Hi! I need help!
I am experiencing extreme muscle weakness, my legs feel like jelly and my arms are weak too. I had a real problem with these symptoms like 4-5 months ago but it got a lot better, but now it's back again, worse than before, feel like my knees are going to give in.....and when going to bed my legs are " restless"...
I'm on methylation supps since almost 8 months, currently on about 3mg Mefolate, 3mg MeCbl and 4mg AdCbl.
I take 600-700 mg potassium gluconate daily.
Recently I have started on adrenal glandulars (introduced slowly) and 25mg DHEA. I cannot bring to mind any other recent changes that may have had an influence....
I am contemplating upping the potassium but very scared of hyperkalemia and its possibly fatal consequences....
However, I had labwork only 3 months ago showing sodium in the higher normal range, and potassium in the mid-normal range (Even though I was supplementing potassium with 600mg-1g/daily). Perhaps I should not be scared of hyperkalemia, but its confusing since the symptoms seem to be similar for both hypo- and hyperkalemia...!?
And I have diagnosed myself with weak adrenals (I have all the signs and symptoms) and from what I read people with weak/fatigued/insufficient adrenals are sensitive to potassium??
I need to figure out why my legs are so weak again! Please help if you can!
