Since, I've had a pacemaker put in and cannot have follow up MRIs. I have numerous other health issues (some which mimic MS type disorder, think bladder), orthostatic issues, autoimmune issues and recently got diagnosed with intracranial hypertension and had a VP shunt put in three weeks ago. Crazy world we're living in, and I'm one of the test subjects!
Sorry you're going through the crazy world of unknown medical problems as well.

I don't think attacks of hypokalemic periodic paralysis last that long, but you could always bring it up with your doctors to see if it might be whats wrong.

I hope you find out what's going on soon. I know it can be very frustrating.
