I had a muscle biopsy about a year ago and I have it. There is not much that can be done. I was taking a very low dose of prednisone for a couple of months but it critically raised my blood pressure and blood sugar. My CPK is higher than it ever was so I have an appointment with a rheumy in November. I don't know what he is going to do.

My symptoms are transient. First I had pain in my left thigh that went away. Now I have pain in my right arm. I hear there is a specialty clinic in Rochester, NY which is not too far away from me. I guess I'll head up there if I don't get better.

Most of the time I feel fine. My doctor is upset with my elevated CPK. I don't know what harm it does if I have no pain.

Anyway, good luck.
