I finally got it, I could jump up and down with excitement, if only I wouldn't fall over when I landed
![]() Not for my MS though, that was diagnosed two years ago. But yesterday I got a diagnosis of HypoKalemic Periodic Paralysis. I have attacks of full body paralysis, even facial muscles, muscles that affect swallowing, and muscles that assist in breathing. I have had these for six years now and just finally got the diagnosis yesterday! But I was put on a medicine for it in February and have not had a full attack since. ![]() ![]() We now now that I have hypoglycemic issues, but it fluctuates drastically so I have to really watch my diet. But that also goes along with controlling the paralytic attacks. ![]() So now hopefully with watching my diet, carefully planning my activities, and taking all of my medicines I can get at least that disease under control! So now I've got MS, POTS, and HypoKPP. Oh and my doctor brought up that I might have MENS with what my blood sugars are doing. Really, three things aren't enough, I need to have another! Oh well I'm too happy about finally being diagnosed and treated (not told it's all in your head) to be bummed about anything!!! ![]() I hope everyone else is having a great day!!! Kristie |
