"This is not Rabdo."
Only by degree is this not rhabdo
necrotizing myopathies are not necessarily rhabdo, BUT acute necrotizing myopathies ARE:

Rabdo is "reached" at 10 x the high normal CK (creatine Kinase), or roughly 2,000... This is acute necrotizing myopathy
values between the high normal and 10x normal are just "not so acute" it's the same cause though
There are as many as 11 different cell death pathways. A spectrum, actually, from most destructive (necrosis) to least destructive (apoptosis) to the body. The spectrum can also be quantified by the energy (atp) required. From necrosis at zero energy (atp) required to apoptosis at maximum energy (atp) required.

ALL of the cell death pathways start at mitochondrial swelling and are inhibited by low dose Benadryl
