Amy, So do you mean the ccp levels increased WHILE ON AP? Or was this

before?

Cooky,

Thank you for your insightful comment about AP dose and schedule. I am just

impatient...and rather concerned as my anti-ccp levels increased from 90 to

134 in 5 months (above 60 is high). But I think you are wise...if I am

seeing results with 100mg MWF, then stick with that.

Cooky,

My ccp levels have increased while I have been on AP. The 90 ccp was in

July 2010. I started mino in September (1+ months later) and then 5 months

later (Dec 2010) ccp was 134. That's after being on AP for 4 months.

any thoughts? Amy

Sometimes blood results go up before they go down. Mine did. I hope you will

have another in about 3 months.

As for this specific test.I'm not sure if it will ever go down. From what I

have read it is a marker that you have RA and not really how much.

Anyone.please correct if I am wrong. Mine was (I think) 225. My other tests

(sed rate and RF) went down but this did not. I had one done in August.

Since my hands feel better I will ask for another when I see my PCP.

But you said you are doing better physically? Refresh me please. That's what

is wrong with erasing the past commentsJ (not complaining only saying)I

can't remember if you said you were.
