Does low sodium cause muscle cramps?

[Serendipitelle]

Hi there

I may have caused secondary adrenal insufficiency due to yo-yo dramatically on steroids.  I understand that one of the symptons is low sodium.  I have been having severe cramps recently, and was wondering if they are a result of low sodium.

Any clues?

Thanks for any advice.

If you want to check out a good salt, I use celtic sea salt. The kind that is not bleached white. It has all the trace minerals in it. It is recommended that people with adrenal insuff. drink 1/4 tsp in a cup of water a day. You can check this out on the websites though.

Hi there!  Sea salt is recommended for people with adrenal fatigue but your cramps could also be caused by low potassium levels. Have you had those checked?
