what I called the " brittles " (extreme anxiety, shakes, sweats).  Extreme over-consumption of sodium gave me

paralysis a couple of times.  I now eat

reasonable sodium.  Tonight a put a

little on my baked potato and felt nothing from it.

No testing. I'm

on Inspra so the tests wouldn't be valid anyway, would they? I'm quite convinced that Lyme set off a

string of endocrine problems for me - thyroid; then parathyroid, high calcium,

osteoporosis; and now, PA. I have a

friend with Lyme. Periodically, she

develops hypErthyroidism and then after a while, it settles down.

Yes, I have. That's why nobody diagnosed me with PA. But I started to take eplrenone 50 mg a day and my BP is much better and consistent but it's still not 130/80. It's in average 140/80.

Maybe, that's the reason! Thank you, Val. If I soak the meat in a cold water for while, does it help? I have different symptoms that is difficult to describe.

buying infused meat.  I don't think

soaking meat in water for a while would do much of anything.  Swelling hands, difficulty breathing could be

ingesting too much salt.
