Believe it or not it started with the msg in Chinese food. It basically started attacking my central nervous system and because no one could tell what it was it turned into salt attacking my central nervous system. So for the years from when I was 20 -23 , I was sick all the time. Top drs and no one would say what it was. I finally went to an ent dr and he put me on a salt free diet. Everything went away. In the meantime I had bouts of optic neuritis, double vision, very ill. Now I’m not stupid this was prior to the internet so I kept my nose in medical books listen to me.

Now I just recently read where they finally put together high sodium levels and ms. I could have told them thAt. The reason I am reluctant to go back to see a neurologist is when I told the latest one is he wanted me to ingest salt to basically bring on an attack. What. This is what we try to prevent
