    Hello Jessica

    I have received and reviewed your blood test results and here’s my answer.

    Yes, RA (rheumatoid arthritis) is confirmed with all tests you’ve done so far.

    If CRP is Normal that’s because no acute inflammation or you’ve been treated so far. Meds you’ve taken have contributed to good control of inflammation by reducing CRP.

    Please let me know the meds you’ve been taking so far.

    Thank you.
