Yesterday I got a call from my doctor's office about the results of my lab tests. I had them done on Wednesday. They told me the doctor says everything is fine. I asked "even the cholesterol?" Some numbers were not quite normal last time. She said it fine. After I got off the phone I remembered I had asked my doctor to check CRP C Reactive Protein. It has never been fine. It's always off the charts high. I don't think they really know what it means and I think my doctor has stopped worrying about it. The number dropped a lot a few years ago when I lost 50 pounds but was still high. Both my doctor and I
thought maybe it would go down after I had my gallbladder out, but it didn't. Now I can actually see areas that have inflammation, in both ankles and my knee. So I'm sure CRP can't be normal. CRP indicates inflammation in the body. I can review the results online with the lab but they don't have them posted yet. That happened last time, my doctor got the results right away but I couldn't see them for about 3 days. I noticed this time he requested the test for high sensitivity CRP.

I hope the CRP is better.

My lab results are available. They didn't check cholesterol ( it's been less than a year). Everything they checked is fine EXCEPT CRP. Optimal levels is <1 mg/L, levels between 1&3 mg/L could indicate an average risk of heart disease. 3 could indicate increased risk of heart disease. Mine is >10. It has always been that high. They used to give actual numbers. I think it was 15 at one point. The lowest is had ever been was 7.2 in 2018 after I lost 50 pounds. It was 9.4 in 2019 but over 10 ever since. My doctor says it indicates inflammation somewhere but he never sees any indication of heart problems. The number freaks me out. I know I can reducing it some by losing weight and following the anti inflammatory diet.
