I had rhabdo about eight years ago. Luckily it was a relatively mild case and caused no long-term damage, but there were many worrisome months of elevated CK levels, low GFR and random episodes of edema. I remember when I presented myself at the emergency department in the middle of the night and told them I thought I had rhabdomyolysis, everyone thought I was nuts. But alas, I'm glad that I knew about it and recognized the symptoms.
