CRP

I think the reason inflammation markers are called CRP, is that the higher they are the more crap you be.

How high can those levels go? Mine was super high I thought - 64 - and now down to 11, thanks to Prednisone and Methotrexate, the drugs we have a love/hate relationship with.

I think it just depends on how ill you are at the time that you have the high CRP. Mine was even higher at the beginning of the illness but after 7 days it was down to 59 and l believe it's now normal.
