When we talk about hypokalaemia (e.g., from a channelopathy) as a cause of #SensoryOverload, many people think that a lab test will reliably reveal whether you lack potassium. So: no, lab tests are often unreliable for this. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
To add to the confusion, hyperkalaemic sensory overstimulation (sensory overload from too much potassium) can externally look similar to hypokalaemic sensory overstimulation (sensory overload from too little potassium).
As the paper states, "Potassium is predominantly intracellular; hence small shifts can cause large changes in the measured value. [...] clinicians must have a high-index of suspicion [...] when the laboratory values are not concordant with the clinical picture."
Do any of you sensory optimisers use Cream of Tartar to keep #SensoryOverload at bay? I bought potassium pills, but misplaced them. I took Mg glycinate, but that's not enough. Then I realised that I have Cream of Tartar in the house, and it's cheap. Just took some now. Let's see.
DAY 2:
It worked. I recovered. Approx. two teaspoons of Cream of Tartar in water, after one magnesium glycinate tablet, then off to bed.
