Re: medicine

Maria, I believe what the person was referring to as far as a malaria drug would be Quinine Sulfate. It was one of the first treatments for myotonia and is still used by many people.

Many anti-convulsants like Vimpat have been used to treat MC. They block the sodium channel which helps reduce seizures, and for us it indirectly helps with the chloride channel function.
