New! Question about diagnostic tests

Hi all,

I'm new here and have not been diagnosed with myositis but have similar symptoms to this and fibromyalgia.

My question is, my bloods show elevated CK but normal-low CRP. Does the CRP level indicate that it can't be myositis since CRP shows inflammation? Therefore I have low inflammation levels.

Many thanks in advance.

No CRP doesn’t show it’s Myositis you can have normal CRP levels with Myositis .

A raised CK is more of an indicator for the disease.

Not what you're looking for?
