Hi All,
Just had a CRP blood test amoungst others to try and find out if there is inflammation going on in my body and yes it is, doc gave me result at 170, and yes that is a true figure 170, going for the repeat this monday.
FYI, I am on one hand a very fit 45 yr old and on another someone dogged with health issues, long story, am wondering if anyone has any experience with a figure this high?
thanks all,
Christian
CRP is pretty arbitrary. Many of the sero-negative arthropathies never show positive but there can still be inflammation. Mine has been high just once since I was diagnosed. Keep a symptom diary - there are some good apps. That's the best test of what's going on. Try rosehip, there's good evidence it has anti-inflammatory effects without side effects.
I guess you need more tests or scans to Find out why
J'ai aussi eu des résultats sanguins de CRP et de VS élevés, mais pas aussi élevés que les vôtres. J'ai eu quelques douleurs et courbatures et le médecin pense que c'est dû à mes sinus, car j'ai des problèmes avec eux. Je ne suis pas sûre de ce que c'est, mais j'ai suivi mon cinquième traitement d'antibiotiques et je retourne chez le médecin jeudi pour d'autres analyses de sang et divers tests ANA, peu importe ce que c'est lol. Votre médecin a-t-il dit ce qu'il pensait pouvoir causer cela ? Avez-vous des douleurs ou des choses comme ça ? Prenez soin de vous
Hi, along with the high CRP have unbelievable pain in my jaw, the sort of pain that wanted to chop my head off, seriously, and think was only tooth ache but becasue of the inflammation exponentially made it worse, am sure diet is related to it and just started a vegan to try, i know i struggle with dairly and wheat and already noticing big changes
