  • In this video I explain three of the most important types of Myositis (Inflammation of Muscles) - #Polymyositis, #Dermatomyositis (including CADM and Adermatopathic Dermatomyositis) and #Necrotising Myopathy (including SANAM), their clinical features, diagnostic tests and their treatment. You can find a link to the Cochrane review I referenced, with their latest evidence based review of current treatment options (2012) here www.cochrane.or...
    This video is followed by a separate one on Inclusion Body Myositis.

    I have been suffering for years with what I now think is what I just watched. Been to every doctor, who I've been told is the "Best" including the over rated JHU circus. What I have realized is every time I go to another "Specialist" they read the notes from the prior "Specialist", tell me to push, pull and squeeze their fingers. No one looks at my skin, atrophy etc. This doctor who made this video has provided answers to every question I have without asking. I'm sorry he's not in our country, which is too busy letting politicians destroy it and get rich as we are the cattle and sheep make to shut up and get in line. Thank you for the video

    If I went to an average doctor and told them I think I have myositis, would they even know how to diagnose it? I’ve already spent 40k on chiropractors and another 20k on doctors trying to figure out whats wrong with my body. Im not trying to put myself further in debt

    Hi, had a positive pl-7 antibody last year. After 3 months was retested and negative antibody. Bloods all came back fine apart from mildly low folate levels. Due to the second test coming back normal have been told it’s fibromyalgia and not myositis.
    My symptoms do tick a lot of myositis boxes. Recently pain and weakness feel like it’s worse. Is it worth asking for another myositis panel. Doc seems reluctant due to the test being expensive for the NHS. Just relying on normal CK and ANA levels to confirm fibro.

    I'm diagnosed with "atypical" myositis because apart from muscle pain, tightness and inflammation, my symptoms do not fit nearly into any of the specific named conditions.
    My blood work doesn't show high levels for any of the specific auto antibodies in this video. It does show a high level of anti-ku auto antibodies.

    This umbrella of diseases are very cunning and sometimes move really slowly , please make sure you monitor your CK levels - specifically CK-MM which indicates skeletal muscle damage , there are three types of ck ‘s . Monitor aldolase levels and all the other typical inflammatory markers . Some variations of this despises cause a lots of pain and weakness , make sure you find providers that understand it will take a village to take care and monitor this conditions, multidisciplinary approach if you could find it . Keep moving , do not stop moving . Reach out to the Myositis Association/ very helpful. Sometimes there’s overlapping diseases , they don’t come alone ( SAD) . Can happen to anyone from children to elderly, don’t give up asking to be identified, sometimes is a long journey. Ask questions , send messages , advocate for yourself. Keep track , collect data , identify flare ups and get tested during this windows of time .
    Take care

    Thank you for this information. I've recently tested positive for ANA, have increased levels of creatine kinase and elevated CRP. I also have mild to moderate reduction in kidney function. I have muscle weakness throughout, hands, arms, shoulders, neck, hips and legs with swelling of the right leg, ankle and foot that has persisted for over a year now. I am seeing a rheumatologist currently and in the process of testing for diagnosis. All these point in the direction of myositis or lupus.

    Oh my goodness! We talked a few months ago about my CMT diagnoses, I found out about year before last.
    Well, now my walking as gotten much worse, especially climbing stairs, I can’t lift past my abs, have trouble swallowing, my muscles in my thighs, back and core are ridiculous tight making it hard to move, and my CPK levels are in the 3000s.
    My doctor is now diagnosing me with this, in addition to the type 1 diabetes and everything else. I’ll be having a muscle biopsy soon. My sisters are also in the thousands also....

    Prednisone is CURATIVE for the widespread pain and inflammation I’ve been dealing with for 15 years. Is this disease presentation ALWAYS symmetrical? Can it be unilateral or symptoms worse on one particular side? Can this disease cause chronic sore throat as well?

    Iam 35 , I have been suffering from fatigue and muscle wasting all over my body accompanied by tingling feeling , all my blood test are ok except little high CPK ( between 200 - 280 ) and positive ANA (320) . A neurologist took biopsy from my arm and she said that i have a congenital muscle disease called ( CFTD - Congenital Fiber Type Disproportion ) .. what do you think , I’m still suffering from pain and the muscle wasting is still going .. thank you

    Dr Freilich, What are the other common blood test?
    You mentioned CPK - and others...?

    • @DrSimonFreilich
      @DrSimonFreilich  5 років тому +2

      Great question. In terms of the basic bloods. The CPK looks at a breakdown product from the muscles and this is important in establishing that the muscles are indeed inflamed. There are dedicated blood tests that look for other signs of inflammation such as the ESR and CRP, together with the Full Blood Count. Renal Function (and Electrolyte) testing is important to see if they're part of the process or being affected in the process. Thyroid function trends to be checked as well. Then, very importantly, there are the autoimmune panels of tests. This is where it becomes an alphabet soup so please excuse for not trying to list them out and which are more relevant to each condition! Anyone with these conditions should be under the guidance and care of a rheumatologist or neurologist (sometimes both) and they will order the relevant blood tests. Bw Simon
