Are you supposed to have had it done? If so, just ask the practice.

no really it did not hurt thatmuch, had a lot worse.
So what a difference in attitude this time, she said i have the best gp she l
knowes, as Dr Warwick did test without asking and sent an email to say she wanted me to been seen by the rhemy before she went on holiday today.
The biggest problem they have is my creatine kinase level is so high one minute and so low the next, after christmas i will be going back for more scans xrays, and blood test.
I am so grateful that hopefull i will be able to walk a little and play with my grandson at christmas, will keep ypou informed, and hope you have a good christmas, many many thanks for all your help, as without it i would not be in this position today.x Mags

Hmm - CPK is high is it, that suggests it might possibly be polymyositis. I think that is treated with high dose pred usually, a short time at high dose and then reduce. I don't know how polymyositis works - I suppose it could also be like some sorts of inflammatory arthritis where it flares which would cause the raised values, and then goes quiet for a while. I don't know if there are other things with high enzymes like that.
At least they've seen it in full flow though so it should be something for them to focus on and with a bit of luck you'll have a relatively pain-free Christmas!
