I have fibro and I just found out. I was wondering if anyone know if their C-reactive proteins are high from fibro. Normal is .033 to 1. and mine was 21 and a week later it went to 31.5. I really am concerned.

Fibro and c-reactive proteins
I did and it just said it shows that there is inflammation in my body but not where.
Hope this helps, I've just read this on the net :
What are the main causes of an elevated C-reactive protein (CRP)?
In general, the main causes of increased CRP and other markers of inflammation are a variety of conditions, including
burns,
trauma,
infections, such as pneumonia or tuberculosis,
heart attack,
chronic inflammatory diseases such as lupus, vasculitis, or rheumatoid arthritis,
inflammatory bowel disease, and
certain cancers.
Yes I looked it up. I just don't know why mine are so high. Thanks
Have you been tested for lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis? cause from what I've read on here and the net it seems common to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia when it's lupus and vice versa and also possible to have fibromyalgia alongside either or both of those illnesses.
Thanks. What is your esr? How high was your cpr if you don't mind me asking.
Hi
C R P and ESR are markers of inflammation somewhere in the body, as others say could be anything .When you had blood taken did you have a cold ,sore throat, ear infection simple things will cause it to rise. If GP has not raised concerns I would not worry but ask for bloods to be retested in a few weeks to see if it has changed.

ok thanks
Hi Linzyandsamsmom46
I am so genuinely sorry to read that your CRP levels are so high and I sincerely hope that your doctor can ascertain the cause of this. CRP levels are not Fibro related an indicate other things such as Little-e has intimated and listed above. I would talk to your doctor about these and see what they say? I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.
All my hopes and dreams for you
Ken
