Turkeygirl Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I almost forgot in addition to the poke in my thumb, I had to give some potassium, liquid version, and my instructor made me taste a drop on my pinky......eewwww....that stuff is baaadddd tasting.... I was able to mix it in some juice for the patient...he drank it all,lol. I feel really bad for any of you who've had to take it....or ever tasted if....yuck...bad deal... So now I have had some potassium and Ativan today:p:D:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have to take potassium pills sometimes because I'm on a diuretic. (In other words peeing a lot lowers your potassium, you need it, so you got to take it.) Don't take potassium on an empty stomach. You'll be sorry.

terry264 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Yep, from someone (me) who had to drink about a bucket full of that stuff over 2 1/2 day period of time,,,,,(about 26 1/2 yrs. ago),,,,Grape Juice is about the only juice that makes it tolerable. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 i'll just eat bananas, thank you Thats exactly what my Father and I did. Everyday while we were hunting at least 2 bannanas for each of us to keep from getting leg cramps hiking up and down the hills...worked like a charm;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Don't usually eat bananas on a regular basis here, but if I get sick I will sure eat them, very good for you. Great for energy and a great source of potassium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 i'll just eat bananas, thank you Only bad thing about a banana is they are loaded with fat. But I love them. My one doctor said to me one time, only eat 1/2 of a banana a day. YEAH RIGHT! Isn't Ativan a pain killer? I think I took that one time for my back.
