High Levels of CK Enzymes

[Guest guest]

Last week was quite a blur. In the morning I tried to get up to do my usual

bathroom run and could not move a muscle. I don't remember much about the

actions that took place next but I do know that my wife called 911 and I found

myself in the ER of the local hospital. The doctor told my wife that my CK

(Creatine Kinase)enzyme levels were very high and that I would be admitted. The

next day I saw th doctor who told me that my CK levels were still somewhat

elevated but had decreased significantly and that they had been concerned that I

had had a stroke or heart attack. That was not the case. I was released later

in the afternoon with moderately high CK levels. Since being home I've done

some research on CK and learned that it is not uncommon for us with CMT to have

higer than normal CK enzyme levels since our muscles are progressively being

damaged over time and release CK into the bloodstream.

Anyone else experience this problem?
