[QUOTE="Steely, post: 462908, member: 3301"] I am just going to ask a probably stupid question, but has her potassium been checked? Probably, but FWIW, I had all of what you are describing happen to me traveling from dallas to arizona. I had to get out of the car, fell to the ground, all of my muscles seized up, I could not move any parts of my body without my mom prying my hands open, my tongue was thrust forwards, and I could not talk. I was care flighted to the hospital (because I managed to have this happen in no-mans land - and also because the paramedics thought it was something serious.) By the time I got there things had stopped, and when they did my blood work they found that my Potassium was extremely low. I had gotten severely dehydrated moving and that caused my Potassium to be really low....However, to this day I still have to take Potassium or I will start to have the same types of muscle problems. I have not found out the reason that my body never has enough Potassium, but it is probably related to my kidney problems. It is a simple thing to have her bloodwork quickly checked, if she hasn't had it done in 6 months, just to rule that out. [/QUOTE]
