Thanks for the reply.

My CRP and ESR were both high at time of diagnosis along with crippling aches and pains where I had extreme difficulty walking, moving my arms and neck, and blew up my elbow where I have osteoarthritis. But it seems my inflammatory markers are fluctuating and am not sure if this is normal.

So I guess the goal is to be pain free irrespective of CRP and ESR levels? Yes, no?
