My latest results:   ESR = 89 and CRP = 74.   Both seem to be climbing slowly.   I'm currently waiting for approval to start biologics, hope it is approved and hope it works, I'm over this pain, had enough!

    Wow, 300.   At 74 I am unable to do much of anything and the pain when I do do something is terrble, can't imagine what it's like at 300!

      It all depends. My ESR was up there at 84 for months on end and I was feeling nothing. The infection/inflammation turned out to have nothing to do with my RA.
