I have extreme dizziness, nausea, horrible muscle weakness, cramps and spasms, chest pain, intense muscle pain and left arm pain. I feel confused a lot of the time and I've been eating SO MUCH spinach, raisins and bananas, as well as taking potassium powder supplements. I can't get it above 3.9. I will ask for the other blood test. Oh, I had a one time urine test to see if potassium was leaving through kidneys. My dr. shakes his head and says, wow, I've never seen anything like this. Maybe he should visit the internet once in a while? My potassium has dropped from 5.2 to 3.4 since my TT in Oct. 2009.

I can't believe this! Awesome. I just about gave up, thinking I can't get any help. I tried alot of things with the adrenal issues and such...found out I can't use cortisols, so I gave up on everybody and stayed away, in my own misery.....I would have never knew this happened about potassium except for your blog! I am going for testing and find out where I am at. I was the same as Val, 4.2. Interesting! Oh, my! I can’t believe this! Awesome. I just about gave up, thinking I can’t get any help.

Thanks for this blog post...this comes at an all too familiar time, as I've just discovered my potassium is in the toilet, and I need to supplement. In fact Valerie and I were just posting on our Yahoo group about why kind to try, and how much. Thank you for always posting such relavent stuff...and lifesaving! Yay!
