Where is the best place for treatment of periodic paralysis?
The best place for treatment is almost always the patient’s own family physician, if that physician is willing to read about the condition and learn how to manage it. Every patient responds a bit differently to treatment and the members of our group who are, on the whole, the most satisfied with their care are those who are cared for by the person who cares for their overall health. Common illnesses like a 24-hour stomach flu can turn into life-threatening emergencies for a HyperKPP patient, and in these instances there is no time or opportunity to go to a far away specialist.
