Several biologics are also being used.

I just noticed Actemra (tocilizumab) made the list. Maybe that is why my creatine kinase (CK) level is normal now. I was told that getting off Prednisone and stopping atorvastatin was helping to decrease my CK level.

I am not versed on myositis. The rheumatologist I see though is affiliated with a university medical center and he is the director of the myositis center. It's so difficult getting rhem appts, he's an excellent Dr, I am lucky.
