How to treat hidden inflammation?

[worldofme]

How do you treat hidden inflammation in your body when you have normal crp and sed rate?

[Spiffy]

I am also interested in this. My sed rate is 2 and my CRP is not even measurable. My sed rate was 12 during my flare which is still considered normal.

My CRP and ESR have always been in normal range too, even through agonising flares. I don’t think these measurements (generally used to indicate whether RA is the disease) are necessarily the indicators for complex situations. The quoted text below is from an interview conducted for The Huffington Post with respected LLMD Dr. Richard Horowitz and Darryl Hall about chronic Lyme. He is talking about the many causes of inflammation in the body and the need to address them. It’s worth reading – link to it below:

We now know that different neurological diseases, including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, as well as the symptoms of chronic Lyme disease are all influenced by inflammation, which can have multifactorial etiologies.

For example, inflammation could be due to different infections (like Lyme and Bartonella), autoimmune processes, environmental toxins, unhealthy bacteria in our colons (dysbiosis), an improper diet and/or nutritional deficiencies, as well as a lack of sleep.

If we want to control the symptoms of Lyme disease and decrease these neurological manifestations, we have to address all of the above overlapping causes of inflammation.
