Help

Rhod, They took him off of Potassium? Why? Why was it prescribed to begin with? Did he have low levels? Did you know that a low level of potassium not only makes muscles weak but can cause the heart to fail?

Someone needs to check a metabolic panel immediately. In a clinic or a hospital.

He should not take magnesium supplements, which can also make MG worse.

You can't solve a problem until you know what the problem is. Find another primary doctor for a 2nd opinion. He needs help right away. This is just crazy!!!

Coffee has potassium in it, as well as caffeine (a cholinesterase inhibitor like Mestinon—to some degree).

That stupid primary doctor, if your husband has a low potassium, could have killed him. Geez, is money more important than health to that doctor?

Please, get him help now.
