I have just picked up my blood test results taken on Monday, and I wish there was a way to show you the print out. Anyone that’s read my posts will know I started AP in September 2013 (six months ago). Last November my SED rate was 30 its now down to 5, and my CRP was 34 its now down to 2. I thought there maybe some improvement as I have been feeling better, but I never imagined or even dare hope for this 😆 I had a full blood count and everything else is in normal range too. Im in shock !!!
This is absolutely fantastic. I am so happy for you. Can you now argue with the GP to prescribe Mino?
SandraThank you Sandra and Woods, yes I am going to make an appointment with my gp and then Id like to shove these results up his ” you know what ” and as for that miserable rheumatologist, well Ive already been told off by the moderators on this site for using bad language, so I best not say what I want to call him 😈 Im going to celebrate with a large, no, a huge glass of Merlot 😉 xxxxx
Great News Lemons!!!!!!!
I am happy to hear about your labs , that is great. I hope you continue having better health.
Take care 🙂That is an absolutely fantastic result lemons, you must be so pleased. Great when the labs reflect the way we feel (and of course, this is what the docs take notice of 😀 😀 😀 😀 .

That’s wonderful! When did you start feeling better?
Hello elee, I cant pin point when I started feeling better, but I have kept a diary. On the top of each page next to the date I have used a colour coded system. Bad days I mark with a red star, so-so days with orange and good days when Im free of pain, green. Over the past two months I have been having mainly green star days. It may sound stupid, but its a quick way to keep a journal when you cant be bothered to write in it every night. In January I had a bout of depression like nothing I have ever felt before, this lasted a couple of weeks and then lifted. After this bout of utter misery, the pain and stiffness started to ease up too, it was very strange.
I like the star idea! It is very efficient and streamlined. I used to write down each individual joint, but I got ridiculous and discouraging. Now I just rate my overall pain level and level of functioning. Good idea.

Dr Brown spoke about depression being organic and part of the aetiology of the disease. He writes about it in The Road Back (now chapter 16 in The New Arthritis Breakthrough). Wonder if what you experienced was in the form of a ‘healing crisis’ Lemons?
