YOU WROTE:
List of other diseases, conditions, or injuries and their treatment: May 2, 2001 my appendix was removed. Other than that there is nothing to date
Have a diagnosis for the current condition: no
Current medical status: I honestly don't know what is wrong with me nor do any of the medical personel helping me. As of right now my CK (creatine kinase) levels are through the roof. At one point in time it was over 4400.
Current medical treatment: No medical treatment has taken place yet. With out a diagnosis I wouldn't expect there to be any treatment. So far the only thin that has happened is that I have had about 4 liters of IV pumped into me.
Every laboratory has its own referent (normal) values for each biochemical parameter, depending upon the method that the lab uses. You'll need to find out the the referent values for CK are at the military laboratory. The levels of CK (creatine kinase) increase during many diseases and conditions where the muscle or brain tissue is damaged such as heart attacks, heart muscle inflammation, muscle injuries, rabdomyolisis, muscular dystrophy, polymyozitis, severe muscular efforts, hyperthermia, hypothyroidism, brain infarcts, tetanus, generalized seizures, alcoholism, intra muscular shots, electric shock, etc. Doctors should give you lots of liquids intra-venously for either physically exhaustion and/or hyperthermia. If you have no other symptom or if there is no other biochemical report ,there is nothing to be worried about.
However, you can repeat the biochemical examination after a few months to be sure.
