I wanted to collate symptoms of potassium deficiency that have occurred since starting the methylation protocol:
--Muscle tension, cramps, spasms largely in the legs, but I have had several (two) severe back spasms as well (and I have never had these in my life).
--Some muscle tension in upper arms and neck and occasionally in hands
--Tension headaches
--A sensation of "heaviness" (i.e. "hard to lift") in my legs---particularly during exercise--this is different from cramps or spasms
--Occasional heart palpitation
--Eye twitching (muscle spasm)
All of the above relieved by taking potassium. I seem to be eating potassium around the clock these days. I take 1/4 tsp (roughly 600 mg.) of Potassium Gluconate (Bulk Supplements via Amazon) every hour in a bit of juice. I take potassium to bed with me as sometimes the muscle tension wakes me up. I am wondering when my need for potassium might slow down.
