Hi Tb12

"Question for kiwi about kennedys disease, I just rang my mum and she said no one male she knows has ever been diagnosed with any neurological disorder not her brother or her mums brother... Does that mean it's a definite no? ..I also have a normal CPK blood test which I hear is usually high in Kennedys disease. My concern is my and proximal weakness and gynecomastia which are both kennedys symptoms."

Writing as a biomedical scientist, not a health professional, I think that what your Mum has told you means that you can rule out Kennedy's Disease.

The fact that your CPK level is in the normal range supports this - elevated levels of CPK can indicate Kennedy's Disease but many other things as well.

So, probably a "definite no". You might find this Victoria-based link helpful; http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/b...'s_disease .

I hope that you get answers soon.
