I am new to editing this sites pages, so I do not know if this message will be received by others. I know a lot about hyponatremia. My dad and I suffer from it. It seems to be hereditary on my dad's side of the family. My sodium level dropped to a dangerous 118 (135 is normal) about 13 years ago. I suffered with horrible short-term memory loss. For example, I would write only two words and forget the rest of what I wanted to say. And, I put a tea cup with water and a tea bag in the microwave, and while standing in front of the microwave waiting two minutes for it to cook, I forgot why I was standing there.

I first took Declomycin at first to help, but it can make the kidney lazy and be less likely to bring the levels back up. So now, I take Urea-C Granules, and little beads, when the granules are not available. This seems to work as long as I am loyal to this treatment, but since it taste horrible I need to improve on taking it as described. I think after I read more on this site I'll try to do better so my levels do not drop to 127 like last month and 124 like a few years back.

My dad also suffered severe hyponatremia just two days ago. His sodium level was only 120. He was agitated, my mom described his mental condition being similar to Alzheimer's (confusion). He had uncontrolled tongue movements in and out of his mouth. He was extremely agitated and my mother was up all night trying to calm my poor dad down.

I am 53 and my dad is 84 years old.
