"Has anyone with TAM had an anesthetic? I have had an email enquiry about proposed cardiac surgery to a TAM patient and the worry is that some patients with TAs can react very badly to anesthetics. The classic disease with proven anesthetic dangers is hypokelemic periodic paralysis but I am not aware of anything similar in the TAM literature. Can anyone help? See rareshare.org/communities/tubular-aggregate-myopathy/topics/456 for the full enquiry." Posted for Georger |

I have had local a couple of times. Firstly for the biopsy, and from the dentist for addition pain to the drilling. Can't say that it had any detramental effects, but that could be quite different to a general.
There is constant reference between TAM and periodic paralysis , but as far as I am aware no direct link. If Pete could login he would qualify that statement. Hope to see you back soon mate. I blame the admin.

You are quite right, the only common ground between TAM & hypokalemic periodic paralysis is TAs. TAs are found in quite a range of diseases including chronic alcoholism, exposure to some toxic pesticides and on and on. Interestingly TAs are also found in mice, horses and dogs. So TAs = TAM is not correct, you have to exclude all the other possibilities and hopefully this was done for everyone of us before the TAM diagnosis was arrived at.

In response, I had Bariatric surgery 1 year ago. I believe the surgery was approx. 2 hours. The only problem I experienced was a lot of pain in my calves when they got me up to walk. That went away after approx. 1 day. No real problems waking up.
