On the subject of salt - it could be that you are not getting enough broad spectrum salts. I base this on the eating a bananna cure... banannas being high in potassium...
I have suffered from a potassium deficiency problem since almost carking it from heat stroke/dehydration in '76.
I was put on salt tablets by a GP but this upset the Sodium Potassium balance in my body.
I now use Lo Salt (a low sodium salts mix inc all the minor salts) for food use and after any sweaty activity I swill a rehydration drink (blackcurrant Dyoralite is my favourite) and now rarely suffer cramps except in my neck (but that is down to my paralysed face more than salt depletion) so it works for me!
Good luck with the thyroid thing - I was investigated for this recently (turned out to be a wild virus) but if your symtoms are anything like the ones I had then you want that sorted FAST!
Oh and dont anybody bother getting old - it hurts all over and the only cure for getting old is worse than the problem itself.....

, you will dilute your body's salts...which can actually be fatal. I don't know how much water you drink mate, but it is another thing to think about.
