Hi Jenny- I wonder if all of us with this combo could make a group or something. Beside Jenette, you are one of about 5 people I have met with this and no known gene defect.
Deanna, Myasthenia gravis can have over lapping symptoms with PP but the treatment is different. If you have not had a genetic test yet I would recommend starting there to get a better understanding of what your diagnosis is so you can start the correct treatment.
Angel, Myasthenia Gravis and PP can have over lapping symptoms but the treatments are different. You may want to look into Myasthenia Gravis as a possible diagnosis. You could also have both like Jeanette and need treatment for both.
Hi Jenette. I have the same combination. Wonder if we could come in contact? I have been a member of the Periodic Paralysis Organisation siden 2013, and I have the same combination as you.
Tammy, we did get permission from Jenette to share her contact info with you. Please contact us through this link so that we can share that with you. periodicparalysis.org/contact/
@@PeriodicParalysisAssociation I cannot log in for some reason- have sent many messages- does the PP no longer have a telephone number or email? I could not fill out the contact form as it did not work- even tried different browsers. No luck
Jenette can you contact me directly? I cannot get ahold of the PP organistion. If it is ok for you- maybe I can send you a message here, or on facebook or email?
Tammy, Jenette would love to speak to you directly. Please email Monica on the link provided to you below. She will be sure to forward your email to Jenette. periodicparalysis.org/about-the-periodic-paralysis-association/

I’m really curious on the antihistamine connection and what that means - MCAS?
Idk what it means but I take benedryl and a lot of the time I pull out of an episode. Docs don't understand bc it usually makes people sleepy.
