    I've no idea, Mike, but I agree with Barbara. You'll get more response from LWA.

    Can anyone ever define normal? Maybe suitable is a better term? ESR and CRP rise for a number of reasons, I was once told that the ideal was zero and since being on the humira/meth combo mine have not risen above 5 - and have sometimes even been too small to measure. Mind you, in my bad old days they were routinely in the 160s. DD

    My esr has risen recently going from 30s to 69 although I have not noticed a dramatic worsening of my condition (psoriatic rheumatoid arthritis) . However I have just been diagnosed with a fibula fracture so I have extreme pain from that; I assume the two are not linked. All the best Linda
