Hey this is just to let everyone know but last night i was at the Emergency Room after I passed out and woke up unable to move any part of my body. After about 3-4 hours of blood testing and the like the told me I had hypokalemic periodic paralysis. It is apparently a hereditary disease that can very rarely be caused by a genetic mutation. Some of the causes are: Eating a high sodium and high carb diet (since I work two jobs all I have time for is fast food so I guess 'check' here), Streneous work then sudden rest (I had worked 8am-10pm every day this week but monday, and Saturday I had worked 9-6 and after work I went to see Avengers soo.. 'check'), and low potassium (my blood test came back with low potassium, 'check') These attacks can last anywhere from 3 hours-24 hours. If you want to read more about this you can check it out here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhea…

I should be fine for now but I need to see a neurologist about how I can prevent this from happening again.
