C-Reactive & MS

[deborah0904]

My C-Reactive Protein is 32.  My Dr immediately scheduled a Nuclear Stress Test.  It came back normal.  I have been tested several times for MS.  My visual Potential was abnormal(Not sure of the level of abnormality) but my hearing Potential was normal.  I have one lesion on my temporal lobe that was said to be demyelinating lesion.  Had a normal Spinal Tap twice.  I have alot of symptoms which are so close to MS but can't get a dx.  I then thought I had Arnold Chiari Malformation but was told that even though the Cereberal Tonsils are lower than normal that I don't have Chiari.  I'm so frustrated.  Not sure why I have such a high C-Reactive Protein.  I don't have Lupus.  Any suggestions?

Have had normal sed rate test.  Several years ago I had low Folate but it's now normal.  In 2 months I will be going to Internal Medicine Dr.  Hoping to get some new insight with her.  I have only seen regular PCP, Neurologist and Neurosurgeon.  I'm way past frustrated, needless to say.

Hi Deborah -
Have you seen a rheumatologist?  C-Reactive Protien is elevated often in rheumatic and autoimmune diseases.  THat is an extremely high CRP.  What other blood tests have you had done?
