My inflammation markers are only 18 which is about double normal I think. But its the chronicness of that raised level that is devil.

Tho perhaps right now they would show up bigger (blood test markers) because I did a lot of physical work on saturday (a lot for me), and woke up sunday with my abdomen, and one hip/thigh extremely swollen. I look heavily pregnant (after being flat stomached the day before), and its simply inflammatory reaction to the amount of heavy work I drugged myself up to achieve on saturday (no choice).

I rested most of sunday and today, and its easing up.

The nurse is coming to my home on wedsneday to show me how to use the Simponi auto-injection thing. I have high hopes! crossing everything I feel lots better soon.
