Happy Fifth Anniversary to Our PPN Blog!!






Happy Fifth Anniversary to Our PPN Blog!!

            It has been five years since I created and wrote my first article in our Periodic Paralysis Network (PPN) Blog, Living With Periodic Paralysis: The Blog. I decided because our PPN Support Group was open to only those who have PP and their family members, that we needed another format for sharing information about Periodic Paralysis (PP) and for bringing more awareness to this rare, little understood, disabling and cruel medical condition, which is a mineral metabolic disorder.

Since that day, over 150 articles have been written and shared about every aspect of Periodic Paralysis from what it is, to how to manage the symptoms and how to get a diagnosis.

The following was our first Blog article:

Hello All,

Welcome to our new blog!!!! It is our desire to share with the world everything and anything we can about Periodic Paralysis with the hope of educating and supporting others with the condition and educating others who do not have it but would like to know about it, including doctors and medical professionals. I began a blog several years ago and wrote daily for over a year, but it was a closed blog, as is our support group, so only our members could read what I wrote. We have been looking for a way to be able to reach more people with our important information, so decided it was time to create a new blog and open it up to the world!!!! Please feel free to ask questions and share your experiences with us.

We would like to introduce ourselves:

I am Susan Q. Knittle-Hunter and my husband Calvin Hunter. We are passionate about helping others with Periodic Paralysis and sharing information about it. Periodic Paralysis is very rare, hereditary, debilitating, difficult to diagnose, mineral metabolic disorder, also known as an ion channelopathy. I have a form of it and was 62 years old when I was finally diagnosed, 3 (now 8) years ago, after suffering the effects of it nearly my entire life and nearly dying from the wrong diagnoses and incorrect treatments I received.

Calvin Hunter and I are the founders and creators of an on-line independent organization, the Periodic Paralysis Network, a private educational, support and advocacy organization, which is patient-safety-related due to the serious nature and potential life-threatening symptoms and side effects of this condition if it is not treated correctly.  We have a website with a forum containing 3 distinct discussion groups and we have written and published two books, the only two (now 4) books written about Periodic Paralysis...Living With Periodic Paralysis: The Mystery Unraveled, which is an extension of our website and a workbook...The Periodic Paralysis Guide and Workbook: Be The Best You Can Be Naturally. We work towards the improvement of the quality and safety of patients from all over the world with the various forms of Periodic Paralysis. Our focus is on educational resources to build self-reliance and self-empowerment and to prevent possible harm from improper treatment. Our approach to treatment focuses on the self-monitoring of vitals and the management of symptoms through natural methods. We also offer strategies to understanding the disease, getting a proper diagnosis, managing the symptoms, and assisting caregivers and family members. We have members from all over the world, (Iran, Ukraine, Turkey, Denmark, Wales, Netherlands, Canada, Finland, Australia, and more) who are seeking help for themselves, their children and entire families and are unable to find it anywhere. We provide ideas on how to find doctors, get a diagnosis, get the proper help in the ER, how to discover their triggers and much more.

Periodic Paralysis is often misdiagnosed and mistreated, thus causing more damage or possible death to the person with it. There are several types: Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis (low potassium), Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis (high potassium) and the type I have, a variant of Andersen-Tawil Syndrome (ATS), is the most rare and the most serious type. Long QT interval heartbeats can accompany the episodes. On a cellular level, triggered by things such as sleep, exercise, sugar, salt, most medications, stress, cold, heat, anesthesia, adrenaline, IVs, etc., potassium wrongly enters the muscles either temporarily weakening or paralyzing the individual. Episodes can be full body lasting hours or days. Permanent muscle weakness may occur over time. If it affects the breathing muscles it can become terminal. Dangerous heart arrhythmia, heart rate fluctuation, blood pressure fluctuation, choking, breathing difficulties, cardiac arrest and/or respiratory arrest can also accompany the episodes. Due to these complications, it is extremely important to avoid the episodes. There are no known cures, but there are treatments/drugs for some forms, which can be and are successful for some individuals (but the side effects over time can be and are harmful).

The type I have, Andersen-Tawil Syndrome (ATS), however, has no traditional medications, which can alleviate the symptoms, but by avoiding the triggers and by using some natural methods, the number of paralytic episodes can be reduced and the severity of the episodes can be lessened. Due to many wrong diagnoses and improper medications, I am severely disabled in a power wheelchair and on oxygen therapy 24/7. I was having episodes 4 to 5 times a day but now, with the natural methods have been able to reduce the number to about 1 or 2 a month (Now once or twice a year) during my waking hours (sleep is my biggest trigger so I continue to have them every night as I sleep) with less severity and for shorter periods of time. Calvin's tireless research discovered these methods and saved my life.

I earned B.S. degrees in Psychology and Special Education at the University of Utah and spent many years as a teacher and case manager working with children and adults with disabilities. Calvin earned B.S. degrees in Behavioral Science and Psychology at Westminster College and the University of Utah. He also holds a M.Ed. degree in Special Education and M.S. degree in Information Technology from the University of Utah and Capella University. Calvin worked in a variety of fields including teaching, corrections and case management.

We are now retired and enjoy the peace and beauty of the forest in our new home on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. We live with two spoiled cats and plenty of wildlife. We are presently writing our next books and continue to work daily to help others with PP. In his spare time, Calvin enjoys working with wood and tends our organic garden while I enjoy genealogy research and reading historical romance novels. We have three children and five grandchildren.

Please join us often for a new lesson or story related to Periodic Paralysis. Please feel free to ask questions and share your experiences with us.

            Over the past five years we feel that we have been successful in our endeavors to educate the world about Periodic Paralysis.  On the day we posted our first article five years ago, we had less than 150 members. Today we have over 800 members from all over the world! Some of them joined us after finding our Blog.
