Hi John Thanks for replying I am low level active in the mornings we live in a split level home so stairs are a reality but i do not overdo anything day to day. I think the onset is when i finally stop, once i have relaxed on the couch for about 1/2 hr i become exhausted and difficulty and pain getting back up and moving, it is quite perplexing as I am pretty OK in the mornings. I was not sure if anyone could answer the CRP question but i will try having night time bloods next week and see what happens .
