sodium regulates the eye's sphincter muscles in the iris.

THis makes sense, i remember these two muscles from Anatomy and physiology. Sodium is indeed critical. It's been a while i have not done that test. Probably 6 months ago. I will try it, let me find my flash light. I really do think it's low aldosterone for me though. It's what makes sense the most at this point, along with low cortisol as well.

I believe i've been high cortisol for years. This in turn has developed extra receptors to my cells. My cells are expecting more cortisol but because i'm not producing more they're left thirsty for that cortisol and i experience very low cortisol symptoms even though my saliva test comes back low - but not low enough to prove what i'm feeling.

Also, the yahoo group leader i'm working believes that a good level of sodium to shoot for on an electrolyte blood test (fasting 24-48 hrs salt) is 142-144. They consider even 138-139 being low for low cortisol AF.

The only problem i've had in the past with celtic Sea Salt has been a pain that i get in my heart/stomach area later on in the day. I do not know the cause of this.

My source for the cortisol receptor idea also attributed to the NTH adrenals yahoo group. Mind you, this group is really only for those that are really low cortisol and really do want to aim for HC as treatment. THe main goal there is to get you started on HC so you can feel better. Many have, but many have a hard time weaning off.
