    Low potassium

    Just curious, does any other PALS here have problems with low potassium? My doc just doubled my liquid supplement from 20 mEq 2x daily (15ml Potassium Chloride liquid 2x daily) to 40 mEq 30 ml 2x daily.

    Is This Nearing the End?

    Last two weeks I have been sleepy or sleeping all the time. I nap twice a day for 90 minutes. 8 hours at night. I use the ventilator 20 hours daily on Passive AVAPS. Spirometer testing last week was at 19% FVC. Fluid and food intake is good through the MIC-KEY button. No pain, just stiffness...

    Non-dairy Milk Options for Shakes

    Thank you everyone for all of your continued support. I am currently looking to supplement my PALS diet with an all natural nutritional shake powder. What would be the best form of milk (dairy or non-dairy) to use for the mix? Any guidance is very much appreciated.

    Multi language support for the supplement wiki

    I installed a language pack that will enable anyone to create a parallel page of the Supplement wiki in their own language. Mediawiki offers a pretty slick platform for translating pages. I started work on the Finnish language version, but the choice of additional languages is unlimited.

    Upset stomach

    Recently, my feedings have started to just not sit well in my stomach. I'm supposed to do at least 5, preferably 6, feedings a day and I'm just dreading them.

    Had clinic on Wednesday and was given another prescription for a PWC. They wrote a script last time, but I didn't follow through. I have an older worn PWC that was given to me, so I let the script lapse. The clinic has their own DME. But after he told me he only has Quantum wheelchairs, I...

    Recovery Time

    I have decided to get a PEG/PRG sooner than later. I can still eat but it takes me a long time and I get tired before I get full. I do have some things I cannot eat due to choking. I supplement with protein drinks so the weight loss has slowed down. I move next week to FL and had planned to...
