I'am a female 39 years of age, had thyroid problem in past, I been seeing dr's left and right. It started with a lot of pain in my neck, shoulders, hips. I noticed it would radiate from one side to the other and each day it would get worse. I seen my dr he said my CPK was 500 so tried to get me in to see a neurologist's, this was in Jan 2009, by March 2009 I still hadnt been able to see a neuro because of drs being booked. 3-6-09 I was rushed to ER admitted with a cpk of 4900 with serve muscle pain. I was flushed out with IV fluids for 6 days.Told I had Rhabdomyolysis.I was sent home taking my normal thyriod med,1 wk went by had cpk checked it was 300,went back for weakness and pain with my family dr cpk went up to 700.He called the neuro who seen me in hosiptal,said I tested postive for Polymyositsis. I was never told this in hosiptal.i seen this neuro week after being told this and he seem to think it was my thyriod, like he thought in the hosiptal.I had a biopsy come back no major degeneration,now my neuro is sending me back to my family dr so he can send me to a Rheumo,cause neuro says I have inflamation going on. So does anyone out there make anything of this? please help
