In this video, I give a life update on how my new potential periodic paralysis diagnosis, new information from family members, and something I didn't know about Andersen-Tawil Syndrome are informing my perspective on whether drinking alcohol and the progestin-only pill could have big implications, potentially life-threatening implications, on me and my family's health. I also talk about the challenge of directing your own self-care when doctors don't have the answers. If you're in the mood for a little commiserating about rare disease issues, this is the video for you.
