Hello everyone,
Can anyone suggest the best way forward for me. My latest blood test has shown an increase in CRP from 1 to 5.3 and ESR 17 to 25. I currently have a second UTI, first one August and am taking antibiotics. Could the UTI be elevating my CRP and ESR? I don't want to increase my pred unless absolutely essential. It has taken me 18 months to get from 9mg to 4mg a day.
I don't seem to have any PMR pain. The CRP is very low in comparison to the 64 to 78 in past flares.
