I  already suffer with m.s so for me that is not exactly a welcomed disease. I was only hoping for others out there that might be informative, sorry to waste your time,,,,,,,

Inflammatory markers, like C-reactive protein, mean there's some kind of inflammation going on in your body.  It could be from a million different things.  It doesn't mean you have some terrible disease, it's only part of the overall clinical picture.
