Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Good Morning all, how to start..what I have been reading about the muscle biopsies here and elsewhere leaves me with some possibly stupid queries.. I had an open muscle biopsy (thigh) under local..5 samples taken and theatre runner had to have one in the lab within so many minutes... Would a local in the skin affect ANY of the readings depending what they were looking for..if so what ??? Next most interesting question for you searchers...Would thyroxine treatment and Simvastatin treatment have any effect on the readings from the biopsy...these were both longterm medications....I don't recall being asked what meds I was on .. The next morning after the biopsy when the neuro. came to discharge me he was almost peeing himself in excitement and said it would only take 2/3 weeks for the FURTHER results to come back..ie they ALREADY had read the fresh biopsy so why are many results taking so long..is it because yours are sent away ????... One year down the line for me the neuro. who I was handed over to in NHNN groaned and put his head between his hands when I put a list in front of him with the bloods taken during my admission and the meds I was on at the time....plus things we had known about since the 1970's eg kidney, hypertension, thyroid...and now PA Yes all my biopsy DEFINETLY shows a mito. disorder but could the drugs/meds have thrown the result which is why they can't pin anything down yet... Sorry the post is so long but hope you can help Gillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
