CPKs are dropping and function still improving

Well adding Imuran to MTX seems to have done the trick. I have another blood panel this week to double check the trend. I had hit back up to 4000CPK in December. 6weeks after adding 100mg of Imuran a day, CPKs dropped about 1000. Looking for another 1000 this week. I gave back the wheelchair and walker to the non profit I borrowed them from. I use crutches on stairs, but otherwise use a cane or nothing. I can stand and walk for an hour at a time. I was able to deliver a workshop at a conference,two hours, so that felt like a win. My measure is getting off of chairs....can get up from anything 20" or higher. Otherwise I carry around a firm 4" cushion. So still working on endurance and hip strength. I do PT 2 a week. Aquatics  a week and bike and treadmill 2 a week. Weights in between. I am hoping all of this effort pays off and I can get back to a normal life, whatever that is! Trying to plan around energy levels and disabilities is pretty hard work. Part of this disease course I guess. Colonoscopy on Wednesday. Can hardly wait........!.
