Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have cpk levels in July 3500 reduced by 24 mg per day medrol and low cholesterol diet to 1180. Is not going down for last 4 weeks. What diet can I follow to bring it down? Plaquenil was believed to have caused this but off now for a year. Had been on prednisone 10 to 30 a day until July.
Have low t 3 levels low free t 3 and free t4 and high reverse thyroxine level. although on synthroud 137 mg. thyroid removed due to thyroid cancer in remission. T s h was .70 a year ago and now 4.80. Hypothyroidism can cause increase in cpk right? What can be done to level out thyroid and maybe bring down cpk to at least near normal. G. L. C.
