Ok so I just got my bloodwork results for CRP and ESR... no one ever tested these on me before!! My CRP was around 122 and my ESR was 22!! A definite marker of inflammation thank goodness!!
So... since every CT scan showed inflammation in the sigmoid colon, I wake up at night for bm's, have fevers during the entire duration of a flare (usually for 2 weeks!), my inflammation markers are high, I've been having all the symptoms of IBD for 8-9 months now, and my Prometheus IBD serology came back positive of ASCA/IgA (actually it was severely elevated at a 135.4) which is "consistant with moderate Crohn's Disease... could this possibly FINALLY be enough evidence to be officially diagnosed??!
I am trying not to psyche myself out, however I am at least hoping to finally be moved out of the standard "IBS" category (I have had every test under the sun!)
what do u guys think?! I am hopeful this will really get the medicine ball rolling!!
