  1. Middle of the normal range on both including everything else that was checked. Dehydration would be odd because I only drink water and the occasional unsweet tea and it hasn’t been an issue. Stopped statins, switched to plant based protein supplement, and took the week off from any significant weights and have just walked more. Retesting Friday and will go from there.
  2. Up close to 2000, heavy upper body workout Monday, light legs Tuesday, blood draw Wednesday. He wants me to keep up the running/walking, go light on weights, increase water, retest next week and he’s going to order specific enzyme tests to try and narrow down what is driving it.
  3. Getting old is a beating. Been having issues with some tendinitis in my elbow/forearm, so I took a few days off from lifting. Then when I went back to it I just worked through it and it’s been manageable. Went in yesterday for normal cardio check (did hour+ long workouts Monday/Tuesday) and the doctor wanted do blood work to check inflammation levels. My cardiologist calls me after hours tonight (which has never happened through all my myriad issues including needing a stent ASAP) to tell me my CPK levels are off the charts high and be there first thing in the morning so they can put me on an IV to try to flush it some. He also wants me to lower the intensity of workouts which seems counter to him telling me to get serious and get in better shape. Now, I’m going to have to rethink what I’m doing after making quite a bit of progress in 4 months. Shit’s frustrating.
