Once open, the Na+ channels can't inactivate or close. Because sodium channels are so widespread in the body, it causes the wide-ranging effects you all had. At least it only affects the PNS, or it could have been worse (death and such). (Sorry you had to be a case study in my memory, but at least you know all the geeky details you never would have otherwise cared about!) By the way,I feel very nerdy for writing all that down. Hope the rest of the trip went well, and I hope you are having fun in San Fransisco!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622777752764175126noreply@blogger.com
