You don't by any chance have constant hunger and muscle weakness do you?

I add loads of salt to my food (that said I believe I have run down  
adrenals, of which a key symptom is salt craving), but last time my  
blood pressure was checked it was perfectly normal.  Not a very  
scientific study, I know, but I have only me to go on.  I am not  
scared of salt, and have yet to see any compelling evidence why anyone  
with healthy kidneys should be.  I suspect salt will be the next  
cholesterol...
