Elevated inflammatory markers
Back in December last year I had a blood test that showed very high inflammation markers. Did a repeat test to check a few weeks ago and they’re still high.
Doc just ordered yet another set of bloods to check for RA and lupus, and said if that comes back clear i’d Need a full body scan.
I am absolutely paralyzed with fear right now. My mother died from breast cancer when I was 12 and I’ve felt like a ticking time bomb ever since. All my googling points to dire things. I honestly feel like this is it.
Has anyone else had this and it turned out to be not so serious?
Re: Elevated inflammatory markers
Do you have any symptoms like pain and stiffness? If that's the case, where is it located? Is it your C-reactive protein that's elevated?
Usually high inflammatory markers would indicate infection or inflammatory disease but even a flu can get them higher.
