Stupid Hypoparathyroid Disorder

I can't believe I haven't wrote about this!

This is the thing, that I hate the most. It has screwed me up in so many ways it's ridiculous!

During my surgery, my super cool enlarged thyroid had swallowed up my four parathyroid glands and they decided they liked it there, so boom, they're gone.

These glands support your calcium absorption in the blood. You have to constantly replenish or your nervous system will fail and you could have a freaking heart attack. 

I've had to go to the Emergency Room TWO times, for low blood calcium.

I have found that alcohol drains me of calcium. It's literally like it's sucking it out of my system as I'm snorkeling the booze down.

I now have a low calcium emergency kit!

Here it is:

Gaterade
Xanax
Calcium Pills with Vitamin-D
Potassium
Tums

I think that's it.
When I go into an 'attack', I start to completely freak out and panic. This panic makes my symptoms crawl up and down my back, down to my hands (I call them Barbie Hands) and my whole body starts to freeze up. It is the scariest thing I can imagine.
For those who don't know the symptoms, it's a feeling of tingling, intense tingling and numbness to where your mouth won't even move when you talk. Then my legs can barely move. Arms etc... Once it hits my chest I'm convinced my heart will stop beating.

The one thing I can do to avoid ever going to the ER again? Not drink and don't forget my calcium. Like, Ever!
