first potassium deficiency, then Acidosis. how do others deal with it.
Hey :) I am currently feeling like on an awful rollercoaster.
i was diagnosed with iih last august and was on 750mg of Diamox ever since.
first we realised i need a lot of additional potassium to stay into the normal range. was on 1.8g daily. even with that i went into potassium deficiency which was not fun at all. i am now taking 2400mg or potassium and are finally back in the normal range.
As I still felt reaaaally awful (drooping eyelids, tiredness, extremely cold and tingly feet and hands, muscle pains, dizziness, I feel like i am drunk) and my chlorid value and some kidney value is not great, they suspect mild acidosis.
Now they are reducing the diamox dosis and i have to take bicarbonate.
Has anyone else has experience with acidosis? how did you handle it? how long did it take to get better?
