It was raining a lot last night. Couldn't sleep. Do I blame the rain and sound like a loon? I was up most of the night wishing I didn't hurt so much. Gave up around midnight and came downstairs for a

Forgot A Dose - And Didn't Die!
As previously mentioned, my meds were adjusted a few days ago. Things have definitely seemed smoother, but a real shocker came this morning. I forgot my evening dose last night. It certainly explains the

Had a really great, productive morning today. After the attack yesterday morning, I really wasn't sure how things would go. Periodic Paralysis is funny like that - you never really know how it's going

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis was going to be discussed sooner or later. The attack on Friday was a pretty good one, so now is the time to talk about my PP (my periodic paralysis). Things might get vulgar;
