Thanks nemsmom :-)

I've mentioned the idea of periodic paralysis to my gp - she's referred me back to neuro as these episodes are just becoming more and more frequent (roughly every 3rd day at the moment) and said she would mention PP in the letter. I'm waiting for an appointment.

So far this neurologist has insisted he is correct in his diagnosis of chronic migraine syndrome - I'm hoping he's prepared to at least consider other things as I've tried his drug suggestions and continued to get worse :-(

I've tried, over the last week or two, having much less carbs and sugar, but the attacks have been as frequent. I'll try your suggestion of eating as I normally would and see if there's a pattern or trigger I can pick up.

Thanks for your help :-) I'll keep you posted.
