So I've vaguely mentioned my ongoing health issues, but haven't really caught you all up. Here's a bit of an update. The tl;dr is I've had noticeable fatigue and muscle weakness/shakiness issues for maybe a year and half or so. The past few months have been progressively worse.

We found a small thing wrong and fixed it earlier this year. I felt slightly better for a couple weeks then continued getting worse. In the last couple months the issues have worsened, and the last couple weeks have been particularly acute.

I haven't been able to stand for more than a couple minutes, and even sitting upright became prohibitively exhausting. I ended up in the ER a week and a half ago with breathing and apparent heart issues.

Turns out I just spontaneously had critically low potassium (more common to be caused by your body shedding potassium faster than normal rather than a dietary deficiency) -- scary, but an easy fix, and my lungs and heart feel normal again at least, even if my muscles still don't.
