Before my diagnosis of PMR I had tests to check if I had a cancer. It was worrying but had to be ruled out

[piglette]

I had tests for cancer due to my inflammation markers being very high. The doctor said “this could be cancer” I went “agggghhhhh!”. They never found out the cause in the end.

Hi Piglette, was the inflammation due to PMR ? On my diagnosis I was 515. No wonder I was in so much pain. I'm glad I'm not like some on the forum who have normal CRP/ESR. Good indication for me. Just waiting for blood test results that registra took over two weeks ago....like pulling teeth getting result these days.

I have never discovered why my inflammation markers are so high. The GP says it is just me!! A medical diagnosis meaning we haven’t a clue. You beat me on your reading my maximum was 412 and my GP said that should be in the Guiness Book of records, it obviously has been beaten by you.

I hadn't got a clue when rheumy told me that it was so high, on what numbers should read. Why would we all the time we're healthy....sadly, not the case these days. But, I shouldn't moan as I've said numerous times before there are far worse of than myself. Now to put my feet up for a while as finished all the work for today. Next job will be getting dinner around 6:00pm....haven't a clue what to cook for tonight. Fed up of food !!

I have just looked at the garden and thought it is time to plant some bulbs, so I came in again and did nothing!

[Hidden in reply to piglette]

You sound like me. Every good intentions but nothing comes of them. I've been so busy today and finally finished. Hubs keeps saying to me come and sit...I'm a figet today and want to do a little bit more. I was given some lovely big apples last Tuesday from my friends tree in her garden. Now to prepare a nice apple crumble

[piglette in reply to Hidden]

I think I am just lazy! My next door neighbour has loads of apples. I was going to do baked apples and perhaps an apple snow. I suppose I could do apple chutney too. I was hoping for green tomatoes from someone but they did not materialise.

[Hidden in reply to piglette]

The crumble was scrummy

[piglette in reply to Hidden]

Well done. I like them with apples and damsons too.

Fingers crossed for you. Hopefully its just a precaution.
