Q: ra,crp,esr,ana(< 1:40) all negative.but have sticky mouth n tongue,dry eyes,muscle pain.doc says its normal fibromyalgia n not sjogern.is it true?

Yes: Sound like fibro. You also have Sicca and not Sjogren's. Sicca is dryness as you describe and you have that too.

Q: what diseases are indicative of high esr and crp levels?

Inflammatory state: Both ESR and CRP are elevated in patients with inflammation. It may be infection or non-infectious inflammation. Common causes are osteomyelitis, arthritis, pneumonia, appendicitis, cellulitis, colitis etc.

Q: why would my lymphs be low and my segs be high? also have elevated crp & esr levels?

: Interpretation of any lab test must be done in context. What is the history leading to the evaluation/testing? What if any are the symptoms? These values suggest an inflammatory reaction in the body but without more information no reasoned answer is possible.

Q: i have elevated esr and crp, but negatve rf and ana levels. what cause those levels to be high?

: The ESR and CRP detect inflammation in the body. We interpret them based on a patient’s symptoms. The best way for you to understand them is to talk to your rheumatologist or primary care physician.

Q: had blood test for esr and crp again 3rd one and it's gone back very high again would this need testing again to see if levels dropped or not?

First the cause: You have to address the cause of the abnormal levels first..check with your doctor to plan a good treatment strategy

Q: for 12 months, my crp & esr levels have been elevated by 2-3 times the normal range. ana is also detectable. what can i do to lower inflammation?

You need: You need to determine is causing the inflammation. If for example you smoke, we know that that can elevated a crp. If you overweight, that can cause a elevated crp. If you are pregnant , both can be elevated. Without knowing more of your history it is difficult to comment on what exactly to do. See your doctor to discuss further.

Q: hs-crp level of 9. esr-20 & bradycardia, normal echo. what is another possible underlying issue? why would crp be elevated?

Many conditions: can give you an elevated CRP and sed rate, but as inflammatory markers go - these are aren't through the roof high. Rheum conditions often very hard to diagnose with lab tests ALONE&gt; You need a good history and physical

Question 1

my esr and crp levels are high. is it due to the fibromyalgia that i have?

Accepted Answer

No: Fibromyalgia is normally not associated with elevated ESR or crp. But elevated esr/ CRP are nonspecific and can easily happen in someone with fibromyalgia. Any concurrent acute infection or inflammation can be the cause. But if the numbers are very high, you may have an autoimmune disease and may have been misdiagnosed. Hope not.

Question 2

my esr and crp levels are high. i have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and also have raynauds, ulcers in mouth, sleep disturbances. could it be lupus?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Don't accept the diagnosis of fibromylalgia if the crpand ESR are high, especially with those other symptoms.  See a rheumatologist and get this figured out quickly so you can get started on an appropriate treatment.  Many doctors may disagree with me on this (i await the comments...) but i rarely use term "fibromylagia", and only then when all rheumatological testing is negative.

Question 3

diagnosed with fibromyalgia. i have crp always  20-22 and esr 52. is is related to fibromylagia? cbc always normal . should is start worrying

Accepted Answer

Fibromyalgia: Your elevated ESR and CRP are abnormal and therefore are of concern.  Continued work up to determine cause is defininately warranted. Fibromyalgia is not a diagnosis of exclusion but other disease processed can mimic or exacerbate the symptoms of fibromyalgia. Elevated ESR and CRP are not consistent with fibromyalgia.
