Thanks, guys!
Actually, today, I found this little tidbit on low CPK levels...I guess that mine might be caused by prednisone...It says that it can occur in Cushing's or steroid therapy..

It's interesting, because it says that if it's low, it can also signal muscle weakness, much like if it's too high; although it's not really from muscle damage, but maybe the way things are metabolized to create muscle...Maybe I should take a supplement...I'll check it out...
Do you know what's very interesting? I just read over the thread started by Jana, 'Is this why doctors don't take us seriously?'-something like that-the one that discusses neurosis and MG, and she referenced something a patient was complaining about from this site.

When I looked up the low CK values, I came across the same patient a year ago...She was complaining about having low CK values and not knowing what it meant. It turns out that she has a thymoma. Here is what she was saying a year ago.

Kinda interesting...I wonder if low CK is somehow related to thymoma...I mean, I had mine taken out about four months ago, but maybe it's residual...
