Frustrated with Unanswered Blood Tests for Autoimmune Disease

Persephonie

My blood test have been saying autoimmune disease for awhile. I’m tired of all the blood test and no real answers. They don’t know what autoimmune disease it is. Anyone else experienced this?

      @Persephonie rheumatoid arthritis is an auto immune disease so that makes sense that your CRP is elevated.

        @Andi71 my regular MD and an AR doctor which I just went in for blood test and x-rays. He said I’m what’s called a zero negative rheumatoid arthritis patient. So he gives me cortisone shots every four weeks.

        @Arabelle I can’t remember the name as my brain is always foggy but I know she’s run the complete metabolic panel on me a few times and something like crb. I don’t have it infront of me atm.

          @Persephonie probably CRP look up C reactive protine, it's an inflammation marker. Certain levels are common in Fibro and very high numbers could mean autoimmune disease or infection.
