Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Hi all ... I know you experts can shed some light on my latest blood work. My C reactive protein was high positive -- 24. It's never been high before although my sed rate always has been. Now my sed rate is lower and the C reactive protein is high. I am curious about this because when I was first having problems, they thought I had Crohn's disease and said that the CRP was a good indicator in that disease. I know there is a correlation with Crohn's and RA -- I am quite sure I don't have Crohn's and I did get the RA diagnosis back in November, but I know there are overlaps with the joint stuff and Remicade works well for both diseases. Ever since those first acute stomach vomiting attacks that I was hospitalized for, I have never shown other Crohn's symptoms. Any thoughts on this? I am thinking I should just put the Crohn's stuff in the past and accept all the weirdness that RA brings with it! :-) On a good note, after 3 months of elevated liver enzymes, they are back in the normal range and I can restart my plaquenil, which was helping me feel better! Love and Prayers, Beth ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
