Strategy: Patient journey

I’ve been drinking a massive amount of plain water to flush my system, but I’m experiencing:

Constant dizziness and nausea.

Blurry vision and trouble focusing my eyes.

A "disconnected" feeling (brain fog/memory issues).

I'm trying to prevent kidney stones and gallstones because recent kidney stone went away on its own however the doctor said to be in a low fat diet and more water intake.

Stop drinking so much! This sounds like the start of water poisoning. You can drink so much water that it is fatal.

you need to add electrolytes once a day to your water. in the morning add an electrolyte pack like liquid IV. you are low on electrolytes because you’re drinking tons of water

This you need potassium, magnesium, and other electrolytes. Of course which ones and how much depends on what type of a stone producer you are.

You’re probably flushing all your electrolytes. My step mother was hospitalized for this. I add 1/2 a packet of Liquid IV once a day or drink a Gatorade if I start feeling dizzy

A long time ago, when I first really hit the water hard, I started to twitch. Nothing noticable to anyone else, just my pinky finger, or a thigh muscle. But it never stopped. My doctor told me to start a magnesium supplement and eat a banana a day. It stopped like magic!

Cut back on the water and drink an electrolyte drink 1-2x a day.
