Answer this question truthfully | What is parallel play? | Parallel play is a type of play behavior commonly observed in young children, typically around the age of 2 years old. It is characterized by children playing alongside each other, but not directly interacting or engaging with one another. Instead, they may be engaged in similar activities or playing with the same toys, but each child is focused on their own individual play. Parallel play is an important part of early childhood development and helps children to learn social skills such as sharing, taking turns, and cooperation. As children grow and develop, they typically progress from parallel play to more interactive forms of play, such as associative play and cooperative play. | 710 |

Answer this question truthfully | What is the typical serum creatine kinase (CK) level associated with polymyalgia rheumatica? | Polymyalgia rheumatica is typically associated with a normal serum creatine kinase (CK) level. CK is an enzyme that is found in muscle tissue and is released into the bloodstream when muscle cells are damaged. While polymyalgia rheumatica is a condition that affects the muscles and causes pain and stiffness, it does not typically cause muscle damage or inflammation that would result in an elevated CK level. However, it is important to note that a normal CK level does not rule out the possibility of other muscle-related conditions, and additional testing may be needed to confirm a diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica. | 715 |

Welcome to Chat Doctor, and thanks for your query. It is very unlikely that you could have Multiple Sclerosis when your MRI brain scan is within normal limits. MRI brain scan has a very high predictive value for MS and is alone sufficient to make this diagnosis. Your chronic symptoms could be a manifestation of an underlying depressive / anxiety disorder also. I think that it would be worthwhile to consult a psychiatrist for a detailed assessment. Wish you all the best. - | 877 |
