Guest guest Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I had my Remicade infusion on Tuesday -- also got a flu shot and a cortisone shot in my right thumb. He ordered complete bloodwork and we did a xray of my left hip. A cortisone shot in that hip is in my near future. The bloodwork came back yesterday. Liver good, kidneys good, RDW is slightly high. 15.2 -- should be between 11 and 15. I don't know if this is related to RA or one of my other problems. CRP is 1.6. Normal is between 0 and .9. He wrote " slight inflammation, stable. Would like it to be zero, but you're on fairly maximal therapy. " I do feel pretty well since I started taking an anti-thyroid medication, although I'm fatigued today. I've decided to walk our beagle a half mile each morning, no matter what. We used to walk much longer than that, but I pretty much quit walking when I first got RA. So I'm working my way up. I can easily talk myself into a half mile. We haven't been rained out yet -- we've gone almost a month without missing a day. I can mall-walk when the weather is bad, but " no dogs allowed.
