i've been having one hell of a night so far, and it isn't finished yet. earlier today, i learned that my deodorant is making the skin in my armpit peel off. it's only the topmost layer, but i'd like to put an end to that, so i'm i'm not using that anymore. i have not done my treatments yes, but i have taken my evening orkambi. so i've been having muscle cramp issues in my feet for a while now, it makes it difficult to get to sleep, though it appeared to be a minor problem at most. i'd have to use my hands to put my feet back in position, then try to not move too much and i thought that'd be the end of it. earlier today, i have been eating plenty of food, and a lot of carbs, so i took a lot of humalog insulin. given how much i was eating, and given how high by glucose levels were, i needed to take 21 units of insulin. this is quite a bit more than i usually take, but it didn't appear to be a problem given my diet at that moment. within the hour, my legs were cramping up very quickly, very intensely, very painfully, and in every possible position. a thought occurred to me, so i looked up my question on the internet and found that indeed, humalog has the possible side effect of lowering potassium which causes muscle cramps. this problem has been going on for years now and i had never heard of such a thing being related. i've since taken a hot shower to help my legs relax, and i hate around 5 and a half bananas before i could sit comfortably. after having i think it was 6 in total, my feet are still being a problem, but only a little more so than usual. i will not be taking that type of insulin again, and i should be doing research into weather this is related to other types. if it isn't, then the answer it to find a suitable replacement. if it is, then i have a real problem not being able to take insulin anymore. it's also possible i just have a natural potassium deficit, though that will have to be tested more officially. i have also been looking into metobolic alkalosis, i've been exhibiting parallel symptoms to that syndrome, though that also would require official testing and diagnosis. this also means that at one point i was suffering from serotonin syndrome and potassium deficit at the same time, both of which inhibit a persons ability to function physically, mentally, and emotionally. i'm glad that i'm finding these answer, but these are problems that i didn't even know that i had, and there are likely other problems that i have but possess no knowledge of at all, and at this point i don't know how much more of this i can take.
