I think we lose our humanity when we let that type of hatred in our hearts. I won't let them take that from me.

Last blood draw in August potassium was 5.2, sodium 143. Basically potassium tends to be between 4.5 and 5.5. I had an outlier at 6.1 once that sent me to the ED the next day. Tested in that setting it was 4.4. Discovered the Graves that day.

My sodium is usually around 138 to the higher end of normal.

I can't imagine hitting a small child. I once accidentally smacked my kid on the face when we were playing a game and I was beside myself. So much evil in this world, it just breaks me.

Appreciate all the input. I have had normal thyroid blood work for almost 2 years now. All my other tests from my pcp seem to say I'm fine, though I've had high potassium that no one will bother trying to explain and I know damn well that could do this too. All I care about is being here for my family. Docs keep saying all of this is benign, just wished I knew if that were true.

That's what I've thought too and haven't had any luck. I do have Graves, but it went into remission and my numbers have been fine since and the antibody test came back neg ever since. I got diagnosed with MS one year because a neuro read the report of my mri without looking at the images. Saw a specialist who did a ton more and was like yea, you don't have ms. Everything is manageable, but it be really nice to have a functioning heart again.

Fasciculations have been a 24/7 resident for 4.5 years, though they are worse with bad dietary choices or illness. The heart is worse with bad diet, poor sleep, and illness. Only other thing I can think of is that I get episcleritis usually with them too. I used to be an athlete, now I'm just a young 40 yo who feels 82.

I cut out caffeine over a year ago, alcohol years before because of headaches, and don't eat sugar either. I had massive amounts of stress a few years ago, caused BFS twitching and scared me that I had ALS. Body never went back to normal. Big stress event with my kid having a bad diagnosis and a new high stress job effed my thyroid and my heart. Thyroid got better, now I'm left with everything else. Work from home has been a blessing, but I get these weird flare-ups where things get really wonky with my heart for awhile. No one seems to be concerned or give a shit about helping either.

I'm getting thousands of PVCS, and some psvt. Had a few nights where I wasn't sure if it was afib since I was getting so many. Sucks hard. Heart MRI checked out fine so they just tell me its benign. Wish I could get my life back.

Do we have a source for these numbers. I failed to find it.

The major barrier is that they don't have a good epilepsy center for my daughter and we currently have one of the best in the country. Tough to argue that one. Good medical care is tough in rural areas.

It's so fucking hot down there though. I just want the commies to leave.

My actual boomer parents raised me to be the person I am and they are mad as hell about what is going on. Don't lump them all in there.

I defriended my sister in law after she told all people who still support trump to defriend her. Happy to oblige.
