muscle biopsy doesn’t match blood work anyone else ?

Posted by bprather @bprather, Jan 11 3:01pm

so i’ve had 3 myositis panels done and all of them were triple the normal range for MI-2. i got a muscle biopsy done about 2 weeks ago and the result was type 2 muscle fiber atrophy. my rheumatologist had no answers and did not diagnose me with myositis and thinks it’s more neuro related i see my neurologist tomorrow. i am so confused!! wondering is anyone had those results for their muscle biopsy and what you were diagnosed with? i would appreciate some advice!

Tests are not infallible and lab specimens can get mixed up. Maybe ask for a new biopsy and/or new/different labs. Also, modern medicine is still incomplete. Doctors do not know all the answers but doing the best they can.
