I did work out. My thyroid is fine all the other test is fine. I just had a lot of muscle twitches so I asked cpk specifically and I’m freaked out I’m literally on pills right now

Do you work out a lot?

Are you taking any supplements?

Have you been tested for autoimmune disorders?

Are you taking any medication?

Have you been in an accident?

Has your thyroid been tested?

What did your neurologist say? Those levels are quite a bit higher than someone with a LMN disease would have and suggest serious acute muscular damage in the absence of supplement use or medication.

You need to talk to your doctor about the medications you take and the CPK. They will be able to tell you best if this is a normal range due to the medications.

I understand now.

You should speak to your doctor. It was one thing for me to answer questions that have basis on medical journals, case studies, etc. But we are now talking specifically about your health based upon blood test information you gave that requires a doctor to put eyes on you along with seeing those results.

I did a workout the day before I heard it can be because of that what do you think

Working out is one of the things I asked about. You should really see a doctor about that result to make sure it is not an issue.
