@paula630 could you have an infection? My tests were like that with COVID. Also with Lyme disease. Lyme testing often has false negatives if the Elisa was used. Western Blots are better but only used if the Elisa is positive. The Western Blot has "bands." The CDC definition of positive requires a certain number of bands. But some doctors go by which bands are specific for Lyme (23 for instance) and say even one means a positive. There are "Lyme literate" doctors and there is a lot of controversy on diagnosis and treatment See lymnet.org.

Just a thought.

If your ANA (antinuclear antibody) and rheumatoid panel are negative it is quite a mystery to have such a high sed rate and CRP. Hope you get some answers!

Thank you for all your insights. I had heard that about Lyme (my SIL had it) and will ask again. I guess I’ll learn more as soon as I can get a Rheumatology appt. Very much appreciate this Forum!!
