: Usually evaluating a person for high ESR/CRP is remarkably unproductive. Borderline fever not much help either. Suggest you seek out an Infectious Diseases doc (there are many in Bklyn) and get a full evaluation. Common for the condition to ultimately present with more localized symptoms or fade away over months or years.
