    Hey, for the past couple of years my mom has been experiencing strange and unusual feelings such as aching limbs, numbness and tingling in the arms and legs, intense burning sensations in the muscles, muscle spazems, and more. She recenetly discovered that the symptoms get extreme when she consumes a large concentrated amount of potassium such as with total cereal and certain pills such as glucosamine that have about 1000 - 1500mg of potassium per pill. She cant sleep so she now is starting to suffer from minor effects of insomnia on top of everything else. She has been to the ER for these effects probably about 15 times and they can never do anything. The doctors are retarded and don't have a fucking clue. I recomended that she smoke Marijuana for pain relief, muscle relaxation, and to help her sleep at night or atleast try THC pills. Anyone got an opinion on this? Do you think this would help or would this just be a stupid idea? Any comments appreciated, thanks.

    There is a such thing as potassiam (sp) poisoning. And generally if somthing makes your symptoms worse you should go out of your way to avoid it.

    Thank you to everyone who has posted so far i really appreciate it. I am currently looking up information on the potassium poisoning that doob mentioned and finding similar effects as what she is experiencing. She had her blood checked and she is not diabetic. Hopefully we can find out whats wrong and have it fixed. Thanks again and all new replies are still welcomed and appreciated
