Don’t forget your electrolytes

I have been dealing with sciatica for 8 months now and I need to share what I think what may have contributed to my first pain free week since this all began.

I started drinking electrolytes with water every evening about an hour before bed. I had read somewhere that electrolyte imbalances can impact nerve function and because I was at the point of trying just about anything, I bought a tub of electrolyte powder and began my routine.

After about a week, I had my first full night of sleep. It’s been about a month now and I’ve just had my first pain free week in 8 months and I feel almost completely normal.

Obviously this won’t be a cure all for everyone and this could’ve just been coincidental, but I thought I’d suggest it if you’re looking for something else to try.

Good luck out there everyone
