On: Study Reveals Immune Driver of Brain Aging

[erentz]

WRT reduced sensation and sweating: you may want to find a neurologist who deals with dysautonomia, and maybe get autonomic function testing done. Also look into small fiber neuropathy. There are support groups for these on FB and the like that may have useful information or referrals to good doctors. A lot of doctors hear small fiber neuropathy and only think diabetes. But it’s frequently associated with dysautonomia, progressive and autoimmune/inflammatory in origin.

I have reduced sweating. It sucks big time.

Best I can tell its from Sjogrens Or neuropathy problems from Sjogrens.

Also dysatonomia is often caused by IIH. Treating IIH, drastically improved symptoms. Literally draining off spinal fluid.

Can salt intake/blood pressure affect IIH at all?

[treeman79 → dualthro]

Yes. Blood pressure pills help out. Salt is weird.

Oddly salt can at times improve IIH. But it’s not something to mess around with.

Basically too much water causes organs to swell. Most organs handle this well enough. Brain will swell, but has no room to do so.

A big dose of salt will draw water out of organs, including brains.

Very good medical case I read up on, but can’t find now.

A lot of Sjogrens people recommend adding pink salt to water or other hydration packs.

Pure water seems to worsen dehydration. I have found this to true.

Be careful as this is a complicated thing, and can hurt yourself by having too much or too little.
