Ive been on Cimzia since May and my joint pain has decreased so much so that I feel 100% back to normal! My mobility is fine and it literally feels like I’m cured. I just got bloodwork back and tat looks like my SED rate is as high as it’s ever been and my C Reactive protein is going higher too. Not sure why. I have a follow up appt scheduled with my rheumatologist in 3 weeks but just wondering if anyone has heard of this...symptom free but my bloodwork shows high inflammation levels.

Hello Doggiedo:

That is so great that you are feeling like you are cured!!

Good for you.

CRP and SED are not specific to RA only. It also reveals other infections and
inflammations. Enjoy your new freedom.

We are having a huge tree cut up, off our home, garage, etc. at the moment.
Thankfully, no one was harmed here.
