Worried
 

Whoops :).

Sorry, can't help you out! But can't blame you for worrying, it sounds like a lot of not so good stuff.

Have you googled?

Well, all I can really pick up out if that is your cholesterol is high, your thyroid is underactive and your WBC's (white blood cells, your immune cells, fights off infection, etc.) is low.

I would call him back and ask for clarification. :hug:

Ditto to what Monkey Mama said.

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.

DAY

The test results are pretty irrelevant if there is no dx or treatment discussed. :confused: These may indicate something, but he should have told you what.

It sounds at least as though you need to treat the hypothyroidism and cholesterol. Did he not say how you were to do that, or schedule a further appointment? :confused:

Cherie

CPK=Creatine Phosphokinase
 

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.
