Yep it is CRP and ESR (and the other usuals like Rheumatoid and ANA etc). I know they are unreliable, and in fact had a neg CRP 4 years ago when I was still eating gluten and was inflamed as hell.
The situation is that the doctor is leaning towards a diagnosis of fibro, so if I did get a dodgy CRP or ESR that would help my cause (trying to get SI xray and HLA-B27).
I decided to do it. I know it'll probably come back neg anyway but at least I'll know I tried my best.
