So right about the blood work, mine never shows elevated levels with the inflammatory markers…even when I had a prolonged UTI which was the probable cause of my kidney stone episode, my CRP was only 5. Very slightly elevated white cell count.
Yes, me too. The only time I have had any significant elevations in labs was when my knee was so swollen it was hanging over my knee cap. It was HUGE and my Rheumy aspirated about 800 cc’s of fluid and then injected cortisone. Aaahhhh…relief.
This is one big reason we don’t get dx’ed early. It’s a seronegative disease that hops around at will!!
My CRP ranges from 10mg/L to 20mg/L and is much higer when psoriasis flare. I get did you just have surgery a few times feom ER doctor.
