Default potassium

I'm on Day Three of IVIG, as an inpatient, and very homesick. I need two more transfusions, because I'm not having much of a response to it. Or maybe I would be way worse now without it--hard to say.

Anyway, my routine lab work came back showing my potassium is a bit low. I'm not surprised--I take HCTZ as a diuretic to ward off the menstrual migraines that used to plague me.

I've probably been lowish for a while. I"m wondering if any of the symptoms I put down to MG could have had more to do with the potassium deficiency. I haven't had any muscle cramping.

Thanks.

Abby
