Ya, and I'm scared of it now and think any cramping will render me helpless.
Bloodwork again? Maybe. |

Got all that covered Wayne, last time we ran blood work when I locked up it was elevated CPK levels.

Huh: I presume they ruled out all of the really bad possibilities last time? Do you think it's a sign of overtraining (excessive inflammatory processes from muscular breakdown)?

Yea, we did several rounds of bloodwork, ekg, etc... It's not overly common to have the response that I had, which is why the docs were basically guessing, as was I.
I do think that training/overtraining is probably responsible, and there are other criteria that can cause that, that I probably meet as well. I'm usually really good about knowing my body and when to back down and rest, but I just can't seem to pin down exactly what I do/have done when it happens. |

Other than the assumed terrible pain, are you pretty conscious when this happens? Are you aware of your surroundings etc.?

Yup, when it happened last year I just basically had no muscle control, couldn't pick up my legs or even grip anything.
Now, on the rare occasion that it happens, if I lift my legs i basically get a shooting pain in my adductors, or my forearms feel really tight. That sort of thing. Weird. |

I've only fully locked up once, and that was after a day of competing in 90 degree weather.
And ftr, i was very very scary to feel that helpless and have your body not work like it should. |

I'm sure it would be, especially for someone that is an athlete. Like Wayne said, I'm sure the Dr's ruled out the big problems, but I'm still glad to hear it only happened after a very hot day. |

I saw above the discussion about the loss of muscle control and/or the total body lock up. I was curious, is there any possible way that you might have hit your head. I have seen several instances where a few days after an athlete gets a concussion or some sort of head trama they can have a total body lock. They have difficulty gripping and moving. It sounded similar but If you have not had any type of head injury I am way off. Just curious.

Nope, no head injury Wes. My blood work indicated really high CPK levels.

That is crazy then. Does it happen during lifts or is it after you get done.

When I get done it seems. I've only had the full body lock once, and basically woke up in the middle of the night and couldnt move. Sucked.

There's a couple of funny rejoinders there, but I'm going to leave it alone.

I'm sorry to stick my nose in here but did they have you see a neurologist? I think I'm getting that although there was only one big "incident" there are lesser symptoms that happen more frequently. Am I right? I know there is some thing with elevated CPK levels and muscle aches, but I'm not an MD. A neuro person might be your best bet if this is a continuing concern. OK, I'll mind my own business now. |

Yea, I had a ton of tests done. I thinking (read: hoping) that my symptoms are a result of some nutritional/vitamin/mineral/water imbalance.
I upped my water intake today , which has recently been poor by any standards, and noted an improvement (and also have been using 2-3g of vitC per day). Not giving the credit there yet, but fingers are crossed. |

It was last June, and like i said be did multiple rounds of blood work, testing, etc... My understanding for Lupus diagnosis, with a quick google search, is that you have to meet certain criteria, a checklist if you will: http://www.lupusresearchinstitute.org/lupus/lupus_diagnosis Which I don't at all. |
