Trying to walk on the balls of my feet

[sovay]

And then later in the evening my body apparently ran out of electrolytes and spent the next seven or eight hours in a nearly full-body cramp, which was much less fun than just about anything I had planned or imagined spending the rest of the night doing. We think I may have accidentally flushed all the salts out of my body. Today I am mostly prone and drinking Pedialyte. I have books and movies, but could use interesting links and also suggestions for electrolyte replacement that don't taste like Mixed Fruit. (No, we have no bananas, we have no bananas or I would have eaten them last night.)

Thank you! selkie also recommends those. This just isn't a problem I have often had before.

I don't have that specific problem (which sounds painful, my entire sympathies), I just sweat forever and then crave lemony sugar.

I got to say, that also sounds un-fun.

I just sent them some. Skratch is amazingly less like consuming sweet snot, but you have to buy the dumb little packets if you live anywhere near as humid as we do, because the big bag clumps into an expensive brick.

Fucking humidity can die in a fire, except it won't because it's too damp to do that.

Um. Anyway! Thank you for sending Sovay some.

Bodies. Our only defense from our bodies is to band together against them. Or something?
