Hi, controlling potassium is a very frustrating job. The biggest problem is there is no test kit. Writing to the Secretary of Health .
If the members here could send a note to the new Health Director
Robert Kennedy.
A simple device for the electrolytes would help about 100 million people
The only way I could control my potassium was to move to either Nevada or Arizona. The dry humidity has worked. We do not know how far our environment can rule our body. My son had Bronchitis/Pneumonia it was the mold from the leaves and pine trees. Solution he lives near sand and that stopped the yearly hospital trip.
My potassium went from 7-9 with heart problems and the ER.
Now it is 4 5 and highest 5.5. I took the move trip to dry humidity. It was an aggressive choice but in 6 years not any number over 5.5.
The second is a very tight potassium control on food. Not one potato will pass my lips. I know it is difficult, but finding new foods and recipes is a great distraction. Yes, I combine kidney , diabetes and stomach foods. The foods are a great opportunity to read and learn about other countries and choices. Teas are very helpful. The tea oolong is exceptional. I feel it keeps my numbers low
I hope they will find a ring you can wear that changes color for many issues. We have one I wear for heart
I hope the positive thoughts help. My kidney stays at 3a. It does go to 3b and I watch everything and I do go back to 3a.
Stay positive
Best

No, the doctor hasn't told him how many grams of potassium he should have. He went for blood work last week and again this week , will call Dr Monday.
