Hi everyone, Ive been having a rough past few days with my hands and I was wondering if anyone has noticed a difference in their condition depending on salt. My hands seem to retain a lot of water and sweat nonstop on some days and I’m going to start seeing if salt intake makes a difference. Hope to hear your experience!!
Best wishes

Salt absolutely triggers my erythromelalgia but u need salt for my dysautonomia and low blood pressure.
Rich foods always worsen my EM; and they’re almost always rich because of salt or sugar. I’m not sure about salt, for me, but sugar and carbs - ALL carbs - worsen my EM. Rice, potato, pasta, it doesn’t matter which. Sugar absolutely causes the burning - including fruit.
