My initial blood work 10 month ago was Arthritis panel, ESR and CRP, Creatine Kinase, Magnesium, TSH (Thyroid), CBC and Comprehensive Metabolic panel. Since then, I had CRP and ESR redone 6 months ago (still negative).
Then I got a Rheumatology appointment last month and they did the following blood work:
- Rhematoid factor screen
- Anti Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody ANCA
- Extractable Nuclear Antigen Antibodies
- CCP IGG/IGA
- Sjorgrens Antibodies SSB
- Sjorgrens Antibodies SSA
- Anti Proteinase 3 Antibody
- Anti Myeloperoxidase Antibody IGG
- Aldolase
- Myositis panel
- Double Stranded DNA Antibody
- High resolution Protein Electrophoresis Panel
- Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody
- Anti-Nuclear Antibodies (ANA)

And after all that, because CRP and ESR were normal,
I was still was diagnosed as Seronegative PMR because 15mg prednisone
make me able to walk stairs and be able to function during the day.
