periodic paralyses - genetic diseases causing recurrent episodes of paralysis Definition for periodic paralyses Periodic paralysis is a group of rare genetic diseases that lead to weakness or paralysis (rarely death) from common triggers such as cold, heat, high carbohydrate meals, not eating, stress or excitement and physical activity of any kind. more Periodic paralysis is a group of rare genetic diseases that lead to weakness or paralysis (rarely death) from common triggers such as cold, heat, high carbohydrate meals, not eating, stress or excitement and physical activity of any kind. The underlying mechanism of these diseases are malfunctions in the ion channels in skeletal muscle cell membranes that allow electrically charged ions to leak in or out of the muscle cell, causing the cell to depolarize and become unable to move (a channelopathy). less some common symptoms bodyache fatigue muscle weakness in leg(s) weakness some related diagnoses 1 - 7 of 77 diagnoses alcoholism alcoholic myopathy migraine infectious myopathies hypokalemic periodic paralysis tubercular meningitis Wernicke's encephalopathy   more do i have 'periodic paralyses'?
