He was put on potassium a long time ago after he had a stent put in. All his tests had been normal for years so we have kept using it because he does get muscle cramps.
Earlier this year he had surgery for kidney cancer, he had a kidney removed and the other one is not yet functioning as well as it could, that's why the doctor decided to stop the potassium. It's a tricky balance between the kidney meds and MG meds. His potassium level was on the high side but not above the limit. I don't think the primary care doctor should have been getting involved in the first place, we have specialists for this. My husband liked him but I think he's an idiot. You know he actually told him he would not recover, that he was "on the way out"!! contrary to what the specialist said. He came home and went to bed and stayed there for 3 days. They keep telling you to watch out for suicidal tendencies after surgery and this idiot makes him worse.I got him back to the specialist who sorted out his worries.
The good news is that he does seem to be doing better.
