@kimmarie67 and @jrg200911 , I just found this one case study from 2021 that may be of interest to you.
- COVID-19 presenting as acute transient flaccid limb paralysis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8144799/

Note, this patient had a known history of hypokalemic periodic paralysis before getting COVID infection. His muscle weakness promptly reversed with potassium supplementation. It may be something to ask your doctor about.

Yes, thank you. Since I have had no more than 5 total episodes lasting only minutes each time, my doctors felt no need to pursue further testing. All labs have returned my potassium levels WNL.
