Total CPK-Extremely high?

Isn't that showing muscle breakdown.

I know they have checked my daughters several times to make sure her depakote wasn't causing muscle breakdown.

It is also what they check when they are checking for a heart attack.


It sure didn't sound good. Wonder why your doc didn't do more or something, instead of just looking sad.

I would look up CPK via google. It can show muscle damage but it can also just show you exercised vigorously or injected yourself intra-muscularly...but I'm no expert. If your doctor looked sad there may be more he is holding onto that he may want to verify first before worrying you...but I would definitely ask him directly about the results. Ask for clarification...and next time he looks sad...ask him why.

No point in going home feeling like you are missing some vital piece of your health puzzle. Good luck.
