Hope this a lab error...
My neurologist's assistant called today to tell me my CPK is 250. The last time I had this checked, about this time last year, it was 60. My adolase level was normal, but I didn't ask her what it was. Could one be elevated so much, and the other be normal?
I am hypothyroid, but well-controlled on 50 mcg of synthroid.
He wants to redraw it in 2 weeks. Should I request individual levels ( heart-brain-muscle?) I have a suspicion I have some autonomic neuropathy, POTS maybe, but haven't been formally tested. I have motor damage in my left foot, a little bit of atrophy that seems unchanged, fasiculations they say are benign. Clinical strength tests are good except the last 2 toes on my left foot. Good strength in big toe.
This has me a bit freaked out.
