I had my routine EMG testing on my upper and lower body. My neurologist said my legs are still getting worse. Left leg is really bad. My arms are not really

Low Sodium And Chloride Levels In Blood
A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

Hello all, hope you are enjoying a peaceful Saturday. I have had low sodium/chloride on and off for over a year now.

I have both lupus and sjogren's. Sjogren's causes me to be very thirsty. I've been told conflicting things about hydration. I am now adding Propel once a day. Anybody have any thoughts about… read more
