Hi all

Can anyone give me info. Hospital just phoned and said that franks potassium and phosphates were low and that I have to go to hospital to pick up a script. Frank told them he was going to see consultant on Thursday and could it wait till then. He was told no. Is this serious and can anyone tell me what the symtoms are. Frank had cellsharvested last week and is feeling a bit tired

Thanks
Jean

Hi Jean and Frank,

Phil has never been told anything about phosphate levels but I do know they checked his potassium levels after the harvest as a side effect of the harvest can be a drop in potassium. Sorry I can't be more help but I hope the medicine will fix the levels and maybe improve the tiredness?

Hi Jean
Sorry to hear that Frank's P & P levels have dropped. I don't know about phosphate but I know the potassium levels can be quickly boosted by bananas.

Try to have a Merry Christmas.

Symptoms are palpertations,but have to be very low,drugs are awful to take,so stuff him with bananas plus apricots,make sure he eats at least two a day,that a potassium aby way.if he starts to feel unwell it's a bit like starting a heart attack,it is important that it is corrected,why not go and collect physcription.
