Did I Accidentally Stumble on Something?

I've been drinking a lot more water due to high uric acid and gout and consequently my craving for salt has shot up quite a lot.

Well. I've been hesitant to give in to it fully because sometimes I got skipped heart beats in the past if I ate too much salt at one time.

For lunch today I just ate as much salt as my tongue told me to and my energy just shot through the roof like it hasn't in a long time.

Could it be I needed more water and more salt...both? I realized I wasn't drinking more than maybe 8 ounces of water a day before the gout attack but I also was never thirsty either.....which I hear can signify Addison's.

The salt tasted so good at lunch today I can't even describe how good it tasted. Tweet
