I’m awake, fully aware that I cannot move. No idea how long it will last? Will I stop breathing? Nobody home for the dog to alert, so I lay here,letting the pacemaker work, keep my mind calm. My muscles hurt, they cramp, they seize. My eyes are on fire from loss of function. My stomach turns, but it will pass, as soon as the potassium returns to my cells. Then I can get m rescue dose of potassium as soon as I can move. I’ll be weak for a while and hopefully not another attack today but at least I know what’s wrong with me. It only took 38 years to find out this is what will hypokalemic periodic paralysis sometimes………….
