Strange symptoms and aspirin toxicity?
Hi Interactome,
How much of Peat's writing have you read?
If you think you have kidney disease, you could see if you can find a nephroloist to test/confirm/deny.
If you think you might be suffering this, or milk-alkali syndrome, or anything related, then it is serious enought that I think it would be advised to get fresh tests for basic blood work. I imagine calcium, potassium, sodium, pH, maybe PTH would be relevant, but I'm no expert, so don't go on my word.
I don't know if you should drink more or not - I don't know how much you are drinking now. You've said you were thirsty, and that your urine was dark, and that you had high ammonia. Underdrinking could cause this, but I don't know if it is.
Peat generally recommends drinking to thirst and salting to taste. If 0.9% saline tastes good you, maybe it is. But I'd be surprised if it tastes good for long/much.
I don't see much point in getting an MRI till you've checked basic chemistry.
Has your UpH gone down since you stopped drinking baking soda?
Has your ammonia gone down since you started drinking more water (and/or juice)?
Lots of fruits should be OK. But if you prefer honey or sucrose for sugar, they options. Unless they cause you trouble, I see no problem with potatoes or rice either for carbs. Having smaller portions of protein seems like a good idea.

You already know your heart has a possible defect that could impair circulation.Interactome said:post 103178
I found this on the web: http://www.uptodate.com/contents/nsaids ... plications
It feels like this is what I have.

Maybe because it has nothing to do with the aspirin?Interactome said:post 103178And why doesn't it go away now that it's been 2.5 weeks with no Aspirin...
