Hyperkalemic challenge test provoked similar weakness with raised serum potassium (6 meq/L). He responded to treatment with neomercazole. Till he became euthyroid, he responded to the addition of acetazolamide to his medication. He is symptom free on antithyroid drug alone over 8 months of follow up.
