My C-reactive protein was elevated before I was diagnosed, and after diagnosis and 3 months of sleeping with CPAP, my CRP normalized. Could those with elevated or formerly elevated C-reactive proteins please post what their actual elevated protein levels were(are) with ranges? thanks, sol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 The C-Reactive protein ranges are always the same. According to reference range, mainstream medicine feels that under 6 is okay. So I was an 8. However, some docs believe that a good CRP score should always be no more than 1. Mine was 8 before CPAP and 2 after. I'd still like to bring that down to a 1 or less and am addressing that by taking anti-inflammatories, e.g. fish oil, ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper, etc. C-reactive protein levels, was Re: Re: sleep apnea Gikas wrote: > I have obstructive sleep apnea too and I use CPAP every night and very time I sleep.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I was just wondering. The range on my bloodwork from Sept 12 says 0.00-3.00mg/L. Mine was 2.07 More curiosity than anything. sol Gikas wrote: > The C-Reactive protein ranges are always the same. According to reference range, mainstream medicine feels that under 6 is okay.
