I have one of the big 32oz insulated bubba mugs at work that I fill with ice and top off w/ diet dr pepper.........that soda is so diluted with ice I am drinking maybe half a can of soda at best. Refill it maybe three times a 12 hr work day......home choice of drink is ice water or sun tea, home brew beer etc .....
Reminds me of the comedian that said he could drink 30 weight oil and piss glacier water his kidneys were so good !
Is this lung paralysis issue common or rare ??
IMHO, rare, it's a particular manifestation of weakness with low potassium. Maybe there's another defect involving the diaphragm or phrenic nerve.
