question: Hi Doc! My C-reactive protein as per fasting blood sugar is positive (96) Ref. range 0-6 mg/lt (qualitative method). My Vitamin D is 5.90. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate is 63 ( Ref. range 0-20 mm at the end of 1hr.) as per Westerngren method. I was admitted on 24th oct. to hospital with symptoms of difficulty in walking, joint pain, swelling, fever. The x-rays showed synovitis of the feet etc. The test for chikungunya came negative. I am on a lot of medication like eezflam, sompraz, trinerve, uprise D-3, Kalzin -c, ostium - kz, supanac 50mg, calpol 650 mg, becozinc, limcee. I have been told to repeat the test for chikungunya tomorrow 13.11.11. I am 39 yrs old. I have been told I have rheumatoid arthritis and severe D-3 deficiency. I am also onto physiotherapy. I want to know whether I would ever be able to lead a healthy life and how I can get back to normal routine. I am a working woman with two children.
