Hi, my very good friend told me yesterday that his father is suffering form miopathy rhabdomyolisis. It was very surprising for me because I know his father as man with pretty solid health. Also my friend told me that this disease might be connected to some medicines his father was taking. If someone knows more about these problems please share it with me.
Hi, I was in situation to see such patients as I have worked as nurse in hospital for a long time. This disease is characterized by sudden beginning and it affects muscles throughout whole body. It may be caused with some medicines and drugs like statins. Prognosis is variable depending of cause but it is very important to remove cause if it is possible. Corticosteroids, physical therapy and immunosuppressive medication are making progress.
