Re: S re Potassium, Still sick, bugs, no brace today

[Guest guest]

Hi S.

When your potassium level was all out of whack were you also fighting

this cold and do you think it was related? My 17 yr. old dtr was

fighting a virus and had episodes or arrhythmia and I am now thinking

that perhaps her potassium was out of whack and might have been causing

the arrhythmia. When she is fighting a virus or cold she will almost

have a couple of nighttime episodes of sweating+++, waking with severe

spinning vertigo causing restlessness and terrible gagging nausea with

gastric distress. She saw Dr. Grubb in Jan.2004 and obtained the

diagnosis of EDS Hypermobile Type with Marfans overlay.

Please email me off list if you wish at bfhalkett @ simpatico.ca no

space after Halkett and before simpatico.

Thanks in advance, Bernie

Still sick, bugs, no brace today

Hi all!

Still have my cold. I went for my new right knee brace today, but he

brought the wrong size, I have to wait till next week, Thursday. Now

it seems I have the wrong size on my left knee too! So next week two

new braces. These darn bugs, Cicadas have to go! So noisy and

everywhere! Everytime you go outside one comes in on your shirt or

down your shirt, cats bring them in! Oh joy! They are even doing

their mating thing on my deck rails!

I'm glad you are home Betty! Thanks Lana, TJ, Patti,Mors6 for your

all's advive on cold remedy's. Just can't take anything but Afrin,

and my albuterol inhaler.

Patti, so sorry the GI Dr. treated you so badly, gees you had a GI

bleed! What an a--!

I feel preety bad. Talk to you all later, Much Love to all!

Sincerely, S.

I know I'm late in this conversation.

But, my 17 year old got mono, was having palpitations, cold sweats, etc. and

then we found out her potassium is low. She hasn't be dx'd with marfan's, but

she has had her lung collapse 3 times, which is something that happens to people

with marfans. She is tall and very thin.

Sorta coincidental, I'd say, for someone who " Doesn't have anything wrong with

her! " wouldn't you say?
