Please make sure this organization keep running, we know we are minorities but at least for next generation sake. I can't imagine next generation have disease like me! Jogging climbing and other hard work out like a dream for me, hopefully some medication can help ppk to exercise without having to experience paralysis afterward
Wahyu, have you been genetically or clinically diagnosed? Having the correct diagnosis and treatment is important to your quality of life. Many patients are able to stay active with the right treatment and diet. We will continue to do our best to keep the research and awareness alive. But we can use your help by sharing this and our other videos so we can spread awareness and raise funds to continue our work.

Hi, i'm glad to find you. I've been living with this almost 20years now, my first attack when i was 12years old but yah, since i was a kid, only parents and doctor know. Then it getting worse when i was in university, many times come to hospital until know the disease name. Fortunately i can manage my diet and avoid the trigger like white rice, heavy exercise, or sudden temperature changing. But yah.. sometimea the attack comes without notice. And i realize as we growing up, the attack duration may reduce a little bit unlike when we were young.

Is there a place to find sodium gated channelopthy support to see what works for others? Also is there a place to be tested for channelopthies for family. I am already diagnosed and it was a bit expensive but we really didn’t know exactly what to look for. Is there a dedicated place for testing for Channelopathy specifically is what I’m asking. Love the videos. These are amazing. Wow.
