I looked it up again and as of 7/10/2023, this is the information on the
govt site:
*Interpretation of CRP levels:*
Less than 0.3 mg/dL: Normal (level seen in most healthy adults).
0.3 to 1.0 mg/dL: Normal or minor elevation (can be seen in obesity,
pregnancy, depression, diabetes, common cold, gingivitis, periodontitis,
sedentary lifestyle, cigarette smoking, and genetic polymorphisms).
1.0 to 10.0 mg/dL: Moderate elevation (Systemic inflammation such as RA,
SLE, or other autoimmune diseases, malignancies, myocardial infarction,
pancreatitis, bronchitis).
More than 10.0 mg/dL: Marked elevation (Acute bacterial infections, viral
infections, systemic vasculitis, major trauma).
More than 50.0 mg/dL: Severe elevation (Acute bacterial infections).

Thank you for sharing the reference @pkh3381. For others looking for the link, the reference shows that it was last updated: July 10, 2023:

It still is a little unclear when it comes to diagnosing something in my mind. It shows the 1.0 to 10 mg/dL as Moderate which to me means in the middle closer to normal than high. I'm guessing the more than 10.0 mg/dL that is Marked elevation is equivalent to what my charts show as high. Great discussion point with your doctor or rheumatologist. Thanks again for bringing this topic up.
