Thanks for your question on HCM.
I want to ask you question.
1. For which disease you are taking wysolone since 1 year.
2. Have you checked FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) and PPBS (Post Prandial Blood Sugar) to rule out Diabetes?
Long term steroids can cause diabetes, myositis, hypertension, osteoporosis, mood swings etc.
High Anti GAD antibodies indicates Dm type 1.
High CPK suggest myositis.
So both can be explained by long term use of steroid (wysolone).
So if possible avoid this drug.
I find this answer helpful
