"1.Throw out the salt shaker
2. Record your sodium intake to help make you accountable.
3.Use herbs to put some sparkle in your plate
make a new game plan, that fits you.
Good luck. Nancy"

boilerman replied to boilerman's discussion 'I really need help'"Thanks to all that have replied so far. They must do things different where ever most of you are at. Here NO Pharmacy will do that for you. Take time to talk to you .Heck you are lucky if they will say hello to you. The majority of my drugs are by…"
Kathy commented on boilerman's blog post 'No Title'"I have kidney problems and salt restriction is crucial. But oh so very hard. Restaurant eating is nearly impossible and I used to socialize a lot over restaurant meals - book club, knitting group, etc. I am now retired so have time to cook things…"
Pastelpainter commented on boilerman's blog post 'No Title'"You can buy all sorts of herbal substitutes for salt. I find salt dulls the flavour of real food, so I use very little. Falling off the wagon with regard to diet is much harder and something I struggle with too. I don't call it diet either, I…"
jrtpup replied to boilerman's discussion 'CHAT'"Why not both? I like chat, and I like participating in discussions as well. Come check us out some time ;0"
Stemwinder replied to boilerman's discussion 'CHAT'"Chat does seem to come and go. It is most popular after the dinner hour. If you visit Chat and find no one there please be patient people pop in and out often during the day and someone usually comes along after a short while.
Please don't give…"

acidrock23 replied to boilerman's discussion 'CHAT'"I don't go in the chat room much as I'm not a huge fan of it. I like all the people there and certainly miss the people who go there instead of the forums but I'm a big fan of message boards > chat/ twitter/ FB for D stuff, which…"

GRRRRRRI just cannot get and stay with the program. Staying with any kind of a diet seems to be impossible for me! I start off good but slowly go back to my old ways every time. I know I need to lose weight and most important I need to STAY away from SALT! but I am addicted to salt I guess.See More
Gb replied to boilerman's discussion 'I really need help'"Boilerman, this would be a good time to get someone in your life to act as an advocate. I know when my sugars are nuts I can't really think straight, and if you've had trauma recently maybe you aren't too sure about Exactly…"
Zoe replied to boilerman's discussion 'DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS'"As I suggested on a previous thread, I've had a doctor tell me that when you approach 10 meds you are entering the danger zone and you are beyond that even with just the prescription meds. I would suggest making an appointment with your PCP.…"
"What Goldensun says is true a pharmacy that is familiar with you and your drug history can be helpful. But one thing that can also be as helpful is your computer. When I'm given any drug I always look it up, especially the side effects. You can…"
Zoe replied to boilerman's discussion 'I really need help'"Hi Boilerman. I looked at your page and saw you mention going to the hospital and being put on some drugs there. This happens a lot and then the person is on drugs that may have just been meant for a crisis and even drugs that overlap or contradict…"
Brian (bsc) replied to boilerman's discussion 'I really need help'"Sometimes when you see lots of different doctors, they all put you on a couple of drugs. And a couple here, a couple there and it adds up and all together it becomes even worse than not taking the drugs. Do you have a single doctor that you trust…"
