Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 OKD, Your rheumatologist's position surprises me, but I am happy you don't have to worry now. I hope your kidneys will be OK. CRP and ESR are just general measures of inflammation.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 My rheumatologist told me to get it, because it is not a live virus and because of the RA.
