You are not alone.
Periodic Paralysis is a group of disorders whereby patients become temporarily paralyzed due to triggers such as rest after exercise or certain foods.
The Periodic Paralysis Association is on a mission to foster awareness of the periodic paralysis, promote science-based information regarding this class of disorder, and champion the interests of the Periodic Paralysis Community.
