Oh and you might feel worse before better. The crash after IVSM is kind of bad for some people. I typically would crash for a couple of days and then get progressively better for a couple of weeks.
I'm so glad you went, got a good doctor, got it documented, and got treatment that might help to end this flare. Good for you!

Fresh spinach is high in potassium, and this site has a list of potassium rich foods.

I have HypoKalemic Periodic Paralysis so the depletion of potassium makes it so that I can't use the steroids. I had a different page that listed more potassium rich foods but when a virus wiped out my computer I lost the link. This one has a pretty good list.
If you use fresh spinach in a smoothie with pineapple and strawberry with a little honey to sweeten it's great!
I hope you start feeling better soon!
