[QUOTE="Deleted member 17030, post: 92429, member: 17030"] I collapsed at home Wednesday after a hard day at work, started experiencing partial paralasys. i couldnt get up, lost all control of my legs, most of my upper body. I was rushed by wife to emergency room. After admittance and getting thru triage, my blood test for potasium came back at 2.0. My doctor said there is no way it could be that low and it had to be a lab error so a second blood sample was sent downstairs. It also came back 2.0. [COLOR=#111111][FONT=Helvetica]Normally, your blood potassium level is 3.6 to 5.2 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). A very low potassium level (less than 2.5 mmol/L) can be life-threatening and requires urgent medical attention. I have now spent 2 days in the hospital getting multiple potasium IVs, got my # back up to 3.9. Problem now is what caused it to crash. I have been on TRT for 8 weeks to no avail and found no improvements in how I feel. this may be why. I plan to continue my TRT during this. I have labs being taken in the morning. The specialist states the body can only dump postasium either thru poop or piss. If its poop that usually diareeha that I have not had. He states some hormone is telling my kidneys to dump potasium thru urine in error. Tests for which hormone that is starts tomorrow morning AM. Hope you all enjoy the picture. I am feeling much better and can walk again lol, clench a fist, push a button on a I Phone and wiggle my toes. Which before I could not. Doc said if I had went just a few more hours I could have died as my sinus rhythm with my heart was so out of sorts. More to follow.[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
