C-reactive protein (CRP)

[braveheart]

CRP levels rise during inflammatory processes.

I got 1.9 ml/L, my physician says it not too high.

Are you guys getting high levels of C-reactive protein?
Is anyone checking this in blood tests?

This has been checked on me multiple times when they were trying to figure out what was wrong with me. It always came out normal. After I was diagnosed and saw my GI he said that while rare from time to time people with Crohn's have normal C-reactive protein levels. Evidently I'm one of them.

If I recall correctly, I had thousands of dollars worth of bloodwork done and the only thing that ever came out abnormal was my SED rate. Pre-symptom, I had been told on several times that I was popping positive for anemia but that didn't come up even during the worst of my symptoms.
