My daughter was diagnosed with periodic paralysis first by her doctor. On the day of my daughter’s diagnosis her doctor shared that she suspected I had it as well. At the time, I didn’t think I did. The more I learned about periodic paralysis, went to PPA conferences, and met other people with periodic paralysis, the more I realized I do have it too. This year I am working with my doctors to start treatment and learn how to live a better life with periodic paralysis.
