[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 312108, member: 7083"] I'm sorry about your husband. It seems that since technology has helped medicine, too many doctors rely solely on it and dismiss the full clinical picture. Fibro doesn't cause inflammation so, no, it won't show up as inflammation. My lab work has a history of appearing benign when the issue isn't. The frustrating part is the doctors look at the only mildly elvated sed rate and CRP and say...nope, nothing. One way of checking heart attack risk is by using CRP. If it's elevated above (I think) 3.1, it's an indication. I had it checked 6 weeks before I had a heart attack that resulted in 4 stents, with 2 blockages at 99%, one at 50% and one at 40% and my CRP was only mildly elevated. [/QUOTE]
