I take potassium twice a day. 10 mg in the morning and 10 mg at night but I
also take a diuretic. It gets low sometime and I feel terrible. I even
went to ER one night because I felt so bad and they had me down a lot for a
week.

Subject: [QUAD-L] has anyone ever heard of this problem
Good morning,
I have a friend who is a quadriplegic C5-6, and during the past six months
he has been in the hospital five times. I don't know all the facts, I
will try to determine more information, but one symptom is low blood
pressure. The idiots in the hospital take urine cultures and tell him that he
has
a bladder infection. Duh!
Last Sunday he started a gurgling sound, eyes rolled back in his head and
appears to have a seizure. The ambulance was called and his heart stopped
twice, but was restarted. The only thing that is abnormal is the fact that
his body is not processing sodium and they must give him intravenous
sodium.
The heart doctor says he has no problem, the kidney doctor says that his
kidneys look good, in my opinion they're all a bunch of idiots.
Anything sound familiar, other than the doctors are idiots?
