I guess I've been lucky so far as I didn't use the "Sports" drinks on a regular basis.....
Banana's have been a regular part of my game day diet which I guess cover's the potassium.
And the pickle juice treatment I also enjoy.
Either way, I'll be paying more attention from now on...

Oh and by the way, I couldn't have had hyponatremia - hell, I can't even pronounce it!!!
